Zucchini and Red Pepper Egg Bites

I love these beautiful and delicious zucchini and roasted red pepper egg bites. I saw the recipe on the erekav Instagram page but adjusted it a bit. I used liquid egg whites rather than cracking eggs. I like roasting my own red pepper but you can just buy a jar of roasted red peppers at […]

S’Mores Cookies

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 […]

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 […]
