: Life is hard. God is good. We need each other.
There’s no one definition of a picky eater, but I think we can safely agree that plain wins the day. These simple recipes tend to go over well and can be customized.
Do you have picky eaters?
If so then you, like me, are skeptical of lists that claim to be “kid friendly”. It’s especially offensive to click a link promising “10 recipes your picky eaters will devour” only to find it full of recipes with ingredients many adults I know wouldn’t even eat.
Chickpeas, really?
Do you worry that you’re not doing everything you should in the parenting arena? If not, my first question is…are you lying?
After all, we all have our own variety of parenting fears.
But one question I think all parents ask themselves is, “Am I doing enough?” And the answer to all of our worries is: No, we probably should be doing more.
Right? But that doesn’t mean that we’re not doing enough.
And some of the simplest ways we can improve our parenting may look overly simple. Things like: baking with your kids.
My eldest son really enjoys a good pun. On a road trip with his cousin, he found lists of puns to read to help keep her awake while she drove. I think what really kept her awake was the shaking of her head as she begged him to stop.
This one’s for all of the pun lovers out there.
Enjoy!
Teaching a Biblical worldview matters! Kids are leaving their faith at astounding rates. How long is it going to take for us to recognize the seeds that produce this fruit & start planting something different?
I heard a story recently about a young man who was out in his father’s watermelon field working, with strict instructions not to eat any of the fruit. Giving in to temptation, he attempted to hide the evidence by burying the remains off in another part of the field. He was sure he’d gotten away with it until his father noticed watermelons growing where they didn’t belong. The evidence was irrefutable. Undeniable. Once the fruit appeared, the son could not hide that he had buried the seeds in just that place.
Have you tried to find new ways to motivate your struggling reader? If so, the phrase, “wit’s end” has probably come to mind.
I tutor students each week who need a little extra help. Right now my clients include kids from kindergarten through 7th grade, and I am always looking for new tools to benefit them. I find that anytime I pull out my tablet or laptop, the kids are more engaged.
The problem is, although I’ve found some useful games to work on sight words, spelling, and math, none of them are targeted to my individual students. Nor have I found anything that seems to be designed specifically with struggling students in mind.
Until now.
This summer I’ve been using Nessy Learning with 5 of my students, and I am head over heels!
When I got word that my Chick-fil-A Mom Panel was being tasked with creating recipes for kids I knew just the little sweetie I wanted to help me make mine. After all, my kids are teenagers, and one is officially an adult (yikes!) so they don’t really qualify to help me out with ‘kids’ recipes. If you have littles, like my friend Scarlett here, you’ll want to work with them on this recipe. But if your kids are a bit older, this is totally something they could do on their own.
