We are finally turning a corner with Mazen and his relationship with vegetables. Our newest addition: zucchini! Like most kids, Mazen loves pizza, especially pepperoni, so I turned zucchini into a platform for pizza topping delivery.

But the real secret here was getting him involved. What they say about getting kids to participate in the grocery shopping and cooking processes is so true! Whether it’s helping me to pick lettuce from the garden or sprinkling pizza toppings, the more involved he is, the more likely he will be to eat the dish.

You know what else he loves!? Picking out his gummy vitamins! We LOVE Olly in our house after the blog introduction last year. He gets the Olly Kids Multi Vitamin each day, and you can imagine his excitement when I shared the four new Olly Kids Vitamin Boosts with him. He gets to pick one extra gummy out each day, and we rotate through the bunch.

So while you’re finishing chewing your gummy, I’ll tell you more about these pizza bites! We made them two ways – rounds for him, boats for me!

For the coins, I sliced them thick enough that they would hold the pepperoni and cheese without falling apart. For the boats, I scooped out the seeds from the middle to create a trough.

Mazen loved being in charge of the ingredients!

First the sauce:

Then Italian seasoning:

Then pepperoni:

And finally, cheese!

We baked them for about 15 minutes at 350 degrees, until the cheese was melty and the zucchini soft.

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
