May can be madness (hence why I’m 13 days late pos May can be madness (hence why I’m 13 days late posting this 🫠) —but I’d love to encourage you to save this list and get into the kitchen together when you have time! These recipes are especially great to print out to have older kids work on alone (with a little guidance if needed) or for an adult (that’s not you…babysitter, partner, grandparent…) to have as an activity with your child.
In the full post you’ll find easy breakfasts to have on hand for busy weekdays as well as weekend brunch ideas for a celebration. There’s also fun snacktivities and fresh dinners perfect for spring.

Using frozen shredded potatoes really makes this one pan meal even easier. If you want to use shredded sweet potatoes or carrots and can’t find them frozen, you can definitely just add some fresh grated veggies to a bag of frozen regular potatoes.
This recipe is also super versatile and you can add in bell peppers, cauliflower rice, or any veggie you’d like.
I added some chicken breakfast sausage as well but you can leave the extra protein off or add bacon instead.
As always, there’s a #kidsinthekitchen section in the full blog post to help you find ways to have kids help make this recipe.
Wouldn’t this be awesome for a breakfast for dinner too?
Let me know if you have any questions or give the recipe a try! 😊💕

Rhubarb desserts have a special place in my heart because it’s something that my mom, mother in law, and I really enjoy. Plus, rhubarb is seasonal produce that usually starts coming out around Mother’s Day! This recipes is dedicated to all the hard working moms and mother figures out there.
Make something delicious for someone to tell them how much you care OR make it for yourself because you deserve it too..
This recipe comes together in 20 minutes and can easily be made gluten-free and vegan.
Plus it’s a little lower in added sugar than most crisp recipes.
Hope you give it a try!

Great for a Passover friendly treat or fun dessert for kids to help make anytime!

Ingredients: about 10 coconut macaroons, 1 pint ice cream (regular or dairy free), optional: dark chocolate or chocolate chip, and toppings (I used chopped pistachios and sprinkles).
Here’s how to make them:
Makes 8 using a loaf pan or double the recipe and use a square baking pan.
Line the pan with plastic wrap. Press store bought coconut macaroons into the bottom of the pan. I used 10. Take a little time to press the macaroons in evenly to you get a flat sheet. Pull the sheet out and repeat the process so you have top and bottom layers of macaroon.
Layer in ice cream of your choice. Press down so you get a packed, even layer of ice cream that is about an inch thick.
Place the macaroon layer on top of the ice cream and press down gently.
Freeze the pan for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Working quickly, cut into bars. I found a serrated knife works best. Place back in the freezer to keep cold.
Melt some dark chocolate (I used a 4oz bar). 
Dunk or drizzle the ice cream sandwiches with chocolate and sprinkle on toppings right away before the chocolate hardens. 
Place back in the freezer as needed to keep the ice cream from melting. Store in a container or zip top bags in the freezer.
Enjoy!

💗🐰Easy #snacktivity !! Recipe: 1/2 frozen banana, 💗🐰Easy #snacktivity !!
Recipe:
1/2 frozen banana, 1 cup frozen strawberries,1/4 cup frozen cauliflower rice, 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt, 1/4 cup milk (any kind), splash of vanilla, optional honey or maple syrup, to taste
Use a high speed blender to blend really well until creamy and smooth.
Keep the pink smoothie thick to add toppings or add more milk to thin it out and drink it through a straw.
And no, you can’t taste the cauliflower. (Not, yes 🤦‍♀️😆) But if you don’t have any, you can totally leave it out and it’s still a nutritious snack.
Turn it into a snacktivity and let your child decorate the top of the smoothie bowl. Show them this video if they want to make a bunny or other animal or just put out some fruit and let them chop it up and add it however they’d like.
Simple, fun, and yummy!!
Will you try it with your bunnies?? 😊💕
