I’ve been spending some time trying to understand how my body reacts to different foods and because my glucose levels have been slightly elevated, I’m trying a healthier carb diet this week to see how my body responds.
Healthier Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake
My family loves a good pound cake but they are loaded with fat and sugar, so I limit how often I either make or have them in the house. My kids love to have a piece at night or grab one as they are heading out the door in the morning so I’ve been on the hunt for a healthier version. And I’ve found it!

Tomorrow both kids start school and life becomes a bit more chaotic while we all settle into our new schedules. With both kids at the same school this year, and my daughter driving, our mornings just got a bit easier. Our afternoons? Not so much. With the start of school comes the start of fall sports and extracurriculars. So from football to soccer to theater and more, we’ll all be working through the new schedule and working out when/how homework gets done and what time we’ll have dinner (we eat dinner as a family every night). So with that in mind, dinner this week is incredibly easy. Nothing fancy. Nothing requiring significant prep, shopping, or new cooking methods. Because when life is busy, the last thing you need is a stressful dinner.

Dinners this week are super simple, tried and true, crowd pleasers. So whether, like us, you’re expecting a few extra people for dinner as the kids soak up the final days or it’s a more intimate group, these recipes won’t steer you wrong.

The first week of August things ramp up in our house. We’re two weeks away from the start of school, summer programs are wrapping up, sports seasons are kicking in, and the dreaded summer homework is done. We’re savoring these final weeks of staying up late, sleeping in, and swimming all day. As always, dinners need to be quick and easy, and focus on the best fruits and veggies of the season.

We’re in the homestretch! I cannot believe we’re in the final week of July. It seems like summer just started but here we are, thinking about back-to-school and starting those pesky summer homework assignments. This week my meal plan focuses on the fresh fruits and vegetables of summer, and includes a healthier version of one of my favorite comfort foods.
