Practicality and joy in the kitchen and home 📝🏠✨

Such an oldie but goodie. (Also, “plop” is a very technical term, used both as a noun and a verb 🤣) Y’all, so easy. And so fast! Only 1 time in the freezer! Basically, you melt chocolate (any kind you like) and pour it into a silicone muffin pan or pan with muffin liners (LINERS ARE A MUST IF NOT USING SILICONE PAN!) Next, you plop peanut butter in (natural works best bc it’s more runny). You can also mix a harder peanut butter with some melted coconut oil to get it smooth. Give each cup a quick swirl with a fork. Pop them in the freezer to harden for 30 minutes, then enjoy! Store in the fridge for around 2 weeks (I doubt they will last that long!) *MIX IT UP!* Before freezing, try topping with... sea salt, or crumbled oreo, or m&m’s, or sprinkles, whatever your heart desires!! created by Kate Strickler with Kate Strickler's original sound

3 INGREDIENT AT HOME PUMPKIN COLD FOAM 🎃
{LARGE BATCH EDITION}

1 c heavy cream
1 tbs maple syrup
1/3 c pumkin puree
(Optional) cinnamon or nutmeg
*also free free to add more maple syrup or pumpkin. Make it your own. Be free, go wild!

Blend in a blender for 10-20 seconds. Too long and it turns to whipped cream! If you blend to long, just add little water and it will thin out again.

Store in the fridge for a solid week to 10 days.

ENJOY!
We absolutely love the giant jar of pesto from Costco, but we never use it in time. Enter: freezing it into cubes! I use a silicone ice cube tray and it freezes like a dream. Store in a ziplock and grab out what you need when you need it. 1=2 cubes is perfect for a batch of pasta and same goes for pizza or a sandwich spread. You can defrost on the counter in about an hour, throw a frozen cube directly into the hot pasta, or stick it in the microwave for around 30 seconds. However you enjoy it, hope this helps you waste less pesto!
If your child loves PB&J and you don’t love making them daily, remember that they are a great thing to make in bulk and FREEZE! Just stick it in their lunchbox and it’ll defrost fairly quickly while they are at school.

When I shared this in stories I figured it was something everyone but me already knew, but I have gotten so many messages over the last week of it helping others I wanted it to have a permanent spot here.
One of my best tips for having homemade cookies anytime you want them is to double (or triple!) the recipe and ❄️FREEZE THAT DOUGH ❄️

You’re already lugging out the mixer and doing all the work. Might as well get some amazing dough for another day out of it! I freeze on a cookie sheet into ready to bake balls and once they are hard I transfer to any freezer safe ziploc. Pull out what you need when the craving strikes. My party trick is popping some in the oven during the meal when we have friends over for dinner…always a huge hit and takes very little effort 🍪👏🏼

(This particular recipe is from the Take It Easy Cookbook from @whatsgabycookin but you can do it with just about any cookie recipe you have).
One of my favorite things to do to welcome the kids home from school is to have a snack waiting for them. Even better if it’s in a muffin tin! It’s fun and can provide so much variety.

TWO TIPS:
⏰an alarm goes off daily about 20 minutes before the kids get home. This helps me keep track of time and finish up anything I am working on, and also is a reminder should I want to do a snack tray.
🍋Lemon juice on apple slices keeps them from browning 🙌🏼

I absolutely love @snackbacktonature for basically all of their snack options! The cheddalicious are my personal favorites and I decided to add crackers to pair with the cheese and fudge stripe cookies for a little something special on this board. No matter what I choose, I know anything from Back To Nature is going to be simple and tasty and makes getting my kids a fun snack after school or item in their lunch so much easier.

And the classic cream cookies? Don’t even get me started. I keep those just for me!
God continues to show me these glimpses where so much work and patience and, in this case, sweat in places I didn’t even know you could sweat, pay off in the simplest, sweetest of rewards.

8/26/2023…a weekend highlight and parenting moment I won’t soon forget 💕🚲
If NTK goes under, consider this my Broadway audition.
Parenting is hard and parenting is awesome 🫶🏼
Some thoughts on online curation. This is always helpful for me to remember, and it was especially so seeing it played out in my own kitchen! Our homes are tools meant to serve us, and the more I can lean into that the more I can enjoy it and use it, not be obsessed with it looking pristine.
I know I’m late as summer trips wind down but save this for the next time you pack up and leave town. I swear every time I come back I realize things I have had for years and never use 🤔 it’s those fresh post-vacation simplicity eyes!

I have decided if I come across a small tip in the kitchen that might help someone else, no matter how obvious it seems, I am going to share it. Would you believe I just learned this two summers ago!? I asked mom how the heck she got rosemary off the stem so easily and she showed be and it blew my mind 🤯 #Bertatip . We are always learning ❤️

Here’s how I make sure we use and don’t waste all those giant blocks of @costco cheese 🧀

NOTES:
I move cheese from freezer to fridge to defrost. You can use it frozen on a casserole or in a quesadilla no problem.

I throw a parm rind frozen into soup/spaghetti sauce.

Most hard cheese is good in the freezer for 6-8 months!
