Turkey, Spinach and Macaroni Bites

January 28, 2015 By Shannah Coe 1 Comment

Weeknights around here are crazy. I get home just in time to cook dinner and then it is time to check homework, take showers and get the kids in bed. I like to spend as much quality time with the kids as I can so I aim for meals that are delicious but easy to make. Right now, the only thing my four year old will eat with a spoon is guacamole so I have to make sure we have some finger friendly foods on the table too. I spend a lot of time trying to think outside of the box to ensure he gets more than just chicken nuggets and French fries. One of my favorite ways to get vegetables into him {and his sister} is to mix them with some of their favorite foods. That is how I created these turkey, spinach and macaroni bites.

Macaroni and Cheese bites mixed with healthy spinach and protein packed turkey. This is a great kid friendly food!

White Cheddar Macaroni and Cheese with Hot Dogs

October 24, 2014 By Shannah Coe 1 Comment

Hot dogs play a big role at meal time in our household because our kids {especially our son} loves them. So, I am excited to partner with Hillshire Brands™ and the Mom It Forward Blogger Network for this post. As always, while I may have been compensated, all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.

Kids are funny when it comes to their eating habits. Mine focus on a few specific items and that is all they want to eat for weeks at a time. Then, they don’t like it anymore…at least until they tire of whatever they moved on to. Two thins that never get rejected are hot dogs and macaroni and cheese. To make my life easier, I just typically combine them and make a dish like white cheddar macaroni and cheese with hot dogs. It is always a win!

Sausage and Pepper One Pot Pasta Recipe

July 1, 2014 By Shannah Coe 4 Comments

In my dreams, summer is a time to slow down and relax.  Days are spent lounging by the pool and nights are spent with delicious dinners on the deck. I’m a good dreamer, right? Reality is far different around here. Gymnastics practices are longer, camp carpools are added into the mix and getting dinner on the table becomes so much harder.  Oh, add the heat into that mix and turning on an oven or stove and cooking just loses its luster. That is where the beauty of something like this sausage and pepper one pot pasta comes into play.  It is one pot and a meal that cooks in under thirty minutes. Sound too goo to be true? Well,  you definitely aren’t dreaming 🙂

One pot is all this recipe takes to make an amazing pasta dish the whole family will love.

Kid Friendly Food: Meatloaf Muffins

June 12, 2013 By Shannah 17 Comments

Kids are a funny bunch. They can be the pickiest eaters on the planet and forget trying to get them to eat any vegetables. These kid friendly meatloaf muffins are a perfect way to make a classic dinner more kid friendly! 

My kids love finger foods of just about any type.  I decided to try and make a few of favorite homemade meals into a more kid friendly size.  When the macaroni and cheese “cupcakes” were such a big hit, I decided to try turning our regular meatloaf into little muffins. {You can call them cupcakes if you want because most kids will eat anything that is called a cupcake.}

Flashback: Frozen Yogurt Bites

April 15, 2013 By Shannah 7 Comments

With spring {finally} here, I’ve been planning to make these frozen yogurt bites and store them in the freezer for a fun snack for the kids.  Ever since we discovered them last year, they are a favorite in our house.

***********************************************

I’ve been kind of busy around here so I haven’t spent quite as much time on Pinterest as I usually do. One thing caught my eye recently though…you might have seen it:

My little ones L-O-V-E yogurt so I thought this would be a fantastic summer treat for them that was also fairly healthy. So, I thought it would be a perfect candidate for a Pinterest projects feature.
