• This awesome girl turned 7 last week and I thought it would be a fun to do a week of easy birthday 🥳 filled ideas. First up is this fun Unicorn🦄 themed party with my easy no-chill cut-out sugar cookies. You do not need a mixer, just a bowl🥣, a whisk and a spatula :) To make this party simple I used the Magical Unicorn 🦄Party in a Box from @littlemissparty I did this party as a fun summer get together, but it would also be a cute small birthday party. With the holidays around the corner this is also a great recipe holiday cookies! Ingredients are below and you can check out my blog post for full instructions and my favorite dyes & sprinkles from the link to my recent recipes in my profile @kristanwatson . . . . Ingredients: * 1 cup unsalted butter * 1 cup granulated white sugar * 1 large egg * 1 tsp. pure vanilla * 2 tsp. baking powder * 1/2 tsp. salt * 2 1/2 - 3 cups all-purpose flour It is usually 3 cups but I like to add the 3rd cup in slowly as you do not want crumbly dough! . . . . #unicorn #unicorncookies #unicornparty #unicornpartyideas #birthdaypartyideas #birthdaypartyideasforkids #sugarcookies #sugarcookiesofinstagram #sugarcookiedecorating #quickrecipes #easyrecipes #easybaking #bakingwithkids #bakingfun #bakingcookies #kidsinthekitchen #cookingwithkids #cookingwithkidsisfun #foodplaygo

  • 5 minutes of prep work for 3 meals with this easy garlic and herb slow cooker chicken 🙌🏻 The chicken is so moist and tender that it normally falls apart as I am trying to take it out of the slow cooker. The key to flavor in this chicken is to get under the skin. We eat the chicken plain the night of with simple veggies and potatoes or rice. Then I made two large chicken quesadillas with a side salad for another night and the third meal was a soup. Ingredients below and for full instructions, a video on how I prep my chicken and more leftover meal ideas head over to my blog post from the link to my recent recipes in my profile @kristanwatson. . . . Ingredients: . * 4-5 lb whole chicken * 1 tbsp seasoning salt (divided) * 10 cloves of garlic * 1 tsp herbs de provence (thyme, rosemary, marjoram, savory and lavender) or your favorite mix of dried herbs * 1 tbsp olive oil * 1 onion * 1 cup baby carrots or chopped regular carrots * fresh herbs - sage, thyme & rosemary I use a handful . . #chicken #slowcooker #slowcookerrecipes #crockpotrecipes #crockpotmeals #paleorecipes #paleo #quickandhealthy #quickrecipes #easyrecipes #whatifeedmykid #kidfriendlyfood #kidapproved #kidapprovedfood #easyhealthykids #familyfood #realfoodforkids #chickendinner #dairyfree #glutenfreedinner #eathealthyfood #easymeals #healthylifestyle #eatgood #foodisfuel #wholesomemeals #foodplaygo
