This Instant Pot Crack Chicken Pasta recipe has been in the works for a long time now, y’all – and it’s finally ready!

See, for years now, my Instant Pot Crack Chicken recipe has been the most popular recipe on this site. And I totally understand why – it’s my family’s favorite recipe, too.

Boiled peanuts tend to be a polarizing snack food, in my experience – people either love ’em or hate ’em. Obviously, I fall into the “love ’em” camp, or this Instant Pot Boiled Peanuts recipe wouldn’t exist!

Ok, y’all, I just discovered these easy Ritz Cracker Salmon Patties for kids, and I don’t know how I’ve made it through 5 years of motherhood without them!

If you’ve ever attempted a dairy-free diet, you know it’s no easy task. Milk products and derivatives hide in the most unsuspecting places, so nearly everything feels off-limits.

So when I had to go dairy-free while breastfeeding my dairy-intolerant daughter 2 years ago, letting go of some of my favorite Trader Joe’s items was painful. No more Turkey Corn Dogs? Or Hatch Chile Mac & Cheese? No more Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches?!

Of course, over time, I discovered a whole new slew of Trader Joe’s favorites that fit right in with a dairy-free or even vegan lifestyle. And just in time for me to go dairy-free again for my son, who also has a dairy intolerance (it’s my curse in life).

You wouldn’t think it would be hard to choose gifts for toddlers, but surprisingly… it is! There are so many options for gifts – books, toys, activities, etc. – and it’s hard to know what’s going to be an annoying, quickly forgotten toy, and what will be a fun, long-lasting gift.

But rest assured, everything on this list is tried and true by a real toddler and preschooler. These are the toys that my 2.5-year-old and almost 5-year-old either already have and love, or are getting this year.
