5 Tips for Hiking with Kids (and Banana Oat Blender Pancakes!)

Fall in New England - the season is just beginning and in my opinion - there is no better time to hit the trails with your family. Whether you want to go on a simple walk through the woods or aim high and go for the summit - being prepared increases your chances of having happy hikers and making this a regular activity for your family! 

Maple Roasted Radishes

 What happens when you mix radishes and maple syrup????? Simply put - a unique, delicious party in your mouth! Roasting is my secret weapon when preparing a healthy, flavorful meal - especially with this recipe. The roasting takes the "bite" off the radish and replaces it with a subtle nuttiness which will amaze you.

Crockpot Sweet Potato Chili

Every morning my little guy needs snuggles, reassurances, and a little tough love to get off to school. Transitions are always a tough time for him - especially when it involves new routines and new people. From pre-school where he cried every.single.morning at drop off  to now 2nd grade where every morning he gives me a litany of reasons why he doesn't want/need to go to school ("we don't learn anything anyway and all we do is Math all day...") --- a morning where we can actually get out the door without some drama on his end is rare.

Thankfully I have a few tricks up my sleeve to at least send him off with a lunch he looks forward to each day. The kid loves a good hot meal and often requests pasta or soup for his school lunches. Enter in: the Sweet Potato Chili that has rocked our world and dinner table...this recipe gets an A++++ for simplicity, amazing flavor, and I'm sure it would freeze well --but it never made it that far for us. This may be the first recipe in a loooong time that I actually stuck to the original recipe (well, mostly)!

Gluten-Free Apple Muffins

Baking + gluten-free can be tricky - so when I come across an easy + delicious gluten-free baked treat, you can believe I am going to share it here. Nothing fussy or weird here, just straight forward ingredients and a muffin enjoyed by my entire family. I try not impose my gluten-freeism (is that a word?) - on them, but they didn't even notice!

Easy Breakfast Scramble

Its been a busy week in the Fresh Mama house! We are back from the lake + jumping right into school + activities. I don't know about you, but I always feel the new school year is so much more of a transition than the New Year. A perfect time for a fresh start and new habits!

These two were all smiles before riding the bus to school on the first day.
