One of my favorite ways to simplify meal planning and keep food costs low is to schedule breakfast for dinner about once a week. To be honest, actual breakfast for my kids during the week is usually a muffin or cereal bar and some fruit. But when I’m making breakfast for dinner, I’ve got more space […]
Trail mix is a great snack for taking on the go or eating at your desk or for taking on hikes (hence the name!).
