Dreamy Orange Creamies

These orange creamsicles were delicious.  My husband came home and ate three and then asked if we could make more… which, of course, we did.  They were smooth and creamy and tasted like an Orange Julius on a stick.  The great part about it is they…

Veggie and Hummus Pitas

I love to expose my kids to vegetables even when they don’t chose to eat them often. This was a great experience for little miss 2 to make! I love that she chose to spread the hummus on the outside of the pita and pile on…

Mini Chocolate Croissants

I am delighted with these little puffed beauties! Not only do they taste delicious and gourmet, but the ingredient list is so simple – and the cooking process is also a breeze. Using puffed pastry takes all the work out of creating this chocolate croissant. Little…

Bread in a Bag

This bread tasted really good. I was a little skeptical when I saw those cute little misshapen balls of dough go into the pans but they turned out amazing. I ate almost a half a mini loaf while the kids were napping…terrible, I know. HOW TO…

Creamy Cilantro-Lime Chicken Taquitos

I absolutely LOVE fresh lime. I love the smell and the taste it adds to any recipe! This was my toddlers’ first time using a hand juicer and it was a pretty fun experience for them. Turning the lime around on the juicer while pushing down hard enough to…

Fresh Strawberry Pie

My toddlers love strawberries. Chopping up strawberries has been a great kitchen activity for my kiddos… and I love that when making a dessert the whole family will enjoy my toddlers can help with one part that is safe and simple! Cooking with toddlers can be…

Simple Fruit Salad

Pulling grapes has been one of little miss two’s favorite kitchen activities so far. It is repetitive and simple, plus she loves grapes so she can sample them along the way. I like to have her do this when we are making our lunch to take…

Cinnamon Toast Hearts

This is a variation on a traditional cinnamon toast my mom used to make for us growing up… sometimes as a bedtime snack or a family night treat. I think this would make a delicious part of a mother’s day breakfast made by the kids, showing their…

Mexican Egg Rolls

I love Mexican food! So when I found this recipe I could’t wait to try it. One of my favorite things about these are that they are finger food. Anything my 3 year old niece can eat with her hands is something she is more likely…

Blackberry Banana Bliss Smoothie

This was such an easy recipe for kids.  My two-year-old could easily do the entire thing by herself.  Kids loved chopping the banana and pouring all the ingredients into the blender.  They especially loved pushing the button and watching everything blend together.  The consistency probably wasn’t…

My Favorite 100% Whole Wheat Banana Bread

Am I the only one who always ends up with two or more overripe bananas at the end of every week? It happens a lot at our house and I do NOT like to eat them plain. Almost green bananas for me thank you! Peeling these…

Berry-Melon Breakfast Sundae

This “breakfast sundae” was delicious and really fun to make with my toddlers! My favorite moment from the cooking process was when little miss two was scooping out the honeydew with the ice cream scoop, and as soon as she got it the melon went flying…
