25 Sweet, Simple Vegan Treats Kids will Love

A Better Life Lived Posted on November 13 by About KiraFebruary 12
Vegans treats don't have to be complicated or hard to find! Great guide for grandparents that want to spoil their vegan grandkids but don't know how!

I try to feed my kid healthy foods. Really, I do. I try to limit junk food as much as possible. Candy, cookies, cakes, and chips are not often consumed in our house. At least, not by Zach, and not when he’s awake. I mean who among us hasn’t raided the ice cream the second the kids are in bed? I cannot be alone in this. The main reason we eat healthy at home is that I want Zach to learn good habits. I don’t want him addicted to sugar like I am. I don’t want him struggling with food addiction, weight problems, or the diseases linked to a poor diet. That’s why we try to stick to sweet healthy … More…

A Better Life Lived Posted on September 25 by About KiraFebruary 12
Awesome healthy snacks! Love that these are sweet enough to kick cravings for junk food!

If you’re anything like me, by 7 o’clock on a Friday night, you’re searching the pantry for something sweet. Getting ready to watch your favorite show or a movie makes that craving pop-up that only ice cream, chocolate, or a delicious pastry can conquer. But you’re trying to better yourself and make healthy choices. Unfortunately, none of those are on the healthy snack list. Now you have that crucial decision: do you forfeit your healthy goals for the night in acceptance of a delicious treat?

10 Healthy Toddler Approved Snacks for the Whole Family!

A Better Life Lived Posted on September 30 by About KiraSeptember 20
Healthy, toddler approved snacks for the whole family!

Here we are at our final day of toddler approved meals! Today isn’t about actual “meals” but rather healthy, toddler approved snacks. Since we’re always on the go, snacks are a critical part of our day. Little toddler bellies don’t always hold very much and the several hours between meals is just too long for them. As such, we always have snacks on hand for him while we’re out and about. Snacks aren’t just important for him. Since we’re trying to eat healthier, stopping for snacks or fast food is just not a good option. In addition to the health factor, it’s much more costly to stop for snacks. So I like to always try to make sure I have … More…

10 Healthy Toddler Approved Breakfast for the Whole Family!

A Better Life Lived Posted on September 29 by About KiraSeptember 20
healthy toddler approved breakfasts for the whole family!

On to round three of healthy, toddler approved meals! So far we’ve covered dinner and lunch. While those are definitely the more complicated meals, finding a toddler approved breakfast can sometimes be a challenge too. Eggs are pretty much my go-to breakfast food for myself and it works for Zach, too. Still, I felt like I needed to expand his horizons. I want him to continue to be adventurous with food and willing to try new things. If I don’t continue offering up new options, he’ll lose that willingness to try. Breakfast is difficult in its own right because there is a small group of foods that are generally thought of as breakfast. Toast, eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, oatmeal. That pretty … More…

10 Healthy Toddler Approved Lunch Meals for the Whole Family!

A Better Life Lived Posted on September 28 by About KiraSeptember 20
healthy toddler approved lunches for the whole family!

Welcome back! It’s time for round two of healthy, toddler approved meals. Yesterday was all about dinner. Today we’re going to talk toddler approved lunch. I don’t know about you, but when I’m home with Zachary or packing lunch for work, we never eat the same thing. I prepare a bunch of stuff in advance for him and then scarf something down myself. Usually, I don’t eat until after he’s done. That way, I can use the time while he’s eating to do some quick dishes or other tasks in the kitchen. More often than not, it’s some kind of sandwich, salad or frozen pizza, none of which he can have. Sometimes, I only grab a handful of crackers or … More…

10 Healthy Toddler Approved Dinner Meals for the Whole Family!

A Better Life Lived Posted on September 27 by About KiraSeptember 20
healthy toddler approved dinners for the whole family!

Having a toddler is difficult; they’re messy, chaotic, super-active, fussy, and picky. This is especially true at meal time. It’s hard enough making sure that the food winds up in their mouths and not on the floor, in their hair, or fed to the dog. But it’s even harder to make two separate meals; one for them and one for the older members of the family. And finding toddler approved dinner, lunch, or breakfast can be a challenge for sure. That’s why this series is going to go over some of our favorite toddler approved meals, and we’re starting with dinner! It’s time to eat together! In our house, we make sure that we create healthy, meals that the entire … More…
