mama jess’ favorite healthy lunches – part 2 – perfect for school or work
Hello Friends – We decided to do another round of Mama Jess’ Favorite Lunches because they were crazy popular & we feel we need some new motivation half way through the school year.

Vegetable of the Month – Spaghetti Squash February is upon us already! Winter is in full swing where I live and my thoughts are already turning to warmer spring weather ahead of us. Soon enough, I remind myself. For now, I will embrace the winter wonderland in the Midwest! Most of you with active school age children know how busy it is for families at this time of year.
