DIETITIAN APPROVED BAKING RECIPES TO ENJOY WITH THE FAMILY THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
The Holiday’s are about spending time with friends and families, spreading Christmas cheer, and of course indulging in delicious baked goods. Around the holiday season I like to bake – a lot – some on my own, and some with my kids! I’ve always found baking really therapeutic–especially recipes that my mom and grandma taught me how to make. And this year I’m needing an extra dose of therapy, it being my first as a single mom.
If you find joy in holiday baking as much as I do, and love getting your kids into the kitchen, you’ll enjoy these 15 delicious dietitian-approved holiday treat recipes. Not only does baking together create those nice warm fuzzy memories for your kids, but it’s also great quality time together and teaches them about moderation (and grows their culinary skills!). Enjoy 🙂
![[EASY SLOWCOOKER RECIPE]🥘
Now that my 3 kids are back to school, and activities are in full swing, it’s SO important as a busy mom, that I have nutritious and easy-to-prepare dinners ready to go on weeknights. I often turn to my slowcooker, because I can toss the ingredients in after school drop off and not worry about it for the rest of the day! Even better? When the slow cooker meal is so delicious that my kids devour it!🙌
I love that this recipe makes 6-7 servings, so that we can make it last for two meals. You can also double it to make it last longer, and freeze the leftovers for future busy nights!😉
[AD]As a dietitian, I also love that this recipe is nutritionally balanced, and contains Canadian-raised chicken! And I’m excited to feature it here to help celebrate National Chicken Month👇
