Slow Cooker Tortilla Soup is one of our favorites

Slow Cooker Tortilla Soup is one of our favorites to freeze and take for #schoollunches. ◾️Simply place all the ingredients in the slow cooker and let it cook on low for 6-8 hours. ◾️Feel free to add some toppings like a squeeze of lime, shredded cheese, avocado, cilantro and of course, tortilla chips.◾️ Link in bio for the recipe!

While heading back-to-school will be a little different than normal this year, what won’t change is the fact that we will still need some quick meal ideas post-summer vacation. 🍎 Shredded chicken is an easy option that can be cooked ahead of time in large batches and frozen in smaller portions. 🐓 Use it in these delicious recipes from manitobachicken.ca, like these Grilled Chicken Lime & Cheese Quesadillas, Tropical Chicken Taquitos or Char Sui Pulled Chicken. Check out the link in my bio for how to cook & freeze shredded chicken. 🐓 How would you use your shredded chicken? 👇🏻

It took being a stay-at-home mom of three and a working mom of 4 kids under the age of 6 for me to realize that you don’t get a break from parenting unless you create space for one. ◾️ I took control and reorganized my time to manage the one thing that was consuming a huge chunk of my free time, MEAL PREP. ◾️Breakfast, clean-up, snack, clean-up, lunch, clean-up, dinner, clean-up. We spend so much of our time feeding our families, and for me personally, it was robbing me of my precious free time. ◾️Meal Planning for Busy Families is the result of 7 years of trial and error parenting and developing strategies to get my free time back. ◾️Link in my bio to sign up for this self-paced online course. ✔️ Not sure if this is for you?

Let’s just call this a Green Eggs & Ham Breakfas

Let’s just call this a Green Eggs & Ham Breakfast Sandwich. 🍳 Dill + Eggs = the best combo, so I made a small batch of dill pesto with dill from our garden. The best part? If you don’t have dill in your garden, you can make this with one bunch of each parsley and dill from the grocery store! 🌿 2 cups dill, 1 cup parsley, 1 clove garlic, 2 Tbsp sliced almonds, 2 Tbsp parm, 1/4 cup olive oil. Blend it up, scrape down the sides, add a bit more oil to loosen it up if needed, plus salt & pepper to taste. 🌿 Smear it on a toasted english muffin, with an over-easy egg and a slice of fried prosciutto. 🍳

Dining outdoors is something we do regularly if the weather is nice. ☀️ A grilled chicken burger using ground Manitoba chicken is a great option for outdoor entertaining, as it is flavorful, nutritious and can be customized in a variety of ways, from spices, to toppings to buns. 🍔 I used the Basic Burger Recipe from manitobachicken.ca 🐓 to create my own variation. #sponsoredpost 🍋 🌿 Lemon Basil Chicken Burgers 🌿 🍋 Head to the blog for the recipe as well as my tips for easy outdoor entertaining. #linkinbio ❓Have you tried manitobachicken.ca’s Basic Burger Recipe?
