Looking for a spooky snack for Halloween or just to be a little creepy crawly? This idea is kind of like the classic peanut butter and celery snack "Ants On A Log" with a silly twist. This is a great Halloween snack for a party, but is also fun to surprise the kids with a treat … [Read more...]

  • 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!
  • Spring break week here and while we’ve laid a little low, some fun plans are ahead. We are heading for a night at @KalahariResorts to check out the waterslides and have a fun night away! #LoveKalahari (ad) We will be sharing some of the fun we find in Instagram stories Sunday and Monday so you can have a peek as we explore! Also we are surprising the little, she knows we have a fun trip planned but not where 🥳 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Before we go, we are pumping up excitement for our trip with a super easy tropical smoothie. Save it for later to make your kiddo a tropical smoothie too! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Easy Tropical Spring Break Smoothie Recipe 1/2 banana- frozen 4 strawberries - fresh or frozen 1/2 orange 1/4 cup pineapple- fresh or frozen 1/2 cup almond milk (I used vanilla) Blend well, makes 1 cup of smoothie. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have you been to Kalahari? What should we make sure to do? If you haven’t been, what are your spring break plans?
  • All this talk of winter (it’s like 20 degrees here) has me craving sunshine, so I poured a little extra into this lunchbox topped with a rainbow ring! Today in our @yumboxlunch we have @simpletruth4u nitrate free ham, cherry tomatos and cheese skewers with @thelunchpunch stix. On the side pomegranate and raspberries, carrots and wavy cucumbers cut with our wavy knife. Dessert in the center is two chocolate @larabar bites. The @lunchbox_love note made me smile. The kid actually says this to ME sometimes so I thought it would make her grin to find it in her lunchbox. Lastly you can’t see it as it’s on the back but all our lunchbox gear has a @mabelslabels tag so they don’t get lost. (All the lunch gear is in my amazon influencer store in the link in my bio if you need something new for your kid. @onmykidsplate 🙂). So which part of this lunch would you nibble on first? #onmykidsplate
  • Do you feel lucky? 🍀 We aren’t far from St. Patrick’s Day but today is the lucky day because @loveyourmelon is having a one day only buy one get one free sale! 🥳 I know I feel super lucky to have this little mini in my life with all the love she brings. Which is why I’ve been setting aside time every night to write down what I am grateful for. Does anyone else do this? It’s been helping keep my head clearer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Which is also why I’m also excited to show support again for @loveyourmelon Not only do they make the coziest hats (and you can get two with the BOGO sale today) but fifty percent of the profits from their products go to nonprofits fighting pediatric cancer- so we can help spread some love and luck a little further. The sale is only going on today though, so you’ll have to be quick to twin with your little!
