Easy Snacks that Kids Can Make
Kids are home with me for the summer and I am enjoying our relaxed time together. Having my children in the kitchen is a wonderful way for us to spend quality time together. I also like that I can occupy them, and chat with them, all while getting something accomplished. We have been busy making some easy snacks that kids can make!
My youngest has recently become much more of a picky eater (something I have no experience with!) and it seems the more I get her involved in meal prep, the more things she is willing to try. Below you'll find a few easy snacks that kids can make with very little help! Each requires only a few ingredients and have minimum prep time (for the kiddos' short attention span!)
We have always been huge fans of Stonyfield yogurt. With as much as 40% less sugar than the leading lowfat kids’ yogurt and 9 grams or less of sugar per serving, Stonyfield Kids is always made with USDA organic, non-GMO ingredients and is perfect fuel for busy summers. I love that we can pack in a lot of protein, calcium and that yogurt is such a diverse food. (Here are some unique ways we incorporate this superfood.) The girls had a ball making these yummy frozen treats.
Is a Vizsla a Good Dog for Your Family?
Long before COVID arrived, our family decided we were ready for a dog. I grew up with dogs and knew my girls would gain a lot from the experience of owning a pet. Vizslas are wonderful and gorgeous dogs that require a ton of exercise and lot of time. Like me, you might wonder, ...read more
How to Get Kids to Ski for Free in Utah
I know skiing with kids can be expensive. That's why I'm always looking for an angle to save myself and my readers some money. My goal? Get us all out on the slopes more with the kiddos without having to tap into our retirement accounts. Sure, you can pack lunches and get used ...read more
What to Do After the Epilepsy Diagnosis for Your Child
In the spring of 2020, right in the early panic days of the COVID crisis, my daughter had a seizure. It scared us to the core. We called 911, got an ambulance and essentially that was when we started our epilepsy journey. 18 months later, I've learned a lot and want to help other ...read more
We made frozen yogurt bites which were such a hit with the littles and truth be told, I was such a big fan of these too! Another delicious use for muffin liners with no baking required! Try topping them with fresh strawberries and blueberries (we used raspberries picked fresh from our garden!) for a berry colorful cup that fits perfectly into bento boxes, perfect for a picnic, camp, or a jaunt to the beach. Want to grow your own berries? We had great success with Bushel and Berry. We also tried this take on the normally sugar-filled "bark'. The Kids Frozen Yogurt Bark takes mere minutes to prep and can be tailored to your liking. I will definitely be bringing these to the baseball summer BBQ!
We also made these easy and tasty bite-sized snacks using SUPERPRETZEL as the base. The SUPERPRETZEL website inspired us to make our own take on the honey, bacon & chili bites. We subbed out the bacon and used little bits of avocado. We heated the bites, drizzled them in honey (we love Nature Nate's) sprinkled a bit of chili powder and bits of avocado, then topped with cheese and baked them for 5 minutes at 325 degrees. They were awesome Tex-Mex inspired bites. The kids really munched them right up! There are several pretzel bite recipes available at SUPERPRETZEL.com and they each have less than five ingredients and take less than 20 minutes from prep to eat!
And a word about these cute, vintage inspired aprons...First, the girls absolutely dig the whole mommy and me thing. You may have spotted them on Sex & the City 2 and 30 Rock.The aprons (and adorable matching oven mitt) are from designer, Jessie Steele. They are timeless, and a classy (and totally on-trend!) way to keep clean while entertaining.
