☃️🥕Yogurt Ranch Dip. Recipe below ⬇️ This creamy, ☃️🥕Yogurt Ranch Dip. Recipe below ⬇️ This creamy, healthy dip makes veggies disappear! It’s my go-to for snaking and lunches, but dress it up with some veggies and tortilla shapes, and it’s a perfect holiday party platter. I just made some today to bring to a party, so I thought I’d reshare the recipe for you to have on hand! Recipe: 2 1/2 cups plain, whole milk yogurt (you can replace 2 cup of yogurt with mayo for a more traditional tasting ranch dip) 1 Tbs lemon juice 1 tsp each onion powder, garlic powder, and kosher salt 2 tsp dried dill 1 tsp honey (optional) Add yogurt to a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and whisk to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve. ❄️For the snowman and homemade chips: tortillas (any kind), oil spray or vegetable oil, salt, baby carrots and other colorful veggies for dipping, and sliced black olives. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut out a hat and “stick” arms for your snowman. Use cookie cutters of your choice to cut out other shapes out of the tortillas. Lightly spray or brush the tortilla shapes with oil then sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Bake until crunchy and golden brown, about 5 minutes (watch carefully because they can burn quickly). Smooth dip in a shallow bowl. Add a baby carrot in the center the two ends of an olive as eyes, and a few olive slices to create a smile. Once your tortilla chips are cool and you are ready to serve the dip, place the hat on top and the arms at the sides. Serve with veggies, pretzels, crackers, and the extra tortilla chips. … 👨‍🍳👩‍🍳There are many parts of this recipe that would be so fun and easy for kids to get involved with: Kids can add the ingredients to the bowl, stir it up, decorate the top, and use their favorite cookie cutters to make the tortilla chips. … Are you on team no-more-boring-veggie-platters? 😊💕 . . #snowman #veggieplatter #veggietray #holidayparty #holidayfood #dip #funfood #funfoodforkids #cookingwithkids

🍕Comment LINK for the recipe!! Excited to share th 🍕Comment LINK for the recipe!! Excited to share this NEW snack idea with you…savory, protein filled muffins. Cottage cheese never tasted so good! They are also easy to make egg and gluten free if needed. I like to mix in a little chopped spinach but you can totally leave that out or add different veggies. Savory muffins are great for any pizza loving kid. Pack them up in a lunch or snack box or have them at home as an after school snack. I think they’d even be good as a breakfast on the go! Tip for baking with kids included in the blog post as always! Hope baking these ahead will make your December a little more manageable. Let me know if you try the recipe! … #cottagecheese #cookingwithkids

🍲New!! Comment below and I’ll send you the link fo 🍲New!! Comment below and I’ll send you the link for this yummy and quick weeknight dinner. Creamy Chicken, Veggie, and Gnocchi Stew is the kind of easy dinner that feels like it simmered all day in a grandma’s kitchen. It’s hearty, nutritious, and can be made in the crockpot, pressure cooker, or on the stove top. You can also easily separate some of the component for kids that don’t like mixed foods (and serve with bread!)
