✨✨✨New Recipe ✨✨✨ . Black Bean Garlic Sauce Marinade . Tastes really good on beef ribs. This marinade would work on all sorts of proteins, pan fried vegetables, and noodles! . I like to use a grated pear to tenderize beef. I discard the skin. If this recipe isn’t sweet enough then use brown sugar. . Enjoy 😊 . . . . . #marinade #beef #blackbeangarlicsauce #meat #weightlossrecipes #recipes #pear #dinner #lunch #appetizers #food #foodie #eat #familydinner #love

What to do with Plastic Eggs? . Here are some ideas to “recycle” them 🙂 and get them to move on by Halloween. . 1. Special Treats Around the House After Easter, we would fill the eggs with goldfish, fruit snacks, nuts, raisins, and Cheerios. They would be hidden around the house and when our son, Rayden, found them he would have little sparks of happiness throughout the day. I mean who doesn’t want to find free food? . 2. Learning ABC’s and 1-2-3’s My husband and I bought some letter and number magnets from Amazon. Originally they were going to be placed on the refrigerator. However, they were small enough to fit in the plastic eggs. Rayden and I would often take the eggs out of a basket, he would have fun popping the eggs open, and then the letter/number would be revealed. The magnets were in different colors so we would say the color, too. . 3. Goodie Bags Putting a $1 item in the eggs and then giving them to friends at a birthday party is fun. The kids always want to know what’s inside! . 4. Play Dates I would leave these out for the kids to play with amongst the rest of the toys. The kids would play with them however they wanted (cooking, hiding, tossing, talking on a speaker phone, painting at the arts and crafts table, etc.) and use their imaginations. . and lastly, 5. Trick or Treat? Fill the eggs with a piece of candy and a Halloween sticker. Leave them mixed with a bunch of candies and see which kids dare to be tricked or treated. I had actually thought of filling some of them with rocks and a piece of paper saying, “Haha! You’ve been tricked!”, but that’s how you lose friends and not have nice things. By the time we got back from trick-or-treating the large container we had left outside was almost empty and the plastic eggs were all gone. Woohoo! . Hope you all had a great Halloween. 🎃🎃🎃🎃. Now it’s Thanksgiving time. I’ve got to think of a nice Thanksgiving recipe for you all ☺️. . . #plastic #plasticeggs #eggs #candy #trickortreat #halloween #party #playdate #toddler #play #fun #happy

Our son had his 3rd birthday celebration this past weekend. The theme was pretty much a play date on steroids. Haha! . . Lots of toys, food, people, music, and indoor/outdoor play. The kids found a shovel and soon there were construction toys, buckets and a dirt track all over the patio. It was awesome! . . We kept our doors open from 10 AM - 3 PM with the birthday song and cupcakes scheduled for noon. People could come and go as they pleased and celebrate around soccer games, other activities, and various nap times. While the kids played the parents could sit, chat, and eat. . . When it was all over Jeff and I could really take our time cleaning up (I finally cleaned the dishes two days later) and opening up presents. . . Here’s a party idea for cupcakes/cake. We had 3 different flavors covered with homemade buttercream (so easy to make and dangerously delicious) and made these platters so the kids could decorate their own cup cakes. So much fun! 🥳 . . Side note: Go to your local dollar store to purchase platters, plates, and serving utensils. Nice and easy on the budget. 😎 . . . . #treehousecooking #party #platters #partyplatter #birthday #birthdayparty #birthdaypartyideas #cookingfortoddlers #toddlers #cupcakes #playdate #play #food #sweets #fruit #candy #cookies #desserts #partylife #fun #love #happy

✨✨✨✨NEW RECIPE ✨✨✨✨ . . Avocado and Roasted Chicken Sandwich with Wasabi Mayonnaise: . . Ingredient List . . Bread (Your Choice) A handful of Mixed Greens 1 Tomato Roasted Chicken 1 Avocado Balsamic Vinaigrette Wasabi Mayonnaise Pink Himalayan Salt and Black Pepper Scallions . . I like to use this condiment, wasabi mayonnaise, to dip sushi, french fries, and chips in. I’ll even add some on the side of my ramen or noodle dishes when I need a kick in the taste buds. I really like it in this sandwich, though: Avocado and Roasted Chicken. All the flavors pair well together and the heat and flavor from the wasabi is not overwhelming. Enjoy! . . . . #yummy #chickenrecipes #roastedchicken #recipes #recipeideas #lunchideas #dinnerideas #sandwiches #followme #love #food #wasabi #wasabimayo #cooking #cookingforkids #cookingforfamily #good #thenewhealthy #healthyrecipes #yum #eat #haveagoodday

So, what if you’re tired, not feeling well, including your kid(s), your spouse, your dog, cat, neighbors and their kids? Yet you still need to cook something to make you all better? My go-to are using noodles in chicken, bone, vegetable, and miso broths. Soothing, warming, and delicious. Very simple to cook and you can add all sorts of toppings. • • This soup is boiled chicken, with seasoned asparagus (salt, pepper, garlic powder), and one of those udon noodle packets that you can find at the commissary. Let everything cook together and add roasted sesame seeds. • • Enjoy and I hope you feel better soon. 😷😊✨✨✨✨🍵 . . . . . #treehousecooking #feelbetter #soup #noodles #asparagus #chickennoodlesoup #thenewhealthy #getwellsoon #homecooking #cookingforfamily #cookingfortoddlers #cookingforkids #udon #udonnoodles #easyrecipes #green #recipes

Need a side dish? Green beans pan fried with butter, salt, celery seed, and dried basil is amazing. Try it this weekend 🤩✨✨✨ Yum! . . . . #greenbeans #sidedish #panfried #vegetables #healthyrecipes #delicious #deliciousfood #green #greenfood #eat #recipes #homecooking #familycooking #mealprepideas #mealprep #tastytasty #tastyrecipes
