Cookie dough balls are the best answer for my son's summer snack and nutrition needs. I can include my kiddo in the prep, he eats them like they're going out of style, and I know he is getting good fuel for his body and brain while he plays.

I said it. The thing moms are never ever supposed to say. I NEED MORE.

This is utter nonsense. There are no good or bad foods so let's stop moralizing food. Let's also stop moralizing money fitness and time!

Apparently, there's a thing happening in Houston this weekend. A sportsball game of some sort and people are super excited about it.

This weekend, I was at a work function where there were thousands of vendors trying to sell their goods.

I soaked a few dates in some hot water, whizzed them around in my Nutribullet, strained out the chunks, and put it back in the Nutribullet with my coconut milk, plus a teeny-tiny pinch of pink Himalayan sea salt.The result? A genuinely delightful creamer that blew me away.

I grew up in West Texas. When I was a small child, we left the lush, rainy beauty of the Pacific Northwest it made her way down to the dust bowl and flatlands of West Texas. It was traumatic, to say the least.

If you grew up in a typical Christmas tradition, you probably had the same dinner at Thanksgiving and at Christmas.
