Chinese Noodles

I made this fragrant and delicious noodle dinner from my Mom Boss’s recipe book. I just added a lot more chicken and a lot more vegetables. I used an entire cabbage and two pints of mushrooms. I’m sure the family you work for and your own family will enjoy it as much as mine did. […]

Chicken Adobo

This is a delicious Filipino recipe found on the rasamalaysia web site. My advice is to be careful not to overcook the chicken thighs because they will be dry if overcooked. I only use only four chicken thighs for the family id four and I cut the meat off the chicken thighs for little kids. […]

Butternut Squash Stuffed Shells

This is a great, yummy twist on stuffed shells that I found on the Simple Veganista web site and it can be made with or without vegan ingredients. I liked it because it can be made ahead and is freezer friendly. Simply store in a freezer safe container or cover tightly with cling wrap and […]

Pork with Pears and Cider

Pears and cider are in season in my neck of the woods so my Mom Boss asked me to make this recipe from the Epicurious web site. I used four pears instead of two pears so each family member can be served their own pear. I also cut the pears in half instead of eight […]

Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

I’m so lucky to care for Nanny Kids that are willing to try new recipes with me. Spaghetti squash is so sweet and delicious. I typically don’t use salt and pepper so feel free to add the extra seasonings if you want to. Serve this healthy recipe with a salad and a big hunk of […]

Vegan “Chicken” Stir Fry

This is a delicious Vegan Teriyaki “Chicken” Stir-Fry that’s meat-free, plant-based, and made with tofu and vegetables. Start with a frozen block of tofu. Freezing the tofu will yield a much chewier texture. Additionally, you’ll be able to get more of the water out of the tofu. This is an easy and healthy dish to […]

Fish Tacos

Tacos are great because kids can add any toppings they like. I found a recipe on the Natashas Kitchen web site and adjusted it to the family’s liking. For my Nanny Family it’s all about the special taco sauce. Just adjust the ingredients and seasonings for the individual liking. For example, I use soft flour […]

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 […]

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 […]
