  • Double tap if you’re in for a cozy lunch or dinner. . This ham and potato soup has pretty much been all my kid has wanted in the last week or so outside of toast and snacky things. I really can’t blame her, it’s so cozy and warm and it just might ruin you for potato soup elsewhere. Want the recipe? You can find it in the link in my bio 🥰 @onmykidsplate . Kid Tip: One of my favorite ways to cool down soup is to give my kid a handful of frozen peas to mix in at the table. *cools the soup down fast to make it easier to eat *adds an “activity” to soup *keeps the peas looking bright green *adds a veggie . Have you tried this idea with the peas? Have a great soup tip too? Tell me about it down in the comments! #onmykidsplate #soupseason #soupson

  • Double tap if you can’t wait for turkey day! 🦃 🦃 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . I made this adorable turkey platter for Thanksgiving last year and I think I spent more time taking photos then making the platter. It was for a #friendsgiving and one of my friends said “I knew you’d bring something Pinteresty!” Don’t tell her this platter doesn’t take much time to make. You can put in hummus, artichoke dip or whatever your favorite dip. It’s a perfect way to hang with your Thanksgiving guests before the big feast, and the kiddos love it too! #thanksgiving ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . What dip would you add to this turkey? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . 🦃 Want the directions? Find them in the link in my bio 🥕 🦃 @onmykidsplate 🦃 🥕

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.
