šŸŒšŸ„ž Banana Blender Pancakes (with extra prote šŸŒšŸ„ž Banana Blender Pancakes (with extra protein!) Comment LINK for the recipe. Some breakfast inspo for the weekend! These Banana Protein Blender Pancakes are naturally sweetened, dairy-free, and full of protein and healthy fat from nut or seed butter. The recipe is so easy! You just throw everything into a blender so itā€™s perfect for kids to help too. I like placing a few slices of banana right on top of each pancake before flipping. The bananas get so sweet and caramelized, but thatā€™s totally optional of course. Add a drizzle of peanut butter and maple syrup and this breakfast will feel like a special treat. Are you a weekend pancake maker?? Hope you have a great Saturday! šŸ˜ŠšŸ’•
šŸ›’ Whatā€™s something new youā€™ve tried and enj šŸ›’ Whatā€™s something new youā€™ve tried and enjoyed recently?? Iā€™ve always loved grocery shopping. I know not everyone does, so I like to share when I find new things to enjoy. Maybe it will inspire you to try something new and make buying food a fun adventure for you and your family? In my most recent Trader Joeā€™s trip: šŸ«› Sugar snap peas: I donā€™t know why they are always better at TJs šŸ˜† šŸæ Buffalo Ranch popcorn: really flavorful and nicely spicy. If you like buffalo flavor, you must try this. šŸ¬Strawberry Sour Belts: Iā€™m a big sour candy fan and these are delish. Thicker and a little more chewy than regular sour belts. Medium sour and a nice strawberry flavor. Bought a few other new things from the frozen section and will share those in stories as we try them. Whatā€™s something new youā€™ve tried and enjoyed recently??

šŸ”„ Do you like to grill?? #momsthatgrill As the šŸ”„ Do you like to grill?? #momsthatgrill As the weather gets warmer Iā€™ve really been enjoying grilling up dinner. Itā€™s easy to make a pretty balanced meal and the best partā€”no pots or pans to clean!! I have a short list of essentials that make grilling easier and more enjoyable for me so Iā€™m sharing those with you today!! Just comment LINK and youā€™ll get the list in your DMs. You really need my favorite grilling brush, lightweight tongs, and a good thermometerā€¦thatā€™s it. Also, if your hand tend to get too hot while working over a grill, I highly recommend getting some grilling gloves šŸ§¤. Please let me know if you have any questions or want me to cover any other info on grilling! Now, I just have to figure out how to get my kids to appreciate my dinners or not eat too many snacks after school šŸ˜‚
May can be madness (hence why Iā€™m 9 days late po May can be madness (hence why Iā€™m 9 days late posting this šŸ« ) ā€”but Iā€™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 (thatā€™s not youā€¦babysitter, partner, grandparentā€¦) to have as an activity with your child. In the full post youā€™ll find easy breakfasts to have on hand for busy weekdays as well as weekend brunch ideas for a celebration. Thereā€™s also fun snacktivities and fresh dinners perfect for spring. ā€¦ šŸŒ¼Which recipe do you want to try first? #cookingwithkids
Patience. Itā€™s something I hear about a lot when Patience. Itā€™s something I hear about a lot when it comes to cooking with kids (and parenting in general). And hereā€™s what I want you to know: You donā€™t have to be perfectly patient to help your kids learn to cook. Itā€™s ok if it stresses you out. Do the best you can. I freak out on my kids all the time! I apologize, learn from what set me off, take a few deep breaths, and then keep going. No parent is patient all the time, so donā€™t let that stop you from trying. Also, with Motherā€™s Day coming up this weekend Iā€™ve been reflecting a lot about what it feels like to be a mom. And I keep saying to myself ā€œItā€™s just so confusing!ā€ I feel so many things at once and that can be hard for me to process. Does anyone else feel that way?? Well, if you feel furious with your kids, exhausted by the crap they do, and completely in love with them all at the same time, Iā€™m right there with you. . #motherhood #honestmotherhood #mothersday
šŸ³Comment LINK for this Sheet Pan Breakfast reci šŸ³Comment LINK for this Sheet Pan Breakfast recipe! Using frozen shredded potatoes really makes this one pan meal even easier. If you want to use shredded sweet potatoes or carrots and canā€™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 youā€™d like. I added some chicken breakfast sausage as well but you can leave the extra protein off or add bacon instead. As always, thereā€™s a #kidsinthekitchen section in the full blog post to help you find ways to have kids help make this recipe. Wouldnā€™t this be awesome for a breakfast for dinner too? Let me know if you have any questions or give the recipe a try! šŸ˜ŠšŸ’•
