My little dollie...She makes the kitchen feel fun!

My little dollie...She makes the kitchen feel fun! 💛But, seriously it’s not all fun and games when letting the kids help. So I usually reserve this for the weekends when patience and time are in my favor as I want this time spent with the kids to be positive. If I’m in a “mood” (my kids word for me, lol), hurry or tired it’s not going to end well.Here’s some of the ways I let the kids help out:
🍋 using the lemon press
🥬 washing, drying and tearing lettuce
🥚 cracking eggs...not always without shells, lol.
🥑 smashing avo
🧄 pressing garlic
🍌 slicing bananas, and other soft fruit
🥗 assembling the salad
☕️ Making the coffee with both drip and nespresso machine
🍆 spiralizing
🍍 adding ingredients to vitamix for smoothie
🍪 Making cookies
🧇 loading the waffle iron
🍽 setting table which they actually don’t like. Lol.Love to know how you let your kids be involved.And tbh, 2/3 my kids like kitchen time. Guess which one doesn’t? (He also happens to be turning 13 in Feb) 😂😂

Brighten up your weekend with my favorite lemony p

Brighten up your weekend with my favorite lemony poppyseed scone🍋! It’s like an elevated muffin, lol! The cashew glaze is SO yum as well.💛 You could also swap the lemons for oranges, limes or a combo of all 3. Why not?!🍊Baking is always on my weekend agenda, makes all of us happy!Lemon-Poppy Seeds Scones

• Zest of 2 medium lemons
• ¾ cup chilled coconut oil
• ¾ cup full fat coconut milk
LEMON GLAZE
• Juice and zest of a lemon
• ½ cup raw cashews – soaked for one hour
• ¼ cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons almond milk
Direction:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. In a large bowl mix the whole-wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, poppy seeds and lemon zest.

4. Add in the coconut milk and mix to form dough.
5. Transfer the dough onto a well-floured surface and shape into an 8” disc.
6. Slice into 8 triangles and arrange them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
7. Bake for 15-18 minutes. Check at 15 minutes and if the top is slightly golden brown and the corners are crisp, they are ready.
