actual photo of what our “mommy and me” cheese & cracker plates look like these days ‍‍, featuring @simplemills NEW Organic Seed Flour Crackers, clemies (what my kids call clementines) and some sliiiightly spicy pepperjack cheese 🌶️ 🧀⁣
 ⁣
with this twin pregnancy, I’ve been craving cheese and crackers, and I always like to have snacks with my kids at least once a day (as a break from work.) to make it a little interactive, I have Luca match up the shapes with the cut-outs and then he likes to put the shapes back on his cracker plate. it’s okay to play with your food sometimes, right?  anyway, this is the trick that got Luca eating the cheese & cracker combo, actually! 👏🏼⁣
⁣
I love having cheese with these Seed Flour crackers, because they’re nutrient-dense, made from flax, sunflower, and pumpkin seeds, and hold up to cheese much better. They’re the PERFECT light & flaky topping cracker! I loooove them topped with tuna salad and a thinly sliced cucumber, too. 🥒⁣

double tap if you love a good fruit salad. ❤️❤️ now, let's talk fruit salad. it's always there. it's kind of the afterthought when you throw together a brunch, right? like a toss-whatever-fruit-you-have-in-the-fridge kinda situation and call it a fruit salad. well, I have a life-changing fruit salad recipe for you, from the amazing @justataste and her new cookbook #SecretIngredientCookbook! ⁣🍋🍇🍓🫐🍈
⁣
her whole cookbook is based off of this concept of a secret ingredient that elevates each recipe. with this fruit salad, it's.... VANILLA EXTRACT. 🤯and you guys, I had no idea how much something so minor could make such a major difference, but here we are, with this epic fruit salad that I need you to make for the next brunch you host (bonus points if you bring this to your mother/mother-in-law/any mother on Mother's Day!) ⁣🌸🌺🌷💐
⁣
anyway, I know I seem way too excited about fruit salad, but I really am. and Lu almost walked in on me taking self-timer selfies of myself in the kitchen with a bowl of fruit, so there's that. is it Friday yet?⁣ 🥴

*GIVEAWAY* I'm giving away two copies of her new cookbook! to enter to win: ⁣

ROASTED SPRING VEGGIE QUINOA BOWL with ROASTED CHICKPEAS 🌱 I know I say this, but... this is my new favorite lunch!! ⁣😜
⁣
I think I've lost my credibility with using the word "favorite," because I fall easily (and I fall hard!) for grain bowls! but seriously, this easy roasted veggie bowl uses spring produce (asparagus, green beans, and arugula) with hearty roasted chickpeas, toasted almonds, quinoa, and a pre-made vegan goddess dressing for an insanely flavorful plant powered meal you'll want to make over and over again! ⁣👏🏼🙌🏼
⁣
and I have to say, once I ended the self guilt over using pre-made bottled sauces and dressings (instead of making them from scratch every time), my life got a LOT easier, and I'd even venture to say better! ⁣👀
