As the school year kicks off, parents everywhere are back to the daily routine of packing lunches and snacks. While it’s tempting to toss in chips or sweets, a nutritious lunch doesn’t have to be boring or complicated.
With a little planning (and some help from your kids), you can pack lunches that are healthy, fun, and totally lunchbox-approved.
Try this cheesy, hot Buffalo Chicken Dip at your next party.
I refuse to believe that I am an “a-typical woman” because I love watching football. I know that there are lots of woman out there that are with me on this and are a sports fan thru and thru. With that said January means College Bowl games and NFL playoffs. There is nothing better than a gathering with friends and/or family to watch a good game of football on a big screen TV. But, no football party is complete without some super yummy snacks.
Mmm…turkey and all our favorite sides — can’t wait for Thanksgiving dinner! Of course, then there is the inevitable leftover turkey.
My kids will eat only so many turkey sandwiches, but they love these sour cream turkey enchiladas. This easy-to-make casserole will feed your family for a couple of days and it also freezes well.
Ingredients
2 cups finely chopped cooked turkey (this is a good way to use up a lot of dark meat!)
These turkey croquettes are a delicious way to reboot leftover Thanksgiving turkey. I served them with an Avocado dipping sauce (homemade guacamole) and sauteed Asparagus. They make a great meal or snack and will keep well in the refrigerator for a few days– if they last long enough that is!
