Summer usually means making s’mores by a campfire. But since it rained this week the kids and I decided to make these s’mores cookies indoors from the simply recipes web site. Make sure to let the children help you collect the ingredients, mix the ingredients, and help scoop the cookie dough to prepare it to […]
I finally made a salmon recipe the kids love as much as their parents! It’s the Asian inspired marinade and attention to not overcook the fish that makes it so moist and yummy. I served it it with brown rice and cucumbers (since I let the children pick their own vegetables). The parents enjoyed cauliflower […]
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. […]

Using store bought pie crust helps make an easy pie. This triple berry pie from Pillsbury makes the perfect dessert for the […]
I found this healthy shrimp stir fry recipe on the endless meal web site. An easy to make stir fry sauce coats the tender shrimp, sweet pineapple chunks, and my Nanny Kids’ favorite veggies.

The honey mustard dip is optional. You Will Need: 1 pound carrots olive oil spray 1/2 cup grated Parmesan […]
I found this recipe on the skinnytaste web site. No air fryer, no problem! Just heat a skillet on high heat, spray with oil, and cook 5 to 6 minutes. I also roll the fish and veggies into a tortilla wrap or into a taco shell for children. You Will Need: 4 6-ounce boneless skinless […]
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, […]
