I worked at Starbucks when I was 16 up until I was 18. Two years of making drinks and I still couldn't find a coffee drink that I actually liked. I love refreshers and teas and now that I have a toddler, caffeine is my best friend! I drink energy drinks, but sometimes I need something else to perk me up.The energy drink recommendations are some that I constantly have in my mini-fridge. Flrt is a new favorite of mine. They aren't too sweet, but they aren't oddly bitter like some energy drinks I have tried. Some are cleaner than others, I drink a ton of water throughout the day too!Non-energy drink recommendations are mainly teas/derived from tea or functional sodas. Starbucks refreshers that you can make at home have been a game changer for me. I save money and can make my drink exactly how I like it. Coconut milk, lemonade, water, sparkling water. So many different uses for it. I also love matcha lattes and london fog lattes.

✨ My pantry is stocked with all the clean-eating staples that make everyday meals simple, balanced, and nourishing>>>think whole grains, nut butters, canned beans, spices, and easy grab-and-go snacks.

Restaurants, take-out, fast food places that my family and I like.. I will also share some recommendations on drinks such as shakes and smoothies, and sweets, cakes, deserts and more.

“To ‘put by’ is an old, deep southern way of saying to ‘save something you don’t need now, for the time when you will need it.’ Preserving fresh food by canning, freezing, or dehydrating is a fantastic way to enjoy fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables throughout the year. It can undoubtedly be a healthier alternative to commercially available products and a more cost-effective way to feed your family. I find great pleasure in knowing that I have a delicious product made entirely from “scratch.” Every food has an optimal way of preserving it. Much of that depends on your personal preference for consuming each food. For example, berries can be canned as jam or syrup, made into juice, dried into leather or slices, or frozen in bulk.
