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…
Toddlers in the Garden: Weeding + Planting
A lot of the actual prep work had to be done by Jed and I. There was just no way Jack and Nora were going to be able to pull out huge weeds and till the soil. But.. they really loved trying. We gave Jack a…
Toddlers in the Garden: Planting Starters
So this year my husband and I decided to start gardening with the kids. (ages 4 and 2) We are by no means gardeners, so if you are looking for tips on how to make a spectacular garden, this definitely isn’t the place.:) We DID decide…
NO David Shannon
Many mom’s know about the “No David” series; most mom’s have experienced the “No David” series with their toddlers, I think that is what makes these books so hilarious. My kids memorized and related with David’s books by the age of two! 🙂 What I didn’t…
Choosing Books Your Toddler Will Love
I am a library nerd. In fact I am such a library nerd that every time my husband and I look at potential places to live in the future, I have asked if there is a library in the town/city. I think it started when I was…
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…
