Yummy, Healthy, Happy Eats
I like recipes that taste good (of course) but are also easy to make and hard to mess up.
I’m a mom, so of course want healthy wholesomeness for my kids, but I don’t get too crazy with it. My approach is simple and a little old-fashioned in that I don’t use a lot of exotic ingredients or get terribly fancy with my spice combinations. Just yummy basics, updated for modern mom life.
