Back to School: Last Summer Getaway with the Big Kids

Shared by Leave a comment

Disclosure: Dollywood provided my family with two tickets to Dollywood and Splash Country. All opinions and text are my own.

 

We have a huge gap in our kids’ ages with our oldest two being 14 and 12 while our little ones are 3 and 20 months old. Typically, we vacation as a family, but my in-laws just moved to town, so we thought we would plan a fun getaway with just the big kids while they kept the little girls for us. Although our little girls would enjoy the trip too, we wanted to be able to invest special time with our big kids since they are growing so quickly before school started back.

Pigeon Forge has been one of our absolute most favorite quick vacation destinations for as long as I can remember. In fact, my family used to travel there when I was a little girl. Since we only live about an hour and forty-five minutes away we take quick getaways to Pigeon Forge as often as we can. Our family especially loves Dollywood and Splash Country. Since our big kids’ youth group was planning a trip to Splash Country and my husband and I are youth workers, we decided to plan our getaway so that we could meet our youth group at Splash Country after we went to Dollywood. continue reading…

Back to School Printable Signs

Even though we’ve always homeschooled our kids, we attend a local Cassical Conversations Community each week. To document that we are officially back in school, I love embarrasing my kids with “my first day of school” signs every year. It’s such a great way to capture a specific moment in time so we can look back and see how much they change from year to year. continue reading…

Top Low Carb Foods at Dollywood

Shared by 1 Comment

Disclosure: This post was underwritten by Dollywood. All opinions and text are my own.

Following a low carb or keto diet doesn’t have to be hard even at theme parks. Knowing what foods are low carb is the first step in making good food choices. Typically, you can find some kind of low carb foods just about anywhere, and Dollywood is no exception. This quick list of top low carb foods at Dollywood is a fantastic resource.

Low Carb Foods at Dollywood

While many people look forward to the variety of foods at theme parks, if you are following a low carb diet, many of those tempting food options aren’t on your eating plan. It isn’t easy to turn down foods, especially at a theme park like Dollywood with their incredible homemade cinnamon bread, kettle corn, and baked goods. However, if you know ahead of time what foods are low carb, it isn’t impossible. On a recent trip to Dollywood with our big kids on our annual back to school getaway, I made a note of some of the low carb foods.

In this post, I’ll share several low carb food options at Dollywood around the park. While it isn’t a comprehensive list as I didn’t visit every eatery, it provides a general overview of the top foods at Dollywood that are low carb for those following a low carb or keto lifestyle. continue reading…

These Hot Ham Roll-Ups with Cheese are a perfect snack or meal. They come together fast and easy and make following the keto diet so much easier to manage. I love how versatile they are, and I know you will too!

EASY HOT HAM ROLL UPS WITH CHEESE

As a homeschooling momma of four, I like really simple and fast lunches. While I usually prefer leftovers for a convenient lunch, as my family has grown larger, we don’t always have enough left the next day for all of us. So, oftentimes I need a quick lunch that fits in our keto lifestyle.

When I want something hot, these Hot Ham Roll-Ups with your choice of cheese make a delicious lunch and are very low carb. I use a smoked deli ham and wrap it around a mozzarella cheese stick (depending on the size of the ham, I may cut the cheese stick in half). Then, I fry it in a skillet in butter for a few minutes. It’s super easy and a nice change from plain deli meat and cheese and completely keto-friendly.

Mouthwatering Strawberry Low Carb Bread

Some mornings call for a slice of bread. But it can be difficult to find good-tasting keto recipes for bread. This moist and delicious Strawberry Low Carb Bread with homemade icing can be served at breakfast or as a sweet treat.

STRAWBERRY LOW CARB BREAD RECIPE

I’ve loved strawberries since I was a little girl barefoot in my grandparent’s garden, carefully picking the best strawberries for my grandmother’s homemade six-layer strawberry shortcake. That cake was always the star of the show at every family gathering, and it’s one I had never forgotten even though my grandmother passed away when I was in high school. Since saying goodbye to sugar and embarking on a low carb lifestyle, I thought I’d make a Strawberry Low Carb Bread Recipe with a delicious homemade icing in honor of my grandmother, who nurtured my love of cooking from a very young age.

HOW TO MAKE KETO SAUSAGE AND EGG CASSEROLE

I love an easy breakfast casserole I can make ahead at the beginning of the week that covers several days for us. Having breakfast already prepared makes mornings so much easier plus, there is little mess to clean, which is always a plus. All I have to do is pop a serving in the microwave, and breakfast for my kids is made.

As a homeschool momma, I’d rather spend less time at breakfast and finish our day a few minutes earlier in the afternoon. My hubby can grab a serving to enjoy before he leaves for work in the morning.

KETO BREAKFAST BAKE

Mornings can be a bit of a tough and chaotic time in everyone’s home. If you stop and think about everything that happens at that time, it can be downright tiring! From getting ready for school (or homeschool like us) or work to getting everyone dressed and ready and then making certain that you’re finding a way to get something healthy in everyone’s tummy…that’s a lot to handle at once!

This is why I love this low carb breakfast bake so much. First, it keeps us on track with our healthy lifestyle while filling our bodies with great fuel to keep us satisfied. I can make this ahead of time the night before and pop it in the oven to bake in the morning so that it is ready when my hubby and kids come downstairs for breakfast.

This Keto Breakfast Bake is one of my new breakfast favorites. Whenever I can plan and get a bit of a “jump-start” on my day, I’m in 100%. Plus, it’s nice to start the day with a low carb option that is only one carb per serving.

Wolf Gourmet Mixer and Stand

Wolf Gourmet Stand Mixer
Mix birthday cake batter, knead brioche dough, whip up meringues and souffles – that’s just the beginning of the culinary versatility you will experience with the Wolf Gourmet high-performance stand mixer. This kitchen companion has the torque and capacity to make it all – and a lot of it. The robust motor and gearing system maintain constant speed and power even while mixing heavy doughs, while the 7-quart professional-grade bowl can fit enough batter for up to 14 dozen cookies or eight pounds of dough at a time. Unique design features, like the proprietary bowl lift and simplified mixing attachment area, offer a truly seamless mixing experience from start to finish. The sleek design and brushed stainless steel construction will look just as good on your kitchen counters as the fresh-baked treats you will concoct.

Superior Mixing Performance
The robust motor and gearing system maintains constant speed and power even while mixing dense, heavy bread doughs.

Unique Bowl Lift
The proprietary design provides effortless bowl adjustment and optimum stability. An easy turn of the handle lifts the bowl up and locks it into the mixing position.

Greater Control Over Mixing Speed
The variable infinite speed dial provides precision control for every recipe. Use the Pulse function to gently incorporate ingredients into your mixture.

Specialty Attachment Area
Add food processing versatility, such as meat grinding, with specialty attachments (sold separately). The simplified magnetized attachment cover and locking system make switching between attachments practically effortless.

Professional-Grade 7-Quart Bowl
The stainless steel bowl is large enough to mix dough for your favorite cookie recipe, trays of fresh foccacia, or pans of birthday cake batter. The large handle aids in transporting heavy batches.

Includes Accessories
A flat beater, whisk, and dough hook are included, so you can take on any culinary endeavor right away. The splash/pouring shield helps prevent splatters when mixing and adding ingredients. Change the look of your Wolf Gourmet stand mixer by changing the knob color.

Classic Stainless Steel
Brushed stainless steel and die-cast construction seamlessly complements Wolf cooking appliances.

Planetary Mixing Action
Two-way mixing action rotates the beater around the bowl for even and complete bowl coverage.

Roborock H6 Cordless Stick Vacuum 

Convenient & Versatile – The Roborock H6 beats competitors in weight, making it extremely easy to use. Because of its low weight (just 3 pounds) it can be lifted with ease for use on the ceiling to fight those hard-to-reach dust conventions, for example.

The H6 has a longer battery life than its main competitors. It can run for 90 minutes in Eco Mode (as compared to competitors at 40-80 minutes), and for 45 minutes in Standard Mode (as compared to competitors at 30 minutes). Max Mode sees a run time of 10 minutes (competitors range from 5-10 minutes). More, to address a common consumer pain point of lost power after years of use, the H6 retains suction power, it is able to maintain 85% of its power after 600 charges.

Because of its lightweight and cordless design, and its higher-than-average battery life, the H6 itself is extremely versatile! For example, taking the H6 outdoors to clean the interior of a car is easy and effective.

As an added convenience, an OLED screen displays mode, amount of charge/time left, maintenance reminders and more.

Promotes Health – The Roborock H6 promotes health, as it captures 99.97% of particles, including pollen and dander, thanks in part to the high suction power of up to 150AW.

More, with a 5-layer filtration system, it also cleans the air as it vacuums the floor!

Innovation – Conveniences in the H6 come from the innovations built-in. The lengthy battery life is thanks to its LiPro battery (the same batteries used in drones – read, lightweight yet powerful). The H6 features the first LiPo battery to ever be used in a cordless stick vacuum. The model also features a unique regenerative braking system that turns unwanted motor movement into

Electricity, effectively recharging the battery while in use to further extend run-time.
