On My Kids Plate

Kid Food, Family Meals And Fun

  • Hi I’m Kristy and I’ve missed all of you terribly. I took a little bit of an involuntary hiatus from Instagram, but I’m back after a bit of craziness. Can I offer you a bowl of warm chili and say I missed you? 🥰 This turkey chili is like a hug in a bowl, packed with beans full of fiber, celery, carrots, onions lean ground turkey in a light tomato broth that is light enough for the littles. Before my kiddo ate soups, she’d eat all the “goodies” from this bowl on a plate... just don’t tell her it was really still soup ok? I’ve finally had to dig out my ugg boots for the snow we now have,and cold toes means soups at our house. Do you go for cozy soup when the temperatures dip? The recipe is in my bio ❄️ @onmykidsplate #onmykidsplate #chili #easydinner
  • Merry Christmas, love, light and joy to each and every one of you for the holidays and for the New Year. Don’t let this photo fool you into thinking we had all the perfect holiday moments, we are finally headed towards being healthy again over here after a week of the stomach flu and that gingerbread house is held together with hot glue 🙊🙊The most important part was we spent time together this holiday, and maybe that we didn’t eat that house! 😂 Our Christmas card was also missing the letter f on family which we noticed after we sent it. Shhh, so far no one has said a word to us about it. 🙊 🤷‍♀️ I’d love to hear what your favorite “almost perfect” holiday memory is from this year! #christmas🎄 #onmykidsplate #gingerbreadhouse
  • The holidays are in full swing! These Santa and Elf clementines are perfect for a quick and healthy classroom treat, or can even go in a lunchbox one at a time. (Ad) Sweet and delicious in every bag we buy, we love that @darlingclems takes care to source their fruit carefully from around the world to make sure your favorite elf has the best tasting fruit every time for a healthy treat. Clementines are also perfect to put in the toes of stockings too for a fun holiday tradition. ⁣ .⁣ I’ve made making these adorable Santas and Elves even easier to make, I put a FREE hat printable on my blog so you can just cut them out and tape to a toothpick. You’ll find them in the link in my bio here -> @onmykidsplate 🍊🎅🏼 So would you pick a Santa or an Elf clementine? #onmykidsplate #santaiscoming
  • Frosty the Snowman was a jolly, happy snack! Need a party appetizer that will light up the room? These melting snowman cheeseball bites are ranch flavored and a party pleaser. It’s a little decadent, but perfect for a party appetizer that will make the room giggle. I was originally inspired by @hungryhappenings when making this cute appetizer, but we rolled with a couple different flavors when we made ours. I’ve put the recipe in the link in my bio under melting snowman cheeseball bites here ⛄️ @onmykidsplate and I also included a second savory flavor combo in the notes In case ranch isn’t your jive. My family loves ranch but me? Nah-dah so I have to improvise. Are you a ranch flavor fan? If you like ranch leave a heart ❤️ below, and if you don’t leave a ⛄️ #frostythesnowman #holidayfun #onmykidsplate
  • Extra fluffy pancakes made with Friendly Farms Vanilla Almond Milk, are you feeling it? Sometimes a big batch of fluffy pancakes, an “I love you” and some cozy PJs are all you need to feel cozy with your family. (#ad)⁣ .⁣ This batch has a little extra love from my favorite pantry secret ingredient, Stonemill Pure Vanilla Extract. I’m a bit of a vanilla snob as good vanilla brings out the best flavors, and this one from @aldiusa is usually in my pantry. We cuddled up with our pancakes layered with crunchy granola, fresh raspberries and yummy banana slices and it all just seemed magical when you add the blanket of snow outside our window. ⁣ .⁣ I did my grocery shop all in one quick go right before the weekend. (Even noticed the price on the vanilla and other pantry staples were a less than normal as ALDI has dropped its prices even lower across the store in our area. Check your store, you guys!) I was able to find everything I needed. Load up the cart, we are headed home for pancakes and PJs. I’ve put the link in my bio for the pancake recipe, you don’t want to miss this one! ❤️ @onmykidsplate⁣ .⁣ I’ve been an ALDI fan for a while now but even I discovered a few new items on my last trip, have you been? What’s your favorite item at ALDI?  Give me all the ideas!  #ALDILove #onmykidsplate #pancakelover #kidsfood⁣
  • 🎶 It’s a marshmallow world that we live in when the snow comes to cover the ground 🎶 In our case, it’s the bath! Meet our #elfontheshelf Lovey. Lovey likes to get into all kinds of antics and I’ll be sharing more of them in IG stories this month if you want #elfontheshelfideas too. The elf in our house is just for fun. Every day the kiddo wakes up excited to see what the elf was up to almost as excited as she is on Christmas morning. For us it’s a way to infuse a little joy into the Christmas season, and I’ll be totally honest my husband is the chief mastermind of all things elf. I am mostly the idea sounding board. So if you’re up for a little #Christmas🎄 fun with a side of #marshmallow bubbles keep checking out what else he’s up to today in my stories! Do you elf on the shelf in your house?
