Picky toddler, right over here!  Kay is SO PICKY!  That being said, she’ll devour these eggs up in minutes and even ask for more!  Best Breakfast Eggs for Toddler means that these are the best we’ve made and baby girl thinks they’re the best she’s ever had.  Kay loves them slightly scrambled and loaded with cheese.  Whenever I would make her cheese eggs the cheese would be too hot and despite my best efforts it would make the pieces too big for her.  I’ve come up with the perfect solution to get the best bite size little scrambled egg bits for your toddler, and of course mine!

My daughter has never enjoyed a bite of cheesecake.  She’s two years old!  Obviously, with all her new food passes, we had to take it slow and we had a bunch of hiccups.  Cream cheese caused us a ton of confusion with her FPIES (what is fpies?) food allergy.

For awhile she would have a chronic reaction whenever she had cream cheese, but she’s never experienced a chronic reaction with any other food.  We waited quite a few months to try cream cheese again.  Just recently we also found a graham cracker that has NO soy!  Plus they’re non-gmo and even organic!

Kay loves to snack on these honey grahams, and as soon as we found these we knew we had to try cream cheese again.  Thankfully it went well and she can now safely eat cream cheese!  Of course, we had to rush and make a cheesecake.  Not just any cheesecake.. but a vanilla bean cheesecake.  Kay loves chocolate and berries so we obviously had to top with chocolate covered strawberries.  We’re not a fan of cooked down fruit so we just left them as is.

I love saving time in the kitchen, whether it’s the prep or the clean up.  Lately Chris has been taking lunch to work since we realized he was spending well over $200 a month eating a work.  I love to go to the wholesale stores and buy a huge thing of chicken and cooking it all one day and freezing into individual packages for him to take.  I realized in doing this how easy it is to prep ahead for dinners too!  I simply double the portions and have enough for us for dinner now.  It’s perfect for when I’m just not in the mood to cook and we’d typically order out.  I had ordering out, it’s sooo expensive and not very healthy.

I don’t know about you but this has been one expensive summer!  Hubby and I love to take vacations during the summer and we ended up spending well over $3k staying local for our first vacation week.  Since we had so much fun we did it again!  Now we’ve been doing short day trips to the shore since hubby has off, but ouch our bank account!  Thanks to Walmart and their rollbacks dinner doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg.  (That’s only when we eat out! ;-))  We actually spent most of the money eating out and obviously hotels.  Simple dinners aren’t so easy to do when you’re out on vacation.  We save the budget meals for home and splurge while we’re out.   Walmart is especially helpful on the 1st and 15th of the month when your waiting for you paycheck!  Our summer meals are our absolute favorite.  It’s always easy to make low budget meals and budget recipes on the grill too!

I’m a Philly girl at heart and LOVE a good Philly Cheesesteak.  However I always get sick whenever I eat them.  Like really sick.  I’m not really sure why.  I love the steak flavor with the caramelized onions and the way the bun soaks up all the grease from the beef!  I go to Whole […]
