Our 2024 Family Holiday Cards


Postable Holiday Cards

Three things about me and holiday cards: 

1. I have never gotten rid of a holiday card sent to me. I keep telling myself one day I’ll make something cool out of them. (We all know that’s never gonna happen.)

2. I have sent holiday cards every single year since I was a teen. 

3. For the past *decade* (yep, 10 full years), I have chosen company Postable for my holiday cards! (Pssst… Discount code below!)

You've heard me go on about Postable before (I mean like I said, it’s been a decade long relationship at this point), and just like in years part, I want to make sure you know you know that this isn't a paid review. It's a trade. The give me the best cards ever and I share my thoughts about them with all of you. The truth is that I would 100% order from them regardless. They had an incredible selection of stylish, cool, fun, top quality cards that are easy to customize. They’re 100% post-consumer recycled and/or tree-free 100%. But the thing that really sets them apart is the fact that they do all the work for you: they print your cards, they stuff the envelopes, they address them, they stamp them, and they mail them all for you. They are simply the best!

You’ll be glad you did - this holiday card lover promises.

Pumpkin Pie Protein Shake


Pumpkin Pie Protein Shake

One thing about me: I will never turn down pumpkin pie. I don't care how full I am. I don't care what time of year (or day) it is. I will eat it. I've also been trying to increase my daily protein intake, so when I decided to try to create an easy, quick protein shake that tasted like pumpkin pie, and it actually worked, I was beyond excited. 

This pumpkin pie shake not only tastes delicious, it contains 20g of protein! If you leave off the whipped cream, it is also completely vegan/plant-based. Did I mention it takes 2-3 minutes to make? Scroll down for recipe!

Pumpkin Pie Protein Shake

Pumpkin Pie Protein Shake

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
2 scoops Pumpkin Spice Naked Shake vegan protein powder
1 cup almond or oat milk
1 tablespoon almond butter
1/2 tablespoon maple syrup 
6-8 ice cubes
whipped cream (optional)
cinnamon (optional)
 
Combine all ingredients in a blender. I like to drink it as it in the morning, but if you're looking for more of a dessert type beverage, top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

I use Pumpkin Spice Naked Shake vegan protein powder for this recipe because it's both delicious and full of protein - 20g of pea protein to be exact. It also contains MCT oil, cinnamon, fermented cane sugar, and natural plant-based flavors, with only 3g of sugar. It's a seasonal flavor, so make sure to grab some before it's sold out!

DIY Halloween Mini Pizzas


Halloween Themed Mini Veggie Pizzas
   
Halloween is over a month away, but it seems like these days it starts in August. I'm more of a summer girl, so I don't get in the Halloween spirit until October 1st, but I'm also a planner. And since I forsee making these adorable halloween mini pizzas with my kids several times this Halloween season, I thought I'd go ahead and share them now.

Halloween Themed Mini Veggie Pizzas

Halloween DIY Mini Pizzas
Serves 6

INGREDIENTS 
6 english muffins, halved
3 cups shredded cheese (cheddar and mozzarella)
1 slice provolone or mozzarella
1 cup pizza sauce (the plain old jar kind works just fine)
black olives
green olives
green pepper
pepperoni or veggie pepperoni pieces  


Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Placed halved english muffins cut side up on a baking sheet. Cover with pizza sauce. On 5 muffins, top with shredded cheese. On the remaining muffin, top with strips of the cheese slice, to look like a mummy. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cheese is melted. Use olives, green pepper slices, and pepperoni pieces to create jack-o-lanterns, spiders, mummies, and monsters!
