Chips and Salsa around the Pool

Chips and salsa taste so much better with a little chlorine (and Dad around ALL day)! PS- This picture was supposed to show pineapple, mango, and watermelon sprinkled with lime juice and sea salt but it was gone by the time I got my camera. Amazing!

Tupperware Snacks

Heading out on a road trip with my four girls this morning and borrowed an idea from my brilliant friend @sarabato. Each child gets their own Tupperware to fill with their favorite snacks for the car ride so there is no fighting, complaining, or sharing needed over the next 5 hours!

Valentine Ice Cream Sandwiches

One more super simple Valentine treat that the kiddos loved making. Your favorite mini cookies (TJs has the best selection). Use a melon baller to scoop your favorite ice cream between each cookie. Smoosh and roll in sprinkles. Freeze before serving.

Road Trip Snacks

Pool Snacks

Thank you Costco for making pool time snacking so much easier and healthier this summer!

Go-To Travel Snacks

Traveling is not an excuse to eat (not worth it) junk food. Save those calories for the good stuff and plan ahead!

Mini Pretzel Snickers

I totally fall for all of the National Food Days! So, for national junk food day, here you go! Mini pretzels Bite size snickers Peanut Butter Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips Stack a mini snicker on one pretzel and put in a 300 degree oven to melt a little (not too much). Add a little peanut butter on second pretzel and top snicker with it. Let cool in fridge and dip half of pretzel in melted semi-sweet chocolate. Refrigerate until serving. Stick to one or two at the most and you’re golden. Give the rest to a neighbor or friend who needs some cheering up!

Protein Poppers

Batches and batches of protein poppers at our house today. I’m addicted and so is everyone in my family, so we make a lot to keep in the freezer for easy popping! Combine, roll into 1 inch balls, and freeze. 1 C Old Fashioned Oats 1 C Steel Cut Oats 1 C Rice Crispy Cereal 1 C Nut Butter (I use natural peanut butter) 1 C ground flax seed 1/2 C Coconut flakes 2/3 C mini chocolate chips 3/4 C honey 1 tsp vanilla extract 2 TB coconut oil (optional)
