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! 😊💕 . . #healthywaffles #kidsrecipes #healthykidsfood #blw #cookingwithkids #cookingwithtoddlers #greenfood #healthytoddlerfood

🫐 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!! ❤️

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!
