  • Cheese? No Cheese? Lettuce? No Lettuce? What's your favorite slider toppings? Double Tap and tell me in the comments! . I had every intention of sharing some Halloween fun today, and then THIS delicious turkey burger slider recipe was featured in a @buzzfeedfood article. I just had to shout it from the rooftops so you could make this #easyrecipe stat too. . I'll be making these exact turkey burger sliders next weekend when we have some friends coming to visit for a post pumpkin patch dinner. These mini burgers are the perfect size for kid hands. But keeping small lean turkey burgers juicy ain't easy, which is why I have a great trick to make it happen! .

  • ⁣⁣ Hey, long time no see! Double tap if you’re feeling like a 🌵 today, spiky and sweet all in one!⁣⁣ -⁣⁣ You may have remembered I last left you when we were somewhere in Kansas, it was well over 100 degrees and we lost two tires, our air conditioner (and eventually the wheel well) in our versa. Did I mention it had well over 100k miles on it before we started the trip? 🤪⁣⁣ We’ve since purchased a new car. 🙈 -⁣⁣ Thank you for all of your kind notes, We made it to Arizona and for a little while? Life just got hard as we all transitioned. We’ve since ran into tarantulas 🕷 cactus 🌵 bears 🐻 and coyotes 🐕. Arizona bites back ya’ll. But I’m back in the kitchen now in our new home.⁣⁣ -⁣⁣ Meanwhile I couldn’t help but share these adorable cactus 🌵 cupcakes with you that we had for my birthday last month thanks to Grama’s bakery! After having more then one encounter with a cactus, the kid asked “um, can we eat these?”⁣⁣ -⁣⁣ Has your family went through a big transistion that left you feeling spikey sweet like a 🌵? ⁣⁣ -⁣⁣ Ps. I’ll share all the beautiful succulent cupcakes in my stories, tell me which one is your favorite? #onmykidsplate
  • Some big news! School may be out here but it’s time to pack a few more boxes other then lunchboxes. My husband Noel (or Mr. OnMyKidsPlate as he’s been called 😉) @astronoel has officially accepted a tenure track astronomy professor position in Arizona. . This means we will be moving to Arizona from Toledo, Ohio in mid July and having another big adventure as a family! We are super proud of Noel and excited for this new chapter as a family. Thank you all for your understanding and your sweet DMs you’ve sent in the past weeks, your continued kind words and notes are so encouraging. I’m looking forward to bringing you more recipes and fun from the desert soon! Now anyone know have any good cactus recipes? 🌵 😘 #onmykidsplate
  • Breakfast for dinner for Cinco de Mayo? Yes please! 🥳 🌮 About a week or so ago in my Instagram stories we were talking about easy ways to use frozen veggies in meals. This broccoli and cheese breakfast quesadilla is a favorite way to use frozen broccoli to make the meal go even faster! We serve this quesadilla up for breakfast, but sometimes it’s so good? We have this for dinner. 😁 This is a fast and easy recipe to celebrate Cinco de Mayo with the kids, even if you had no plans. I recommend adding a side of salsa or guac 🥑 Because sometimes being a parent means you think on the fly. 🤙 Do you usually have Mexican style food on Cinco de Mayo? . Find the recipe in the link in my bio 🌮👉@onmykidsplate 🥳🌮🥑 #onmykidsplate #cincodemayo #kidsfood
  • Yesterday I mentioned in stories that I was cooking up something in the #instantpot Tah-dah, the kids can’t resist this JUICY Pork Tenderloin with a honey balsamic sauce. It’s ready in under 30 minutes plus still lean and light for a weeknight dinner. The whole family will love that slightly sweet but super simple sauce! In fact I sent some to a friend’s house and they loved it too. (ad) You can find the full recipe in the link in my bio 👉@onmykidsplate Double tap if you wish it was dinner time now! 😋 I served this with broccoli 🥦,what would you add on the side? @ohiopork #onmykidsplate #ohpork #dinnerideas #dinnertime
  • I’m not sure who had more fun at @kalahariresorts the kid, or the parents! We had such a blast from tons of water slides for all sized kids, to the lazy river (which we floated down a bunch!), the wave pool, the indoor/outdoor hot tub- their was TONS to do. I can’t say enough positive things about our stay. (Ad) #lovekalahari ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve popped some of the highlights of our visit in stories, and I’ll be adding a few more. I’ve also saved them in my highlights section on my profile 👉 @onmykidsplate so go check them out! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We talk a lot about food here and everything we had was pretty delicious. We lay back when on vacation (and if you like sweets holy moly do they have some mile high treats) but I was also happy to find some great fresh options too. Do you have any questions about visiting Kalahari? Have you ever been? Let me know in the comments, or just drop me some 🌊❤️ emojis if you wish you were on vacay too!
