• Taco Tuesday 🌮for the win again! This time with Slow Cooker Chili Lime Chicken. This has been a great easy juicy chicken recipe that everyone has enjoyed over the last few months. There are minimal ingredients. I took it with us skiing a few times this winter because the ingredients were so simple and it was great to come home to an easy meal. I thought this recipe would be helpful to share now because although we have some more time to cook it is nice to have some simple meals. I also enjoy having slow cooker meals as the weather turns so we can stay outside and play longer. Our children enjoy these as fajitas with avocado and shredded cheese. For a lighter version Chris and I enjoy these in lettuce cups. . . Hope you enjoy these as much as we do! The recipe is below and I have made a highlight for it in case you want to check out how easy it was to prepare. I will post it to my website this week as well. . . Ingredients: 3 1/2 - 4 lbs Chicken Breasts or thighs 2 Tbsp Chili lime seasoning 1 tsp salt 5 garlic cloves roughly chopped 1 tsp cumin (optional) 1 onion quarted and placed on top (I remove before shredding because my children don’t like chunks of onion) 1 bottle of beer . . Instructions: 1. Place Chicken in Slow Cooker 2. Sprinkle the garlic, salt, chili lime and cumin (optional) over the chicken 3. Pour the beer over the chicken 4. Place onion pieces on top and cook on low for 6-8 hours. 5. Shred your chicken about 1/2 - 1 hour before serving 6. Serve as tacos, burrito bowls or taco salads . . . #tacotuesday #silverlinings #tacotuesday🌮 #slowcookerrecipes #slowcookermeals #easyslowcookermeals #quickrecipes #easyrecipes #kidsinthekitchen #kitchenhelper #cookingwithkids #cookingwithkidsisfun #littlehelpers #foodplaygo

  • Taco Tuesday! I challenged Savanna and Chris to make my easy slow cooker beef tacos for dinner tonight. They accepted the challenge and crushed it! It was nice to take the night off but the best part was how proud she was and how grateful I am for this time we have together. I’ll link the original recipe post in my stories. . . . . #tacotuesday #silverlinings #tacotuesday🌮 #slowcookerrecipes #slowcookermeals #easyslowcookermeals #quickrecipes #easyrecipes #kidsinthekitchen #kitchenhelper #cookingwithkids #cookingwithkidsisfun #littlehelpers #foodplaygo #funinthekitchen

  • Build your own Family Pasta Bar Night 🍝 . We love this in our meatless Monday rotation but you could really do it any night! I thought it would be the perfect time to share because it is also a great freezer and pantry staple meal night🙌🏻 This is super flexible and adaptable to your families preferences! While we are not eating out it could also be a fun way to play restaurant and make dinner more exciting for the night 🤗 . I offer a bunch of options and have my children to pick a balance of 3 toppings. Some picky eaters don’t love when their foods touch and you can do this on separated plate too! What is your favorite pasta topping? . . . . What you need: *Favorite Pasta - Regular, Gluten Free, Chickpea, Veggie etc... *Favorite Sauce or Sauces - with all of the toppings we love to just to olive oil and salt but you could open your favorite jar of sauce or pesto *Protein: Beans (we do for Meatless Monday), chicken or meatballs Veggie: Frozen, canned, spinach or whatever you have left and want to roast Cheese: Mozzarella and Parmesan (or your favorite dairy free if you need) Other: Tomatoes, Olives, Artichokes . . . . #quickandhealthy #quickrecipes #easyrecipes #pastanight #pastabar #familypasta #familymeals #meatlessmonday #meatlessmeals #easymeals #pantrymeals #kidapprovedfood #foodplaygo

Creamy Green “Earth” Smoothie 1/2 avocado 1 banana 1 cup almond milk 1 tbs almond butter Small handful spinach 2 handfuls of ice . .

  • We are all trying to stay healthy and pack in extra nutrients and vitamins so I thought it would be helpful to share two of our favorite green smoothies over the next week 🌟First up this healthy green smoothie has only 4 simple ingredients plus ice and water. If I called it a green smoothie my children wouldn’t drink it so with St. Patrick’s Day🍀 coming up I am currently calling it a lucky leprechaun - you can tell them the leprechaun dyed it green😉 At other times we have called it a green ninja or green monster - you can choose whatever you think will works for you! If you are looking and for an extra immune booster I have added lemon and ginger but only for me, my children do not like it that way! For full notes and adaptations pop on over to my blog post from today from the link in my profile @kristanwatson. What is your favorite nutrient dense food/smoothie?? . . . #healthysmoothie #greensmoothie #healthybreakfast #greensmoothies #whatifeedmykid #kidfriendlyfood #kidapproved #kidapprovedfood #easyhealthykids #familyfood #realfoodforkids #foodisfuel #whatifeedmytoddler #foodplaygo
