💌Follow @heather.happykidskitchen for more Fun + E 💌Follow @heather.happykidskitchen for more Fun + Easy food for Kids!! Super Easy Fun Food…Valentine’s Day Edition Having a little extra fun with snacks, meals, and treats doesn’t have to take a long time. It can be as easy as adding a shower of sprinkles. 🎉 First, you are a great mom/parent/caregiver whether you make fun food or not. Second, holidays/celebrations are a perfect time to get kids into the kitchen and get them excited about a variety of foods. Here are the details of the ideas in this video: 💖Chocolate chip stuffed raspberries: super simple and delish! Great for packing in lunches or to have alongside a meal at home. Easy for kids to make too! 💞Yogurt: Use your favorite pain or vanilla yogurt, swirl in some mashed raspberries, and then top with sprinkles. 🍎Apple “donuts”: cut apples into thick slices and cut out the core with a heart cutter or use a pairing knife. Spread on whatever you like…I used my Chocolate Date Spread (recipe on my site) but Nutella or peanut butter work well too. Sprinkles (duh 😆). ❤️Heart Pocket: I used an uncrustables sandwich sealer to cut out bread and then cut a small heart in the center of the top slice. Spread with peanut butter (cream cheese or any spread you like) then add a piece of strawberry in the center (or use jelly/jam). 😍Lover boy: Use a gingerbread man cookie cutter then cut a small heart out of the top piece of bread. Fill with PB&J or cut out a small heart of strawberry to fill the cut out. I used chocolate chips for the eyes but heart shaped sprinkles work well too. 🍒Love Spritz: a fun and easy drink kids and adults can enjoy. I used tart cherry juice and a berry flavored seltzer but any unsweetened juice and sparkling water combo would be great. Add a few berries and a fun straw for extra eye appeal. Which fun food are you trying first?? . . #funfood #funfoodforkids #valentinesday #pickyeater #cookingwithkids #lunchbox #lunchboxideas
Not food related but one of my biggest missions wh Not food related but one of my biggest missions when starting this IG page 10 years ago was to help other moms and parents feel less alone. Parenting had so many ups and downs but I don’t think people really talk about how f-ing hard it really is. If you are going through it with your toddler or your teen, it just helps a little to know that you aren’t alone in the struggle. One of the biggest lessons I’m learning and trying to teach my kids is that things are hard and that doesn’t mean you are doing it wrong. It might mean you need more practice or to change things up, but it can also just mean you have to keep going, keep trying. So this is what my heart begged me to share this morning. It feels vulnerable but that’s life. Thank you for being here. Please share with any friends or family that might need some love today.
🍓Comment LINK for this Strawberry Frosted Sugar Co 🍓Comment LINK for this Strawberry Frosted Sugar Cookie Bar recipe!! A soft, chewy sugar cookie base topped with the yummiest strawberry frosting you’ve ever tasted. This sweet treat is easy enough to bake with kids but feels special enough for a holiday or special family night in. The bars are lower in added sugar than most desserts like this. Plus, they are allergy friendly and easy to make vegan or gluten free. Freeze dried strawberries make the frosting naturally pink and packed full of strawberry flavor. Top with more crushed strawberry pieces or festive sprinkles. You have to save this recipe to try soon!! You won’t regret it. 😊💕
