    • Need a delicious one-pot meal made with mostly pantry staples? Heck yeah you do! 🙌🏻 This One-Pot Pasta e Ceci (Italian for Pasta and Chickpeas) is a staple of ours that I've been making for years. Years! ⠀ ⠀ I love it because It's packed with plant-based protein, veggies, and pasta. Not to mention the kids love it, making it rarely requires a trip to the grocery store, and it reheats like a dream. 🍲🙌 ⠀ ⠀ File this one under one-pot wonders you gotta try and head to the blog or DM me for the recipe 👉@modminimalism. ⠀ •••⠀ #modernminimalism #minimalistmeals #simplefamilymeals #kidfriendly #chickpeas #dinnerrecipe #pastarecipe #healthyrecipe #healthydinnerrecipe #instayum #nomnom #eeeeeats #forkyeah #f52grams #feedfeed #mealprep #mealplanning #easyrecipes #simplifying #healthyfood #foodprep #makeahead #onepotmeal #onepotpasta #onepotmeals #vegan #vegetarian #eggfree #noaddedsugar #meatlessmonday
    • Current snack time favorites: Real milk in mini mason jars and peanut butter straight off of the spoon. ⠀ ⠀ This girl loves her healthy fats (especially peanut butter dripping off a spoon) but to this day neither of my kids will eat fish, a good source of the Omega-3 DHA that supports brain health and development.⠀ ⠀ Am I worried? Not at all. As a mom and dietitian I know it can take dozens of tries, even years for kids to develop a taste for certain foods. I also know there are other ways to get little ones the essential nutrients they need for optimal growth and development.⠀ ⠀ DHA-fortified milk is one of the easiest ways to add more DHA in your kiddo’s diet, particularly toddlers and young kids who might not be getting enough from food — which is why we recently made the switch ourselves!⠀ ⠀ What foods won’t your little one’s touch? Drop a comment below and I'll recommend a couple nutrient-rich alternatives! Visit MilkLife.com through the link in profile to learn more about the different types of real milk for you and your family. ⠀ •••⠀ @MilkLife⠀ #sponsored #milklife #lovewhatsreal #dha #toddlernutrition #babynutrition #milk #milknutritionElle
    • Easy recipes that the kids devour and basically cook themselves? #signmeup 🙋🏼‍♀️⠀ ⠀⠀ This Instant Pot Sausage and Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta has been one of our weeknight winners lately. The kids love it. The hubs loves it. And I love it — yes because it's delicious, but also because it has half the amount of sausage than most pasta dishes out there, a good amount of veggies, and the entire meal is made in the Instant Pot! 🙌⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ The recipe just hit my new(ish) blog and I'm pretty sure it's gonna break the internet some day — so you should probably just go and make it now. Head to @modminimalism and tap the link in profile for the recipe! Or just DM me and I'll send you the link. 😉😋⠀⠀ •••⠀⠀ #modernminimalism #minimalistmeals #simplefamilymeals #kidfriendly #ieatearthbound #dinnerrecipe #pastarecipe #eatingfortheinsta #healthydinnerrecipe #instantpot #instantpotrecipe #instantpotpasta #sausagerecipe #spinachrecipe #instayum #nomnom #eeeeeats #forkyeah #goodeats #mealplanning #easyrecipes #eggfree #soyfree #noaddedsugar #nutfree #kidfriendlyrecipe #kidfriendlymeal
    • What winter looks like around here: rosy cheeks, cozy throws, and lots of hot cocoa mustaches. 😊⠀ ⠀ Not surprisingly, this boy’s preferred post-sledding treat is a rich and creamy cup of hot cocoa made with real milk — in a grown-up mug of course!⠀ ⠀ I know cocoa packets are popular, but most people don’t realize how easy it is to make cocoa mix at home. Just combine equal parts cocoa powder and granulated sugar in a jar, screw the lid on, and give it a shake! ⠀ ⠀ At home, we make our cocoa with real whole milk because it’s soooo rich and creamy. But as a dietitian and mom, I also love that real milk provides satiating protein and fat, as well as nutrients that kids often fall short on like calcium, vitamin D and potassium.⠀ ⠀ This time of year I always have a jar of cocoa mix in the pantry for a quick fix on cold days. For creamy hot cocoa in under 90 seconds, just combine 1 heaping spoonful of mix + 6-8 ounces of warm whole milk. With my homemade mix I can usually get the cocoa on the counter before the winter boots even come off!⠀ ⠀ A special thanks to @Milklife for sponsoring today's post and letting us share how we enjoy real milk! 🥛 Visit the link in profile 👆🏻 to learn more about the different types of real milk for you and your family. ⠀ •••⠀ #milklife #lovewhatsreal @milklife #thisis4 #hotcocoarecipe #hotchocolaterecipe #hotchocolate #hotcocoa #milkrecipe #milk #mywestelm #cb2 @westelm @cb2 #bendoregon #toddlermomlife #wholemilk #winter❄️

    • First time meeting Santa. 😍🎅 One thing I love about this season of life is starting our own family traditions and defining how we do the holidays. Meeting Santa was magical (and surprisingly tear-free!) but we also haven't put a whole lot of emphasis on the Big Man — partly because our kids' needs and wants at this age are still minimal, but also because, when these two are grown, I know they will remember the family traditions and togetherness more than the toys. ❤️⠀ ⠀ One thing I hope to instill in our kids is that the magic of the season doesn't come from the things under the tree, but the traditions and times spent with people around it. 🥰⠀ •••⠀ #modernminimalism #minimalism #mininmalistchristmas #simpleholidays #minimalistholidays #firsttimemeetingsanta #mamahood #toddlermom #parenthoodsimplified #minimalistmama #lessismore
