    {Kid Friendly} Chicken Pad Thai

     Not only is this a dish that your kids will actually eat, but I made it on a weeknight. A weeknight! After working a full 8 hour day.

If you’re a vegetarian you could even sub out the chicken for tofu. What You’ll Need: 4 ounces cooked fettuccini noodles 2 chicken breasts cut into cubes Peanut Oil (can sub olive oil if needed) Snow Peas (can also use edamame, asparagus, sugar snap peas) 1/4…

    Triple Berry Popsicles

These Triple Berry Popsicles are not only delicious and COLORFUL, but the molds are awesome especially for a $1. The best part is they have a straw built into the base so as the popsicle starts to melt you can drink the juice. Genius!  What You’ll Need: -Popsicle Molds -1 quart Blackberries, washed -1/2 cup Raspberry…

    Chewy Cookie Butter Cookies

    These cookies make the perfect little snack thanks to their small size and then there’s the fact that they’re made with Biscoff Cookie Spread or cookie butter as we call it.
