My Nanny Kids love mangos. So for dinner this week I found this grilled chicken with black bean and mango salsa recipe on the skinnytaste website. For a vegetarian version, I just served brown rice with the salsa to complete a protein. The salsa is so good I am going to try serving it with […]
I love trying new ways to serve veggies. The children and their parents love this Asian flavored cucumber salad. It is a light and refreshing salad to serve for yourself and others with Asian meals or as a side dish this summer. Adjust the spices to your liking. Be sure to let the kids help. […]
When I accidentally keep berries too long and they look wrinkled and old, they still can be used and be very tasty in a pie. Homemade pies always taste better than store bought. Using store bought pie crust helps make an easy pie. This triple berry pie from Pillsbury makes the perfect dessert for the […]

Rather than just serving kids store bought salsa with tortilla chips after school, I made this vegetable and protein packed dip for them to enjoy. I call it a dip but it is chunkier than a dip so we had to use a spoon to serve it. You can serve this recipe with tortilla chips, […]

Let the kids your care for help you make some truly healthy cookies with plenty of fiber and protein. I found this recipe on the allrecipes web site. You can use raw sugar instead of brown, spelt flour instead of whole wheat, and a mixture of 1/2 cup raisins with 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips […]
Crepes make a fancy breakfast for Mother’s Day. Prepare the batter with the kids the day before to let the batter sit in the fridge overnight. Whisk it again really well right before making the crepes. You can make crepes in a skillet but it’s even easier using a crepe maker. You can purchase a […]
