Do you watch the Pioneer Woman on the Food Network?

I’m an avid fan of all things Pioneer Woman. So when Walmart asked me to showcase some of Ree’s products and include a recipe I was excited to get started! I went immediately to my local Walmart to see her awesome collection of kitchen products and I was not disappointed.

I’ve loved Ree Drummond since I first started seeing her show. I knew of her blog before the show of course but I loved her even more when I found out she was a fellow home-school momma like me. Her blog and recipes and my blog and content have nothing to do with the other in any way. But the common ground is she is a momma like me with a busy family and they need to eat, all the time it seems, especially when a family has teens in it.

This common ground is why I love her. She finds way to make life easier with her recipes and enjoy her family as well. I actually met her at the BlogHerFood conference last year in Miami, I was like a giddy little girl! She was so kind and so tall! Check out this funny picture of us on Instagram!

Many of her recipes are not ones that I can enjoy on a low carb sugar free diet, but the process behind those recipes is the key. Make it fast and make it tasty.

And that is exactly what this recipes does.

I had no idea what I would make for this recipe as I was drooling over all the pretty products, trying to hold back to urge to put everything in my cart. I love the colors here and since it’s fall I thought these red  plates were so appealing.

I also found cute little stacking bowls that double as measuring cups!

Isn’t that awesome!

My kids easily can measure out things and pour them in a recipe for me.

And that’s exactly what I had my daughter do for me while I was preparing other things and getting ready to take photos.

But when I saw these pretty glasses I knew the recipe I would make must go in them!

And there you have it. An easy breakfast or snack filled with protein, low in carbs and no added sugar! I think this recipe is a Pioneer Woman Winner!

Creamy, chocolatey, full of protein, dairy free and low in carbs! Easy to make ahead, refrigerate or freeze for an easy grab-n- go breakfast!

This whole partnering with Silk this year has really brought about some wonderful changes in not only myself but my kids! My complete desire when I first began working with Silk in their #inspired campaign was to get my kids more independent in the kitchen. Less relying on me and more ready to take charge of their own hunger. So far it has worked like a charm!

I’ve been sitting pretty watching my kids take action in the kitchen. I simply supervised and they created recipes with ingredients they love.

May Recipe made by my 12 year old daugther: Low Carb Sugar Free Peanut Butter Cheesecake Ice Cream!!

June Recipe made by by 15 year old son: Low Carb Pepperoni Pizza Egg Muffins

July Recipe made by my daughter: Low Carb Cherry Coconut Popsicles

My youngest was feeling a little left out and informed me of such. SO this month the 9 year old, my littlest man is the star and created his own version of smoothie yumminess!

Easy peasy for him!

I’d like to tell you he waited patiently for me to take these photos for this post but as you can see from this pic above, he was stalking me.This kid was excited to try his masterpeice. Luckily I got to enjoy the other one! Next time we’ll just double the recipe so we can freeze or refrigerate a couple!

And DONE! He needed a sip and and could wait no longer, caught him in the act when he thought I wasn’t looking!

Can’t beat a healthy smoothie full of protein that tastes like a sinful dessert!

He did so well I’m feeling #inspired to let him do some heat cooking next time!
