Dad's Nacho Sprinkle - Cheezy Vegan Topping

Somehow, when it comes to food, my husband, the vegan top chef wannabe always seems to take something someone else made and do it better. Pancakes for example. Mine may be healthier, but his are fluffier and are a bigger hit with the kids. Now this. He took Grandma's Spaghetti Sprinkle recipe, which we all like, made it nacho and now there's cheeze topping going on everything!

We've already used Dad's Nacho Sprinkle it on our Vegan Sunflower Mac n Cheese, stuffed shells, on beans and rice... I thought it would be a great thing to share if you are looking to add a healthy smoky cheesiness to your favorite plant based or kid-friendly dish!

Is the Honest Company Vegan? Plus BIG Savings Promo Codes

Honest Essential Bundle items

We have always gotten a lot of our baby, cleaning, and now even health and beauty from The Honest Company. They have always been committed to using the safest and best ingredients for people and the environment. I've also found that it's a helluva lot easier set up a recurring bundle with them so I don't really have to worry about wasting time shopping for any of the stuff they carry, and they are constantly improving their products and addressing issues, so I have always felt safe using them for me and my family. The best part is that we know their products are NOT tested on animals!

Visiting the Carlsbad Tide Pools

One of our favorite things to do in Southern California is to visit tide pools. It is such an easy and fun way for kids to see wildlife in their natural habitat without having to go to an aquarium or zoo. Snails, urchins, anemones, and other sea creatures get trapped in pools on a rocky shore when the tide is low. We have some beautiful tide pools that are great for visiting year round, right here in Carlsabad. We'll help you find this low-traffic hidden treasure.

Little Mermaid Baby Room Ideas

The Little Mermaid Crib Set on Amazon.com (affiliate link)

Mermaids are so popular right now. From mermaid tail blankets to mermaid pillows and all those lvoeley jewel toned hues of blues, lavenders, purple and pinks. We think a mermaid theme would be perfect for a baby room and we have a bunch of beachy and beautiful blankets, cribs, and decorations that will look gorgeous in a little girl's room.

25 Easy Healthy Plant Based Meals - Our Vegan in Japan Family Meal Plan

I thought it would be fun to share our meal plan from when we lived in Nagoya, Japan. Not only is this a relatively simple vegan family meal plan, it is healthy, and can potentially, give or take an ingredient here and there, be made anywhere in the world. For anyone vegan, moving, living, or traveling in Nagoya this post will also help you with finding some of the vegan food that is available there.

GOOD Toys that fit in Easter Eggs 2018 (No Junk!)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Theme Thomas Minis

We've got Easter coming up and our little plastic eggs ready! Every year, no matter where we are, we do an egg hunt. We got Easter Sunday, parties and playdates coming so we need toys but not just any toys... we want GOOD toys that fit in Easter eggs. We don't want junk. We'd rather buy a few good toys and fill the rest of the eggs with money and candy than do toys that will end up in a landfill. These are all of our favorite GOOD small toys for Easter Eggs this year.

Cirque du Soleil LUZIA Review and Discount Code

It was just about time for a date night when we received complimentary tickets to LUZIA by Cirque du Soleil. Squeezed in between our daughters third Birthday and a house guest arriving, Hubs and I got our kids over to the grandparents and headed up the the OC Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa where LUZIA has landed its big top for a short time. I'm so glad we worked it in. The show did not disappoint and if you are a Southern California local or visitor, we have a 30% off for you for an amazing deal on this limited time event.

Choice Vegan Restaurant - Vegan Food in Kyoto

This post is a little bit retro, as I visited Choice vegan and gluten free restaurant in Kyoto last year, but I checked up on the menu and it is still valid. Plus, I need it on our Vegan Japan Travel page because of its amazing homemade plant-based cheese.
