Instant Pot pork Italian sausage is a quick and flavorful meal that’s always a hit at our house and I know will be a family favorite recipe at your house too. I love experimenting with my instant pot as a pressure cooker, and I’ve discovered with a few quick tips Italian sausage … [Read more...]

  • 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! Use the link in my bio to get the BOGO 🍀@onmykidsplate 🍀 Tell me what’s one thing you feel lucky or grateful for about in your life? Have you ever wrote it down? #loveyourmelon #ad
  • I seem to be coming back to a bowl of soup often lately around here because it just feels warm and cozy. Actually the little kid sicknesses are closing in on us again. The kid’s best friend was down along with other friends, my kid came home with an upset tummy (though then she ate ravenously so... maybe just hungry? 🤷‍♀️) and she was telling me half the kindergarten was missing. 😫 Help can I keep my kid home because she might GET sick? 🤣 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So I made some homemade quick chicken noodle soup which you can grab with the link in my bio. I actually added about a half a teaspoon of diced ginger to it this time and I’m glad I did because it made it even better! This soup is one of several of my secret weapons when my family is sick, what’s one of yours? #soupson #onmykidsplate
  • It’s been a while since I’ve shared a lunchbox, and what better time then the first one after the polar vortex... ice storm ❄️... mama’s gonna go crazy if you have another day off school day. 🙈 Parfaits are always appreciated around here, so we went with a winner today. Lots of snacky blueberries, raspberries, cucumbers and sugar snap peas, plain yogurt I added a little honey and vanilla to, granola from @aldiusa , some little wheat bunny crackers from @annieshomegrown and a sweet love note from @lunchbox_love . Lunch is ready to go in our @omielifeinc at top speed today, which is good because I may have stayed up too late watching the Super Bowl... I mean Maroon 5 concert 🤔. I need to mix up how I flavor yogurt, I’ve gone to almost all plain now so I can add the flavors myself. Excepttttttt I always go vanilla. 😴 Along with tagging all the brands in this lunchbox, I tagged a few more lunchbox accounts you should tap to check out for some inspiration, maybe one of them has yogurt flavor ideas! (I tapped out, I wish I could tag every single fun account!) What flavors would you add to the yogurt other then vanilla? I’ve got vanilla covered! #onmykidsplate
  • Squack! Birds of a feather may flock together, but when it comes to busy days sometimes I feel more like a chicken running around after my family. (Ad) I’ve mentioned it before but I really love having quick and convenient proteins on hand to make breakfast, lunch and snacks a breeze like these super convenient @greatdayfarms eggs. These hardboiled eggs come already peeled in 2 or 6 packs, and you can find them at Walmart. (No bits of shell at all 😉) I’ve found that having a few of these eggs on hand means I can give my kid a few slices at a time fast for meals, and I even slice a little over a salad or in a sandwich for me. She’s still my dump the yolk kid, but we’re working on it one egg at a time. Oh by the way does anyone use Ibotta grocery app? Great Day Farms has a .25 of coupon you can use right now off the two pack, or .50 off the six pack! Oh! In my stories I’ll also show you step by step how to make this fun guy, so check that out too! What’s your favorite way to have hard boiled eggs? #eggceptionallygreat
