Easter Holiday: Put Some Healthy Goodies in Easter Baskets
Talking about Easter baskets is a good place to start when discussing having a healthier Easter. This tends to be where a lot of people offer their children unhealthier options. It is also one of the more popular traditions for this holiday. If you want your kids to enjoy their baskets but without sugar-laden sweets, there are some super fun and easy options! Why You Should Limit These Sugary Treats First, let’s go over the nutritional content of some of the more popular candy options for Easter baskets. You may not include all of these, but it is good to have a summary of how much sugar, fat, and calories…

How are you dealing with all of the stress and weirdness going on right now? I hope you have all of the support tha tyou need during this trying time.

Chicken Cordon Bleu with Creamy Butter Sauce
It’s National Chicken Cordon Bleu Day! Did you know that most people (me included) thought that this dish was French? It actually originated in Switzerland. The Swiss need to reclaim their recipe — the French are getting all the credit! As a child, my mother served frozen versions of this dish.

So making too many of those is a bad idea right now. Along the lines of chocolate (yum!) — today is National Chocolate Mousse Day! I have an easy mousse recipe on the blog today. These mousse cups are creamy and light and quite…
