These 14 easy-to-make snack boxes will keep you inspired for weeks. I tend to have 2 methods for packing snacks healthy snacks for my kids. Method 1 Happens 5 minutes after we are supposed to leave for a playdate and I am frantically opening my cabinets and fridge and pulling out anything that can be categorized as a snack into an oversized tote that I double as a cooler. Sometimes healthy snacks get tossed in, but most of the time it's a variety of opened boxes of crackers, a rotten apple and a bunch of string cheese. It's pretty much a hot mess. Method 2 When I take all of 3 minutes and prepare a snack box for my toddler. The snack box has 3-4 simple and healthy snacks that fit right into pre-portioned sections that are colorful and appealing to the eye. I had this small bento box already, but this system ...
32 Healthy Toddler Lunch and Dinner Ideas
Let's just call this post what it really is - What the Kiddos Ate for October, November and December! 3 months all wrapped up into 1 pretty post, yourwelcomeverymuch! Someone is slacking off on these posts 🙋🏻🙋🏻🙋🏻 There are 2 (not-so-good) reasons why... 1) since October, my family has been having a blast playing this game I like to call - 'tag you're it, now prepare to die'. Not dramatic at all over here! All you have to do to play this game is have one person in the family get sick and then just take turns passing it around to each other. You get double points if you pass it around twice! We started with the stomach bug (two rounds each = double points), then came the cold (single points) and now we are onto croup (single points). Which if your little one has ever had croup, then you know that thing is bat-shit-crazy! I have spent waaaaayyyyyyy too much time outside in my pjs at 3am with a coughing toddler then I can even comprehend right now. 2) I decided to workout. I went to ...
Apple-Pecan Crisp [plus a GIVAWAY!]
This Apple-Pecan Crisp is bubbling over with spiced tender apples swimming in a caramel sauce all topped with a thick layer of crispy oat and pecan crust. Serve with a dollop of coconut whipped cream or vanilla bean ice cream for a health(ish) family dessert. I am going to go ahead and warn you that this recipe is good, like REALLY GOOD! So good, that it is my professional recommendation that you make this delicious apple-pecan crisp when no one else is around. Not that you won't share the remaining half of the crisp with the other little mouths in your house. Pssh... we are not that mean. They will get their turn. But the first warm bite of warm spiced apples oozing with just enough caramely richness and topped with a thick layer of crispy-crunchy oat and pecan crust - that my friends is all yours. This coveted first bite can happen in the morning with a strong cup of coffee, at lunch with a drizzle of vanilla yogurt on top, or probably more socially acceptable served ...
Cheesy Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken
This Cheesy Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken is a flavorful way to spice up your family's weekday dinner. This recipe is super easy and calls for a simple 5-ingreident salsa, chicken and of course some cheese, all tossed together and cooked while you are at work or wrangling the kiddos. The hardest part, is deciding how to eat it. Don't worry, I included some of my favorites down below. Well hello there big ol' pile of shredded chicken. I probably should have jazzed you up with the perfect sprinkle of cheese or cilantro on top, but this chicken isn't fussy. It doesn't want to play those pinterest worthy games. The only game this chicken wants to play is how can it get into your mouth in the fastest way possible. And in as many ways as possible. It wants to be devoured by you and your little ones. It's goals are that simple. Is it weird that I am talking about a chicken dish like it actually has goals and feelings??? Yup. Okay then, let's switch it around. The only goal I ...
