Prep+Pared from Kroger - Citrus Garlic Chicken Saute

Image
The past month has included some tough moments for our family. My daughter has had three back to back ear infections. My son had a stomach virus and I've been a basket case worrying about them! Today in life we always seem busy although I'm also very firm on the belief that we make time for the things that are important in our lives. I'm sure we all have those people in our lives that always claim to be so busy but instead of getting continuously frustrated I've realized that apparently we  are not that important to them. Even with all these busy times with my own family including getting my kids well we have always made time for family and the important things. Some of my short cuts during the busy times are easy dinners. I have a few I always keep in my arsenal of grocery and pantry items. Kroger has now introduced an easy and quick option for dinner called Prep+Pared. I've received a ton of coupons in the mail for the mail order dinner subscriptions. I've l...

Flat Iron Steak with Veggie Sauté 

Image
Another yummy meal created with the help of Kroger's Prep+Pared meals. This was my husbands favorite. I felt on top of my health game making and eating this meal. The great long term advantage of making these meals are that you get to keep the recipe card that lists the ingredients and the recipe instructions which allows you to easily recreate the meal. I'm most definitely keeping this recipe and plan to make again. My kids ate the steak and the veggies (carrots and cauliflower). For this recipe I added a bit more butter to what was called for and added in some minced garlic when tossing the veggies together. Last week was tough for me when I found out about the news in Santa Fe HS. This hit too close to home and has shaken me to my core. I'm so protective of my children and cannot imagine the pain those families and affected kids are feeling right now. I do not know the answer and I think we as a community have more questions that answers. We live in a scary world o...

Watermelon Popsicles 🍉

Image
Summer fun is here and these will add to those fun, hot days!! 🍉🍉 I actually got this idea from my kids' school. During the summer they surprise the kids with healthful treats while they get all sweaty on the playground. They are very easy to make and also add to the life span of the watermelon. Watermelons are huge and unless you are going to party or serving to a large group of people its hard to consume the whole thing before it goes bad. So get your pen and pad out cause these are AMAZING! I start with washing the skin of a whole seedless watermelon. I then slice into one inch circles. I then cut into triangles like a pizza. The skin on watermelon is pretty thick so I use my knife to make a slit-cut in the skin to then insert a popsicle stick. You can use regular popsicle sticks or if I could find the thick thumb prints ones- those are my preferred choice. Place in freezer safe bag or container and place in freezer. When ready to enjoy just take out of freezer to enjoy....
