Kids in the Kitchen - Link up #32 - Featured Recipe

Each week I join forces with my friend Carrie @ YoungLivingOilLady to bring you this 

Kids in the Kitchen Link up - we want to encourage families to cook and eat together using real food! 

Let's bring the family back to the table-

Today I have a special treat for you! I'm featuring a special recipe from one of our fabulous link ups
last week! I was so impressed with this one - I'm sure you will be too - Jeannine @Waddlee-ah-chaa
linked up her Good Morning Sunshine Mango Smoothies!  with a FREE printable recipe guide for Kids! 
How awesome is THAT??? Yup, I thought so too-

A sneak peek at the healthy ingredients: 

And the beautiful finished product: 

After you link up your favorite recipe below- be sure to head over to Jeannine's (here) to get the full recipe! 

Super easy - the kiddos can follow it all by themselves (well, some may need a little supervision) but for the most part - it's a healthy breakfast they can learn to make themselves - they'll be so proud! 

I think we may use strawberries in ours and try it out this week! Follow Jeannine on Pinterest here

Kids in the Kitchen - Link up #31 - Cooking 101 free unit study

Joining together with Carrie @YoungLivingOilLady to bring you this fun family link up! 

Our goal is to encourage families to cook and eat together - food is healthier when made at home 

Family friendly recipes welcome - especially healthy food - but treats are good sometimes too. 

We encourage real food, fresh food, and whole grains! We love to see your cuties in the kitchen 

but pictures of your children are not required for the link up - 

won't you help us encourage families to spend time together at the table? 

At our house this week: 

Walker learned a new skill - He cracked eggs by himself and scrambled them in a bowl - teach kids to break the eggs into a separate bowl so if they drop any shell it can be spooned out! 

You don't always have to be ready with a full recipe to spend time with the kids in the kitchen! They also enjoy learning one new skill at a time and knowing they played an important role in preparing the meal. 

Created for you - A new Cooking 101 Unit Study - Aa is for Apple: 

(also for older students- includes recipe and  ideas for Bible, science, language arts and more)

Kids in the Kitchen - Link Up #30 - Steak Roll Up's

I team up each week with my good friend Carrie @YoungLivingOilLady to bring you this link up!

It is our desire to encourage families to spend time cooking and eating together - meals cooked at home 

are healthier and when they are made with love - all that much more so! 

This is my anniversary week and I have a confession -I let the Kids in the Kitchen post sneak up on me 

We cook together several times each week and spend time in the kitchen together most every day.

 I don't always have a new recipe to share with brand new pictures for you. 

This week I thought I'd share something we do as a family when we are on the go. 

We celebrated our 12th Anniversary out on the boat the past 2 afternoons and into the evening - 

We needed something tasty - and portable to take with us on our adventure: 

Steak "roll ups" - 

Simple ingredients include pre-cooked steak or chicken - I usually carry it in a gallon baggie. 

Add grated cheese, and some fresh pico de gaio or your favorite salsa to the meat on a tortilla and . . . 

roll it up! I've put these babies together on the beach, on the boat, and at the park! No plate necessary. 

We had fresh avocado to go with it - we often carry hummus and baby carrots to dip into it. 

Healthy, delicious, and ready to roll!  

Link up your favorite family recipes - no kids necessary - but we sure do think they're cute! 

Just grab the button below - or from the code on the side bar 

(text links are fine) Please be sure to visit a couple others who link up to encourage them as well. 

I can't always leave a comment on each page - but I have been very busy pinning and sharing!

Kids in the Kitchen - Link up #27 - Easy Summer Supper

Teaming up with my good friend Carrie @YoungLivingOilLady  to bring you this fun link up each week.

We know that food cooked at home is healthier for the body and also that spending time in the kitchen 

preparing and enjoying food brings families together. What are you cooking this week? 

Our easy summer supper: 

We did have to turn the stove on to cook the rice - but if you have a rice cooker you can even avoid that! 

We did cheat a bit because for our Sunday supper - we had baked chicken with several large pieces left over - and decided to put them to good use on Monday night for this summer supper.

The little guys worked together to pull the leftover chicken off the bone and break it into bite size pieces.

 

While the rice was cooking - big brother (with daddy's help) chopped some yummy fresh salad veggies 

like cucumber, tomato, onion, and avocado! 

When the rice was done - we mixed in the chicken bites and plated the food! 

Brown rice would make this dish a perfectly healthy meal - but we are in the process of using up a large tub of plain white rice. I decided not to get hung up on it - because the rest of the dinner is extremely healthy. 

The boys practically needed 2 spoons to shovel it in - they love it! 

What are you cooking and enjoying with the family this week? Grab a button below or with code from my side bar - and link up your favorite family recipes! Feel free to Pin away - please leave a comment and

try to visit each other to gather up loads of wonderful ideas to feed the family this year. God bless!
