🫐 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!! ❤️
🎅 Unfortunately Santa isn’t coming to rescue us 😂 🎅 Unfortunately Santa isn’t coming to rescue us 😂 That’s why you might need my book of one pot, family friendly dinner recipes!! And my digital cookbook is only $9 so it’s definitely a gift worth giving yourself this holiday season. Or send it to a friend as a gift! I created What’s for Dinner to make your life easier! And I know I really need easy dinner right now. You too?
🍫No Bake S’mores Treats The most requested dessert 🍫No Bake S’mores Treats The most requested dessert I’ve ever made! People always ask for the recipe so here it is!! Recipe: 10 Tbsp butter 1 (12 oz) bag large marshmallows 1 bag mini marshmallows, divided 1/4 tsp salt (or 1/8 tsp if you are using salted butter) 6 Hershey chocolate bars, chop 4 of them into little pieces and leave the other 2 whole 10 cups Golden Graham cereal Line a 9-by-13 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Melt the butter in a large pot (or a medium one if you are going to mix the cereal in a large bowl) Add the whole bag of large marshmallows and half of the bag of the mini marshmallows. Stir until all of the marshmallows are completely melted. Turn off the heat then stir in the salt and all of the cereal. Work quickly from now on so the mixture doesn’t set before you spread it in the pan. Stir really well to coat all the cereal in the marshmallow. Then add half of the remaining marshmallows (saving some for the top) and all of the chopped chocolate. Stir to combine. Dump the whole mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Press the remaining marshmallows into the top and break the remaining chocolate into little pieces and press those in too. Add sprinkles if you’d like. I like to place a piece of parchment over the top and press everything down gently to make sure it sticks together. Chill the pan for at least 20 min to set then cut into bars. .. Let me know if you have any questions and send me pics if you make them!

☃️🥕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
