Get ready, y’all – this Instant Pot Blueberry Vanilla Oatmeal is about to make your life sooo much easier.
Is it just me or do kids eat five times as much at breakfast than at any other meal?
I wake up in the mornings, just tryin’ to have my cup of coffee and snuggle up on the couch for a little bit… but my kids are ready for a full-on 5-course feast, complete with carving station and made-to-order omelet bar.
It’s no secret that the Instant Pot is one of my absolute favorite things on the planet. That’s because there are SO many kid-friendly Instant Pot recipes for moms to choose from!
Maybe this is a weird statement to make as a food(ish) blogger, but mealtime is probably my least favorite time of the day as a mom. Surely I’m not alone in that, right?
Getting a toddler to actually eat a full meal is a battle to begin with. Finding a meal that is actually acceptable to a picky toddler, and offers them some form of nutrition is its own struggle. And having the time and space to actually cook that meal is a whole ‘nother level.
That’s where the Instant Pot comes in to save the day!
Being able to make the perfect chocolate chip cookies has always been weirdly important to me.
I blame it on Monica from Friends (see Season 7, Episode 3, “The One with Phoebe’s Cookies” or my recipe for Phoebe’s Grandma’s Chocolate Chip Cookies for more details on that), but that’s beside the point.
I feel like chocolate chip cookies really are the ultimate staple in any mom’s arsenal.
It’s finally dipped below 90 degrees in Texas, and that means… chili weather – Smoky Turkey Chili weather, to be exact!
Although, if I’m really being honest, every weather is chili weather as far as I’m concerned. This Smoky Turkey Chili recipe is too dang good to only eat during the 3 months of the year Texas has “cold” weather.
When making dinner for toddlers, there’s really only ONE factor that matters:
What the food looks like.
You could be serving them a culinary masterpiece of chocolate-covered mac ‘n cheese, but if they spot a speck of something green or ~spicy~, they won’t touch it with a 10-foot pole.
These Mini BBQ Bacon Turkey Meatloaves totally fit the “kid-friendly” bill, because they. are. ADORABLE.
