How do you simplify your life when it comes to nutrition and entertainment for your family?
As a Registered Dietitian, I believe less truly is more when it comes to nutrition. My motto I often share is “Eat like Grandma and Grandpa did”. I encourage using wholesome and natural ingredients to create simple and satisfying homemade meals and snacks.
When we get back to the basics of cooking a healthy diet can become something much more attainable to follow. Let me show you how with my delicious Blueberry Applesauce Bran Muffins.

3. Fold in fresh blueberries.
4. Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes. I checked at 12-15 minutes if done by placing a toothpick in the center of my muffins. If the toothpick is removed without batter attached it is done.
Makes about 3 dozen muffins.

This recipe is one, in exception to a few tweaks, I first enjoyed from a family friend and have been wanting to share with you all for some time! What I love about this recipe is how you can sneak in healthy fruits effortlessly. Blueberries are a powerhouse of antioxidants and the Mott’s Applesauce offers a wonderful source of vitamin C. The fiber contained is wonderful for your heart and digestive health.
It is important to teach our children to make smart food choices which encourages them to be healthy eaters in the future.
What I loved about getting the opportunity to partner with Mott’s Applesauce and 100% Mott’s Apple Juice is that they are promoting health simply as well as high quality family time by teaming up with The Secret Life of Pets!
