Kid's Self-Serve School Lunch Sandwich Station

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Boar’s Head. All opinions are 100% mine.
School lunch sandwich stationSchool lunch sandwich station for kids
I’ve always been a huge fan of letting my kids make their own school lunches.  I think it teaches them independence, and gives them a little more control about what they are bringing to school to eat.

When they were younger the kids would select a lot of ‘grab and go’ type foods, more like a collection of snacks than an actual lunch, but now that they are older, they are interested in bringing more ‘lunch like’ meals in their lunchboxes.

So I recently set up a sandwich making station to make it easier for them to find everything they need (and not tear up my fridge or kitchen drawers looking for everything.)

As my regular readers already know, this month I have been trying to live off the food already in my pantry and freezer, and only spend $25 per week to keep my family of 5 afloat.

This is only week one and so far I’ve had no trouble, but I did run into one stumbling block.. I wanted to make pulled pork and I had NO bottled barbecue sauce in the house! OH THE HUMANITY!

How to Make Cauliflower Rice at Home

Hey y'all!  Mandee from The Kitchen Wife here.  Its officially January and I, along with most everyone else, have made improving my overall health and fitness a priority.  One of the easiest ways we can do that is through food.  Maybe you're trying to eat low carb.  Perhaps you're gluten free.  Hey, you could just be trying to incorporate more vegetables into your diet.  No matter what your New Year's eating plan is, cauliflower rice on the menu.

I know what you're thinking, "Mandee, we've heard all this cauliflower hype before", but let me assure you we aren't talking "mashed potatoes" here.  Cauliflower rice has become my personal favorite alternative to the real thing.  In fact, I prefer it over the real thing.  But don't let the hype around this new food obsession hit your wallet at the grocery store.  Its super simple to make at home for just a fraction of the cost.  I can't wait to show you how so...

Beef and Bean Goulash Recipe

If you've been a reader of my blog The Kitchen Wife you'll know that I've been working really hard at trying to clean up my eating.  HOWEVER, I'm married to the King of Carnivores who feels that there should be nothing but meat and potatoes on the table at every meal.  So I've been trying to take many of our family favorites and make them a little healthier.  Take my Beef and Bean Goulash for Example.

Red, White and Blue Yogurt Berry Popsicles

Three Ingredient Red White and Blue Yogurt Berry Popsicles
There aren’t two things that go together much better than the Fourth of July and Popsicles.  Throw in the familiar flavor of berries and you have a trifecta of Summer!  
Raspberry blueberry yogurt popsicles
So today I am sharing how to make these SUPER EASY yogurt berry popsicles.

The funny TRUE STORY about how this recipe came about was that my 3 year old really wanted “Lightning McQueen Yogurt” (you know the kids’ yogurt in the stores with characters on the package) when we were in the grocery store one day.   Well, of course I should have known it wouldn’t matter what race car graced the packaging, he was NOT going to eat that yogurt.   I opened it and he took one bite and went with the “I don’t like dat!” reply that is ever too common these days.

So now I was stuck with a four-pack of yogurt he wasn’t going to eat.  HOWEVER.. here is the thing.. he eats frozen yogurt tubes ALL THE TIME. (You know the GoGurt type tubes, we happen to call them “squeezers” for some reason.)
