It’s Sunday and I tried three new recipes this week.
Kool-Aid Slushie – For the summer the girls get to cook something on their own (with me lurking around) so we tried a recipe from the community blog MomAdvice. The girls love getting slushies at the gas station/market so they were excited to make one of their own. All we needed was ice, water, sugar, and a kook-aid packet. It tasted good and I would say the girls’ favorite was to use their funky straws to drink it. You can guarantee that we will be making them again. Give it a try. (Family rating: 👍 👍 👍)
Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken – This recipe comes from my favorite cooking blog Damn Delicious. You can see in the picture that I partnered this with broccoli cheese quinoa. The meal was a success and I have to say fixing bone-in chicken thighs are actually quite easy to cook when you do a one-pan skillet meal. Give it a try. (Family Rating: 👍 👍👍)
Blueberry Dump Cake – We had some blueberries floating around and I saw a recipe for a dump cake on Pinterest. Now that recipe used a box cake mix which I try to avoid if I can (I prefer making things from scratch when I can) and I avoid cinnamon since Little is allergic. After doing some research I figured out a way to make one from scratch. This thing was YUMMY and I will definitely remake with other seasonal fruit. (Family rating: 👍 👍 👍)
