Episode 25: Christmas Preparations
Marty is back and the sisters are talking about preparing for Christmas! Where to hide gifts, social media pressures, and giving gifts because you WANT to, not out of obligation, are a few topics touched upon. We hope you give us a listen and have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Hide that Gift!
I love selecting and buying presents for Christmas. It is a ton of fun! One thing that I thought about on December 1st this year was: where to hide the presents? In our old house we had a handy tiny closet in the eave of the roof in our bedroom. It had a lock on it to keep the kids out and all the presents fit safe and sound in there. I was struck with brilliance last week as I thought about where to stash them this year in our new house. SUITCASES. I wanted to hide the gifts in our large walk in master closet, but the kids think it’s fun to play in there sometimes. In looking around the closet my husband’s large suitcase presented itself (see what I did there) as a great spot to hide the gifts! I filled another suitcase as well and it is no longer a worry that they’ll discover them! My sister is an overachiever and wraps gifts as she buys them, so there isn’t even a need to hide them. Another suggestion I have is an empty Rubbermaid storage container or garbage bag that can be placed on a high shelf. Good luck to everyone trying to keep little hands away from their Christmas treasures!
Episode 24: The Mom-terview
Marty is absent this episode due to work commitments, but she prepared almost all of these great questions for our mom! We wanted to ask about some of the differences between being a young mother in the world of social media and being a young mother in the world of VCRs, Nintendo Gameboys, and butterfly hairclips.
5 Quick Dinners
Since we talked about cooking with kids on the podcast I’ve been thinking about doing a post with some of my favorite quick dinners! I am always looking for new meals for our family that are fast, healthy-ish, and kid-friendly. I definitely rotate some of the same dishes, and that’s okay, but sometimes you just need a new and different meal!
- Mexican quinoa: Okay this sounds weird, right? But I promise it is delicious, healthy, and my kids eat it! The original recipe is vegetarian and can be vegan without cheese and sour cream (which is how I serve it to my dairy-allergic 5 yr old.)
- Broccoli Rice Casserole: I love this dish. It isn’t actually a casserole because you make it on the stovetop, but it tastes like one! The cheese goes on at the very end, so it is easy to serve dairy free as well.
- Chicken fajitas: When I was a kid, my mom made chicken fajitas with a spice mix from the grocery store and we liked them well enough. These are so much better! (Sorry, mom.) This recipe tastes like it took forever but it’s pretty quick. I’ve definitely marinated the chicken for less time than it states and it is still wonderful!
- Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowls: This has been my favorite since making it this past summer. My husband loves it as lettuce wraps. I scoop out some of the plain chicken and veggies before adding the sauce and the kids eat that!
- Mini Mexican pizzas: This is a fun recipe! I use black beans instead of refried beans.
I only included meals that are made easily while managing the kids. Not too many elements, and pretty hard to screw up. The fajitas are particularly great because you can make a bunch and have leftovers over the next days: fajita wraps, salads, or over rice. I hope one of these becomes your new favorite go-to for feeding your family! I would love to see one of your quick dinner recipes in the comments!
Episode 23: Cooking with Kids
Marty and Priscilla chat about cooking with kids: how stressful it is to get a meal on the table while caring for your little ones and how fun it CAN be to cook with your children. They might (okay, they WILL) make a mess, but the memory is worth it!
