Japanese Inspired Salmon

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 […]

Mango and Black Bean Salsa with Grilled Chicken

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 […]

Asian Cucumber Salad

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. […]

Triple Berry Pie

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 […]

Pineapple Shrimp Stir Fry

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. I added zucchini and green pepper to the recipe. It’s quick to make and so much better than takeout. You Will […]

Chicken, Corn, and Fresh Veggies Dip

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, […]

Pistachio Loaves

This is super easy recipe I found at the My Recipe Magic web site. It makes two loaves. I sprinkled a few pistachios on the top of the loaves, but the nuts are heavy so just sprinkle a few on top. If you add too many pistachios on top of the mixture it will keep […]

Fish Tacos with Slaw

I’m addicted to fish tacos and I don’t even need taco seasonings or the seasonings listed in this delicious recipe from Skinny Taste web site to enjoy these tacos. Kids love building their own tacos. I include guacamole, shredded cheese, and sour cream for the kids to layer on their tacos as well. I like […]

Irish Soda Bread

Although children are satisfied eating a green bagel on Saint Patrick’s Day, I always want to do something a little more traditionally Irish with them. So each year I make Irish Soda Bread with them to celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day. Irish soda bread is a soft textured cake like bread that rises due to the […]
