7 Back-to-School Dishes That Kids Can Help Make

Image
In the throes of back-to-school chaos, assembling even the most-basic dishes can feel like a chore. The best way to beat the clock while keeping mealtime healthy? Share your food prep responsibilities with the whole family — even the youngest members. The chefs in Food Network Kitchen have been busy dreaming up light, wholesome alternatives to the prepackaged meals we tend to fall back on during the busy transition from summer to fall. Most importantly, they’re easy enough for kids to help prepare — and enticing enough for them to want to eat. You’ll have breakfast on the table in 20 minutes with Food Network Kitchen’s wholesome take on classic eggs-in-the-hole , which calls for a modest dose of Parmesan cheese and crumbled bacon, adding flavor and texture for few extra calories. Make the morning even easier on yourself by allowing the kids to butter the bread, cut out the center holes and crack the eggs. While your little ones help with breakfast, you’ll be free to start packing up

High-Intensity Partner Running & Kettlebell Workout

Image
Hey, hey! If you haven’t entered already, pop over to my giveaway for a chance to win a sports bra of your choice from the Moving Comfort Collection at Brooks! My friends at Brooks recently offered to send the special guy in my life a full new running outfit since he’s a huge part of my “support system” when it comes to my running. (Mal is also training for a half marathon right now, so new running apparel and sneakers couldn’t have come at a better time!) And since Mal and I are big fans of exercising together, I thought a partner workout would be the perfect way to showcase his new gear. This workout is super “easy” in the sense that it’s made up of only two movements (running + kettlebell swings), requires just one piece of equipment (a kettlebell), and you can do it just about anywhere. The main goal (for both you and your partner) is to acquire 100 kettlebell swings EACH. Here’s how it works : Partner A runs 200 meters while Partner B performs as many kettlebell swings as

Back To Fall Shopping

This post is sponsored by thredUP When I was younger my mom would always take us back-to-school shopping. We usually had a budget but we could pick the store where we wanted to shop. For me that was the Limited Too (until the whole store turned into glitter!), followed by Abercrombie & Fitch (until the shorts were so short I couldn’t wear them), then onto LOFT, Gap, and J. Crew in later years. If we are lucky, sometimes mom  sends us a check in the mail to put towards a new outfit for fall! (Crossing fingers for 2016!) I always get excited about the changing seasons because I uncover either my warm or cold weather wardrobe. Often I have bought things on sale at the end of the previous season that I don’t remember and find them by surprise. I also try to clean out my current season clothes and consign or giveaway anything I didn’t wear that year. And managing a growing child’s clothes?! That’s a huge challenge in itself. thredUP is the perfect solution for buying or sellin

Few things scream AUTUMN the way a nice, warm cuppa does. Doesn’t matter if it’s coffee, hot chocolate or even a pumpkin steamer. If it’s chilly out and I’m wearing boots and sweaters, I darn well… Read more → from The Gracious Pantry http://ift.tt/2cEwmzb
