I am a huge sucker for themed desserts, especially ones that are fun to make with my kids! Melted Snowman Bark is such a fun winter treat to make that is mama-approved for easiness. Plus, you and your kiddos can get creative with it and make each batch different, depending on what you have on hand. Below, I’m sharing two different ways to create a Melted Snowman Bark that everyone will love this season!
Read MoreIt smells like Thanksgiving is upon us, or maybe that’s the chicken nuggets and french fries I smell… LOL As a mom of two, I’ve been down that “picky eater” road a few times! They can love a certain food one day, then want nothing to do with it the next! If your kids are anything like mine, they might not touch any of the home-cooked meals you’ve spent hours making, especially on Thanksgiving. Over the years, I’ve learned how to navigate Thanksgiving dinner with a picky-eater, picking up a few tips and tricks along the way. Keep reading down for my go-to game plan:

I decided to whip up some quick Candy Corn Rice Krispy Treats! If you know me, I’m all for easy recipes, and this one definitely fits my criteria! 🤪 A little food coloring and white chocolate can take your typical Rice Krispy Treats and make them extra spooky!
Read MoreCan you really ever have too many kids lunch ideas?! With everyone going back to school, I’ve been breaking out some old favorite recipes along with new ones I’ve been wanting to try out. If your kids are anything like mine, they probably get bored of the typical turkey sandwich every day. Who can blame them! Healthy, quick, and filling are my top priorities when I’m packing a lunch. These three recipes have been consistent in our lunch rotation, so you know they’re good!

Keep on reading to find out the back to school food essentials I’ll be keeping in my pantry for this school year.
Read MoreI’ll be honest when I say that packing a lunch box is not my favorite task. Some days, I can’t figure out what to pack, so it feels like it takes me ten years to throw something together! Then, on the other days, I pack it and end up forgetting it in the refrigerator - oops!

We fell in love with air frying immediately, and started learning how to make all of our favorite things air fryed!

Cauliflower bites with LOUISIANA Hot Sauce!

We have been making these Jalapeño Popper Turkey Sliders all summer long, and they make for a quick meal after a day of swimming. They take less then 30 minutes to make and taste great leftover.

Now that warmer weather is here to stay, we are spending this time at home making recipes that are great sides for our favorite grilled foods - like chicken, hamburgers, and lots of hot dogs. Our favorite side dish for grilling is this Ranch Mac and Cheese with Hidden Valley Ranch! It takes less than 30 minutes to cook which is a win in my book, and it also tastes great leftover!
Read MoreAlthough it was pretty easy for us to make changes to his diet for breakfast and dinner, we found it a struggle to find gluten-free lunch options to send him to school with! We tried a bunch of new things last week and I’ll share them with you below, everything listed is Aimery-approved! The easiest thing for us to pack has to be the new Brainiac™ Kids applesauce, it’s a convenient way to have Aimery eating fruit at school - and I never have to worry about added sugar or artificial preservatives when shopping this brand!
Read MoreI can’t believe the holidays are less than two weeks away! This is the first year Ben and I will be celebrating as a married couple, so I’m looking forward to having him be a part of our traditions and making new ones together! Since Aimery was little, we’ve had a routine in the Winter that on Sundays we would spend the afternoon baking. Now that Aims is getting older he’s able to help a lot more and appreciate these family times as well!

Read MoreThis year is Ben & I’s first as a married couple! By combining our families around the holidays, we get to try so many new dishes from each side!

The recipe is super simple, easy to make, and perfect for those cold winter days!
Read MoreSince this is our first year as a married couple in our new home, Ben and I are excited to host our first ever holiday party! We are looking forward to inviting our close friends and family to our home and share some of our favorite recipes. Growing up, my parents would always request their friends to bring their favorite holiday dish or desert to our holiday parties, and that is something I would like to continue in our own home! It is always so fun to hear the stories behind favorite side dishes or treats - whether it was a recipe that has been passed down through the generations, or something they created on their own!
Read MoreDuring the holiday season, I always volunteer to bring my favorite charcuterie boards to events and parties! My mother-in-law also requested that I bring one over on Thanksgiving morning, so I’m looking forward to recreating this one as an appetizer before our big meal together as a family! If you follow me on Instagram, then I’m sure you know making Charcuterie boards is one of my favorite things to do!

Read MoreWe had some leftover apple pie filling in our fridge, and so I decided to whip up some Apple Cinnamon French Toast so it wouldn’t go to waste! Aimery absolutely loves french toast - he went through a stage last fall where it was the only thing he would eat. Can you blame him though? French toast is SO good, and this recipe you can eat for breakfast or dessert! Nothing like a huge sugar rush first thing in the morning 😂This is definitely a lazy girl french toast recipe, so keep reading!
