    • Need a delicious one-pot meal made with mostly pantry staples? Heck yeah you do! πŸ™ŒπŸ» This One-Pot Pasta e Ceci (Italian for Pasta and Chickpeas) is a staple of ours that I've been making for years. Years! β € β € I love it because It's packed with plant-based protein, veggies, and pasta. Not to mention the kids love it, making it rarely requires a trip to the grocery store, and it reheats like a dream. πŸ²πŸ™Œ β € β € File this one under one-pot wonders you gotta try and head to the blog or DM me for the recipe πŸ‘‰@modminimalism. β € β€’β€’β€’β € #modernminimalism #minimalistmeals #simplefamilymeals #kidfriendly #chickpeas #dinnerrecipe #pastarecipe #healthyrecipe #healthydinnerrecipe #instayum #nomnom #eeeeeats #forkyeah #f52grams #feedfeed #mealprep #mealplanning #easyrecipes #simplifying #healthyfood #foodprep #makeahead #onepotmeal #onepotpasta #onepotmeals #vegan #vegetarian #eggfree #noaddedsugar #meatlessmonday
    • How many laundry hampers do you own? Drop the number in a comment before you read any further. πŸ‘‡πŸ™ƒβ € β € We own two, but we don't use them β€” our guests do! Why? Because over the years I realized hampers only hide dirty clothes. More hampers = more piles of dirty clothes = more laundry overwhelm. πŸ‘–πŸ‘•πŸ˜±β € β € Where do we put our dirty clothes at the end of the day? In one of two laundry baskets that live on top of the washer: one for lights and one for darks. When a basket gets full, a load goes in β€” and because it's only one load, it's usually folded and put away before bed!β € β € If you dread those piles of dirty clothes, hide your hampers for a week and try my two-basket method instead. You've got nothing to lose except laundry overwhelm. πŸ₯°β € β€’β€’β€’β € #modernminimalism #lessismore #laundry #laundrytips #minimalist #minimalism #minimalismwithkids #mamahood #minimalistmama #minimal #simplify
    • Where my mac 'n cheese lovers at? πŸ™‹πŸ§€ β € This 20-minute One-Pot Cauliflower Mac & Cheese is silky, creamy, healthy-ish and my-oh-my is it satisfying.

    • Double tap if you've ever bought more bananas than you could possibly eat just to have an excuse to make banana bread! πŸŒπŸ™‹β € β € Moist and dense in the best way, and made only from wholesome, real-food ingredients, this luscious loaf is loaded with overripe bananas and ZERO added sugar. It's perfectly sweet and honestly divine with chocolate chips or smeared with a little butter and honey. πŸ˜‹πŸ―β € β € The next time you're at the store grab an extra bunch of 'nanas, forget about them for a week or so, and make this Healthy No Added Sugar Banana Bread! Recipe is on the blog β€” just tap the link in my profile @modminimalism, or DM me and I'll send it right to ya!β € β€’β€’β€’β € #modernminimalism #dairyfree #soyfree #noaddedsugar #minimalistmeals #simplefamilymeals #kidfriendlysnack #kidfriendly #bananarecipe #snackrecipe #bananabread #healthyrecipe #eatingfortheinsta #healthydinnerrecipe #instayum #nomnom #eeeeeats #forkyeah #f52grams #feedfeed @thefeedfeed #goodeats #easyrecipes #healthyfood #foodprep #breakfastrecipe #healthybananabread #noaddedsugarrecipe
    • QUESTION: When was the last time you kissed your significant other? πŸ˜šπŸ‘‡Tell me.β € β € I came across this sweet photo of our crew on my phone today and realized it's been at least a week since the hubs and I last smooched. πŸ˜­β € β € BOTH our littles came down with pneumonia last week and, if I can be honest, things got tense between the hubs and I at times. Don't get me wrong, we make a great team, but a week of clingy toddlers, high fevers, sleepless nights, cancelled plans, breathing treatments, and round-the-clock nurse duty has left us both tired and short-tempered.β € β € The demands of parenthood can be so all-consuming, some days you've just got nothing left to give. But I'm learning that to be the our best, we need to nourish ourselves and our marriage, too. Because if we're strong as a couple, we're better able to show up for each other AND our little ones.β € β € So now that the kids are on the upswing, we're texting our sitters and planning a good ol' fashioned date this weekend. πŸ₯°πŸ˜šπŸ™Œβ € β € The hubs is happy to see a movie but I kinda want to be social after our week in confinement β€” ha! So send me your fun date ideas if you've got any. πŸ˜‰πŸ€—β € β€’β€’β€’β € #motherhoodsimplified #motherhoodinspired #thisismotherhood #momentsinmotherhood #motherhoodmoments #motherhoodintheraw #mamalife #toddlermom #parentlife #parentinglife #parentsandpartners #marriage
