Homemade lasagna on a busy weeknight — yes, please!

Back to school season is no joke. Between the early mornings, the activities, and the homework, getting a real dinner on the table can feel impossible. This is my answer — a butternut squash and kale lasagna that looks like you spent all day on it and actually comes together in 10 minutes, plus hands-off baking time.

The secret is frozen butternut squash and chopped curly kale. They do the prep work for you— just open the bag and add to recipe.

Stahlbush Island Farms was the first farm in the U.S. to be certified sustainable, and they care about the land just as much as the food they grow. That matters to me — especially when I’m feeding my family.

Butternut Squash & Spinach Lasagna Recipe

12 to 15 lasagna noodles, gluten free, if necessary; see notes
8 ounces (226g) whole milk ricotta
1 cup (2oz) grated Parmigiano Reggiano
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 large egg, lightly beaten
8 ounces (226g) mozzarella, shredded, 2 packed cups
28-ounce jar of spaghetti sauce (or more)
1 bag Stahlbush Island Farms butternut squash
½ bag Stahlbush Island Farms frozen spinach

Preheat oven to 375º F.

Add 1 cup of pasta sauce to the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
Layer uncooked lasagna noodles, followed by more sauce, ½ of the cheese mixture, half of the butternut squash, and about 1 cup of frozen spinach. Sprinkle about 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the top.
Repeat with 1 more layer of noodles, sauce, ricotta cheese mixture, vegetables, and mozzarella.
Top the lasagna with 1 more layer of noodles, generously topped with marinara (the moisture in the sauce softens the uncooked noodles, so it’s important to use a lot here!). Add the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Wrap the casserole dish tightly in foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove the foil, and continue to bake for 5-10 minutes to brown the top.
Let sit for 5-10 minutes prior to slicing.

Pan upgrade— & a beautiful Spanish tortilla. 🍳

Comment “MISEN” and I will send you more info. on this pan!

A Spanish tortilla is a potato and egg cake that requires cooking in a generous amount of olive oil, and then making one very confident flip onto a plate. It’s the kind of recipe that immediately tells you whether your pan is actually nonstick — and the Deeper Carbon Nonstick passed with flying colors.

The Misen Deeper Carbon Nonstick is everything I love about the original Carbon Nonstick, with extra depth that genuinely changes what you can cook.

✔️ No chemical coating — completely non-toxic and safe for the whole family
✔️ Carbon steel builds a natural nonstick surface that gets better with use
✔️ Metal utensil safe — no babying required
✔️ Goes straight from stovetop to oven — no swapping pans mid-recipe

🥚 Spanish Tortilla
Serves 6-8

Ingredients:
6 medium Yukon gold potatoes, very thinly sliced
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
1/3 cup good quality olive oil
12 large eggs
2 tsp salt, plus more to season potatoes
1 teaspoon sweet Spanish paprika

black pepper, to taste

fresh chives or parsley, to garnish

Instructions:

Heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Add potatoes and onions in layers, seasoning as you go. Cook for 20–25 minutes, gently turning occasionally, until potatoes are completely tender.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs with 2 tsp salt until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan and spread evenly over the potatoes. Cook until the edges are visibly set, about 10 minutes.
Place a large plate firmly over the pan, and flip in one confident motion.
Continue cooking the tortilla for another 5 minutes to fully set the bottom.
Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with chives.🔗 Find the Misen Deeper Carbon Nonstick at the link in my bio — this one is worth it.

This child has eaten the same plain foods for ten years. And I say that with all the love in the world.

Getting Xander to eat a variety of foods on any given day is — let’s call it a creative challenge. Some days he’s on board. Most days he is not.

As a mom who cares deeply about what goes into his body, the nutritional gaps that come with a picky eater are real.

💬 Comment “PICKY” below and I will DM you a link to check out VitalPals Superfood Gummies!

That’s where comes in. These Superfood Gummies are derived from a blend of 16 fruits and vegetables and deliver 100% of the daily value of 10 vitamins and minerals — so even on the days where dinner is essentially beige, I know he’s covered.

They come in 2 flavors - Xander loves the Sour Punch Sour, which taste like his favorite candy! There’s also CitraBerry for kids who don’t love sour as much.

The best part? He takes them without a single argument. Parenting WIN!

Quality ingredients I can actually trust, wrapped up in something he genuinely looks forward to every day. 🙌 (And he thinks he’s getting a treat).

The meal prep hack that helps me hit my protein goals 🙌

I make big batch proteins, like this Slow Cooker Moroccan Chicken. Then I portion the protein into containers based on my goal.

💬 Comment CROCKPOT below and I’ll send you the full recipe!

My daily goal is 140 grams, so I know exactly how many containers I need and the math is already done. No guessing, no tracking every meal from scratch — just grab a container and go.

goes right into the spice blend with cumin, cinnamon, ginger, and chicken broth — and it creates this incredibly rich, slightly nutty sauce. It’s one of my favorite hacks for making deeply flavorful sauces without any complicated technique.

Since is made from sunflower seeds, it’s completely peanut free — which means this meal is safe for everyone at the table.

Served over cauliflower rice with fresh cilantro. Whole30, paleo, and genuinely one of the most satisfying things I make on repeat.

Thai Chicken Burgers — take-out flavor made peanut free. 🌿🔥

Comment THAI below and I’ll send you the full recipe straight to your DMs!

Thai Chicken Burgers with an Asian slaw and a SunButter “peanut” sauce that tastes like Thai takeout. Secretly peanut-free, made with Sunflower Seed Butter.

Something worth knowing beyond the recipe: peanut allergies are so much more common than they used to be. Odds are someone in your life — a friend, a kid’s classmate, someone at your next dinner party — can’t safely eat peanuts.

Using instead of peanut butter means you can make a recipe like this and know everyone at the table can actually enjoy it. And, it keeps your grill safe for guests who visit later on!

Sunflower seeds, salt. That’s the whole ingredient list.

Mint chocolate chip for breakfast — and it actually keeps you full until lunch. I promise this is not too good to be true.

This smoothie has become my favorite way to get my acacia fiber in every morning, because it tastes like dessert and my body has absolutely no idea it’s doing something incredibly good for it.

Acacia Fiber is totally tasteless and doesn’t change the texture of my smoothies at all!

Here’s why this combo works so well beyond just tasting amazing:

✔️ The acacia fiber slows down how your body processes the banana and dark chocolate — so you get steady energy instead of a sugar spike

✔️ 30 grams of protein keeps you genuinely satisfied all morning

✔️ 10 grams of fiber feeds your gut bacteria and keeps digestion running smoothly

✔️ The whole thing blends up thick, creamy, and ice-cream smooth in under 5 minutes

The secret to that perfect mint chocolate chip texture? You blend everything smooth first, then pulse the dark chocolate chunks in at the end. Just a few pulses for tiny bites of chocolate!

The acacia fiber I use is — one ingredient, completely tasteless, dissolves clear, and zero bloating. It’s genuinely the easiest upgrade I’ve made to my morning routine.

Grilling season is officially here and this Chicken Satay Bowl is already on repeat. 🔥

Everything I love about satay — bold Thai flavors, creamy sauce, perfectly charred chicken — built into a complete whole food bowl that comes together faster than you’d think.

💬 Comment SATAY below and I’ll DM you the full recipe

And the satay sauce? That’s the part everyone asks about.

is my go-to swap for traditional peanut sauce in all of my Asian-inspired recipes. Same rich, creamy, nutty depth — but made from sunflower seeds, so it’s allergy friendly for the whole family and honestly just as delicious. Maybe more.

Here’s what’s in the bowl:

🌿 Coconut-marinated grilled chicken thighs

🥗 Cauliflower rice, cabbage, cucumber, carrots

🥜 Creamy satay sauce with red curry paste, coconut milk + lime

🌿 Fresh cilantro, scallions + sesame seeds to finish

High protein. Loads of fiber. Big bold flavor.

This is what fueling an active kid actually looks like in our house. 🙌

Grass fed steak bites, fresh fruit, carrots, and cashews — real food, zero stress, on the table in under five minutes.

When your kid has a full day of school, sports, and everything in between, the snacks you keep on hand matter more than most people realize.

Grass Fed Steak Bites are my secret weapon for making sure my son is getting real protein without me having to cook an entire meal every time he walks through the door hungry. And with an active 10 year old — that is a lot of times.

Here’s why this snack plate works so well:

✔️ Grass fed beef bites — high quality protein to support growing, active muscles

✔️ Fresh fruit — natural energy without the crash

✔️ Carrots — fiber and crunch to keep him satisfied longer

✔️ Cashews — healthy fats that round out the whole plate

No processed snacks. No junk. Just real food that actually fuels him for whatever comes next.

The best part? He asks for it. A kid who chooses steak and fruit over chips is a win I will never take for granted. 😂

Fresh Additions Beef Bites are available at Costco in convenient multi-packs — grab them on your next run and build your own version of this plate.

💬 Drop a 🙋‍♀️ below if keeping real food on hand for your kids is basically your full time job!

The supplement I wish I’d started taking years ago — and it’s not what you think.

If you’re eating well but still dealing with energy crashes, blood sugar swings, or a sluggish gut, this might be the missing piece.

Acacia fiber is a soluble prebiotic fiber that does three things I care deeply about:

✔️ Slows glucose absorption so your blood sugar stays stable — no spike, no crash.

✔️ Feeds the beneficial bacteria in your gut that regulate your metabolism and insulin response.

✔️ Dissolves completely clear with zero taste and zero bloating — the fiber that finally doesn’t punish you for taking it.

Most of us are getting a fraction of the fiber we actually need every day. This is one of the simplest, most evidence-backed ways to change that. One teaspoon in your water, coffee, or smoothie. That’s it.

The brand I use and trust is Sari Foods — one ingredient, non-GMO, and exactly what it says it is. No fillers, no junk.
