  • 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 🦃 🥕

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.

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

  • 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.
