Not only are Roasted Peas and Edamame packed with nutrients but they are also SO YUMMY!
Plus, kids are easily help toss a bag of frozen peas with a little oil and salt/seasonings to make the crunchy snack.
Add a few handfuls to a snack mix or on the side of a snack plate. They are also great to pack up in lunches or for snacks on the go.
Have you tried these yet?? Let me know if you do!

A FUNfetti twist on a classic! This banana bread is a little bit healthier (to balance out some of the sprinkles) thanks to whole grains, yogurt, and just a little maple syrup.
Made in one bowl so it’s an easy one for kids to help bake!
Let me know if you give it a try!

I started this Instagram page 10 years ago!! Although a lot has changed, my goal of helping other parents and making food more fun are still the same.
I’m proud of that mother in the trenches. She wasn’t perfect but she did a lot of great things.
I hope you’ve learned something with us along the way.
Thank you for being here!

Banana Spinach Waffles…the perfect, easy way to get some veggies into the morning (or snack or lunch time!). No added sugar or sweetener so they are great for toddlers but grownups love them too!
These have lots of 5 star reviews on my site including:
“Just made these tonight—they were a huge hit! I was a bit skeptical about your recommendation to have my toddler personally add the spinach, but I went ahead with it. I was absolutely FLABBERGASTED when she happily ate something that she added handfuls of spinach to not 15 minutes earlier! I’ll definitely be making them again!” -Jenny
I like to tell kids it’s a magic trick because the waffles look bright green but you can’t taste the spinach at all!
…
Let me know if you give them a try! 😊💕

🫐 Comment LINK for the recipe!! This festive break 🫐 Comment LINK for the recipe!!
This festive breakfast couldn’t be easier to make! And kids can totally help with so much of it too!!
I like to use Challah, but any bread you have will work well and you can use whatever gluten-free bread you have to make the recipe gluten free too.
Don’t like or have blueberries? Use whatever berries or fruit you’d like.
It’s a perfect holiday breakfast but easy enough to make any day of the week.
Plus, I cut back the sugar a little so it doesn’t give everyone an immediate headache like a lot of sweet breakfast casseroles.
Let me know if you give the recipe a try!!
🎄Cinnamon Roll Christmas Tree Pops Simple, festive 🎄Cinnamon Roll Christmas Tree Pops
Simple, festive, and fun breakfast treat that kids can help make!
All you need is a can of cinnamon rolls, lollipop sticks, and sprinkles.
How to: unroll the cinnamon roll and reconfigure into a tree shape (see video).
Place a lollipop through the center. You can make a little cut with a tip of a knife if you are having trouble putting the stick through.
Bake according to package instructions, checking to see when the rolls are golden brown.
Let them cool for a few minutes then squeeze on icing and sprinkle with festive sprinkles.
Send me a picture if you make them!! ❤️
