Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 boxed brownie mix, prepared
  • 1 package waffle bowls
  • 1 package melting chocolate
  • 1 package vanilla ice cream
  • Sprinkles
  • Chocolate syrup
  • Cherries
  • 3.5 inch round cookie cutter

Instructions

  1. Prepare brownies according to package instructions and cut out round pieces to fit inside a waffle bowl using a around 3.5 inch cookie cutter.
  2. Prepare the waffle bowls by melting the chocolate according to package instructions. Place the melted chocolate in a shallow bowl that is wide enough to dip the top of the waffle bowls in. Dip each bowl into the melted chocolate and sprinkle sprinkles around the edge while the chocolate is still warm. Set the bowls aside to allow the chocolate to set.
  3. When the chocolate on the bowl has hardened, place the round brownie pieces inside each bowl.
  4. Top the brownie with a scoop of ice cream. Drizzle chocolate syrup over the ice cream and top with additional sprinkles and a cherry.

Notes

Tip: make sure the brownies are under-baked. Overcooked brownies will make eating the sundae difficult to eat without breaking the waffle bowl.

Want a savory dinner recipe the family can enjoy? These Easy Indian Dinner Recipes are second to naan. Perfect your favorite and the most popular Indian foods in your kitchen. Tested, tried and true!

Easy Indian Dinner Recipes

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that the country of India is apart of both my husband’s and my heart. It’s kind of shocking if you look at both of us. My husband has no idea how many generations back his American family goes and I am a first generation American with a Cuban born father. Why India?

Well my husband spent almost a year living in India. Once, with Campus Crusade for Christ another time with work. The people became a part of his heart and before we got married, I promised him I would take a trip over there. It took our 5th wedding anniversary for me to finally got there but instantly our hearts had another thing in common, our love for India and it’s people.

Because of that love, a common Google search for our family (okay really me, because I am the cook) …

What should I eat for dinner tonight Indian?

If you want to take your taste buds on a trip across the world, enjoy  some of the most popular Indian recipes. I’ve gathered some of our family’s favorite easy Indian dinner recipes so you too can enjoy flavorful Indian spices of cumin, clove, cinnamon, turmeric, coriander, and cayenne. Use these fun recipes for your family or at your next dinner party.

Indian Spices Tip: a few things you should know about Indian spices 1.) Indian dishes use a lot of spices, so buy in bulk or large quantities. 2.) Quality Indian spices on line are not cheap. Look around, but don’t be intimated by the sticker price. Trust me, the flavor is worth it! I personally like the Rani Brand Spices.


What is the most popular food in India?

One important fact about India is there is a northern and southern region and Indian cuisine can vary by locations. The difference between southern and northern Indian food? North Indian food get’s it’s influence from countries it borders and includes thick curries, kebobs including chicken and lamb as common meats. Southern Indian food is vegetarian-focused with lentils, beans, vegetables, and rice. Southern Indian recipes have coastal influences like fish and shrimp as well as touches of coconut milk thinning out curries.

Best Indian food for dinner

Common Indian foods for dinner include…

  • Butter Chicken
  • Naan Bread
  • Biryani
  • Tandoori Chicken
  • Tikka Masala
  • Aloo Gobi
  • Chicken Korma
  • Lamb Curry
  • Red Lentil Dal
  • Chivda
  • Besan Ladoo

Let’s get started with these easy dinner recipes for families. Don’t worry, we will find things that aren’t too spicy but are spicy enough. These are Indian dishes are second to naan (insert pun). We have used in our home with our kids from as little as 9 months. They will be loved by kids and adults, for your immediate family and guests.

Easy Indian Recipes with Chicken

I really appreciate crock-pot Indian dinner recipes. It allows time for the Indian spices to simmer in the meats. This flavorful Slow Cooker Butter Chicken recipes is made with cauliflower. It is delicious, low carb, and a keto-friendly recipe. | Well Plated

Part of eating a northern Indian recipe includes chicken on a stick. Tandoori chicken originated in the northern Indian city of Delhi, the national capital of India. This Tandoori Indian Chicken Kebab Recipe is flavorful and pairs well with a homemade tzatziki sauce (Indian yogurt sauce with cucumbers, garlic, salt, olive oil, and herbs.) | Whole and Heavenly Oven

Bamboo Skewer Tip: Always soak bamboo skewers in water before grilling.

Fun fact, some say Chicken Tikka Masala originated in Scotland. Whether you agree with this tale or not, we can all agree today Chicken Tikka Masala is known as a classic Indian dinner recipe. This slow cooker chicken tikka masala is the homemade version you’ve been dreaming of… Let it simmer all day in the Crock-pot for a bold, richly flavored Indian dish. | The Chunky Chef

One of the most popular southern Indian dishes is Biryani.  While I will be truthful in saying nothing Biryani is easy, this is the easiest Biryani recipe we have been able to find that tastes most like our favorite Hyderabad restaurant, Paradise Biryani! Because of it’s multi steps, make this rice dish on a weekend  – wink! | The Delicious Crescent

Honorable mention: My Gorgeous Recipes has a really easy chicken biryani recipe but not as close as the famous Paradise Biryani.

Chicken korma can vary by color, a rich yellow to a deep orange. I find the yellow chicken korma to be closest to the right flavor. This Easy Indian Chicken Korma is 25 minutes from prep to cook. Serve over basmati rice. | Easy Peasy Foodie

Easy Indian Recipes Vegetarian

Don’t let this beautiful vegetarian Indian recipe intimated you. this Instant Pot Aloo Gobi has 5 minutes of prep time and only 20 mintues to cook. | My Ginger Garlic Kitchen

One of my favorite dishes served over long grain rice is Indian Red Lentil Dal. So tasty and vegan friendly. This is the perfect plant-based Quick Red Lentil Dahl is rich, fragrant, and packed with protein. | The Wanderlust Kitchen

What makes this Easy Samosas Recipe, easy is the refrigerated piecrusts and refrigerated mashed potatoes. It saves you the steps of mashing your own potatoes and making your own dough. Tip: Instead of frying the oil, prepare and make in the air fryer. | Real Simple

This Easy Chickpea Curry is the perfect weeknight dinner: it’s quick and easy to make chickpeas, it comes together in one pot, and it uses staple pantry ingredients. | Host the Toast

Guess what an Indian salad is made of… cucumber, tomatoes and onions and it’s amazing. Create this homemade Kachumber Salad Recipe, perfect for summer! | Sprinkles & Sprouts

More Easy Indian Recipes for Beginners

You can’t eat an Indian dinner without Naan.  Often Naan is used as the utensil and in many restaurants if you want a fork, you have to ask. If you lack a tandoor oven (I am sure you do), use a cast-iron skillet to create soft Indian Naan – Puffy and with beautiful brown blisters just like Indian restaurants. Add butter and garlic, or keep plain and let the spices from your dish do the flavor popping. | Rasa Malaysia

Easy Indian recipes paneer

Do you love cottage cheese? Paneer is a homemade soft cheese made by curdling milk with lemon juice. You can serve this cheese curd over many Indian dishes. | Recipe Tin Eats

easy dosa recipe

Similar to a pancake in America or a Tortilla in Mexico, Dosa is a thin batter-based dish. it is excellent at a side or appetizer. Simply dip in Chutney or spiced curries. | Veg Recipes of India

Northern India is known for Lamb Curry. This Indian Lamb Curry from prep to finish within hour with and easy homemade curry spice mix and creamy tomato sauce. Fall apart tender and yum! | Dinner then Dessert

Bengali Shrimp and Cauliflower with Peas is super fast, easy and delicious–the perfect healthy weeknight dinner. | The Spiced Life

Indian dessert recipes

Besan Ladoo is one of the most popular Indian sweets. Made with flour, sugar and butter (ghee), this Indian dessert requires only a handful of ingredients but tastes amazing! | Cook with Manali

You won’t find this Indian snack mix on a restaurant menu, but we are quite obsessed. Using corn flakes cereal, make this super savory trail mix called Chivda. Good enough to eat for a meal! | Madhu’s Everyday Indian

Vegetarian Dinner Ideas

You can turn any Indian dish with meat into an Indian vegetarian dish and visa versa. Just swap chicken/lamb with cauliflower and visa versa. If looking for more vegetarian dinner ideas, enjoy these Meatless Monday Recipes. Over one year of vegetarian cuisines. Pin to Pinterest.

Learn what is a time capsule and what to put inside. Plus, download and print this adorable Kindergarten to High School Time Capsule Printable: A printable time capsule to keep throughout your child’s school years filled with the best of memories.

Time stands still for no one and that is especially true when your kids are growing up. Turn back time and celebrate how things have changed with a time capsule! This time capsule printable is so much fun and it’s a great way to keep those precious memories alive.

What is a Time Capsule?

A time capsule is a container that is filled with items that represent a specific time period. Time capsule ideas are items including anything from photos and clothes to toys and trinkets.

The purpose of a time capsule is to put these items in the keepsake and bury it somewhere so that it can be opened at a later date to remind people of what life was like during that time. Burying it, might just be putting it in the deep crevices of a utility room or other hidden room in the house. A perfect time to open this is a milestone event like a birthday, graduation or wedding.

What to Put in Your Time Capsule?

what to put inside a time capsule photos

There are no set rules for what you should put in your time capsule, but here are a few ideas to get you started:

  • Photographs of you, your friends, and your family
  • Newspaper clippings from the time period
  • A list of songs that were popular during that time
  • Movie tickets or posters
  • Clothing items from the time period
  • Sports memorabilia

In our time capsule worksheets, we include the following…

  • Teacher
  • School
  • Photo
  • Favorite Subject
  • Favorite TV show
  • Favorite Movie
  • Favorite Book
  • Favorite Song
  • Favorite Food
  • Favorite Activity
  • Favorite Saying/Quote

The sheets also provide an opportunity to answer the following time capsule questions…

  • When I grow up I want to be…
  • My best friends are…
  • I’m really awesome at…
  • After school I like to…
  • Next year I look forward to…
  • This year I got better at…
  • Something new I learned

How to Make a Time Capsule?

There are lots of different ways to make a time capsule, but here is one easy way to do it:

  1. Choose a time capsule container. This could be anything from a cardboard photo box to a plastic Sterilite container with a lid.
  2.  Decorate the container however you like. You can paint it, draw on it, or use stickers to decorate it.
  3. Collect items that represent the time period. As mentioned earlier, these could be photos, newspaper clippings, clothing items, etc. Anything that is important during the time you’re representing works.
  4. Put the items in the container and seal it shut. The sealing process depends on how you’re going to store the container until you open it. If the plan is to bury the time capsule, you’ll want to make sure it is sealed tightly so that water cannot get in. If you’re going to store it inside, a simple piece of tape over the lid will suffice.
  5. Choose a date for when you want to open the time capsule. This could be 5 years from now, 10 years from now, or even 50 years from now.
  6. Label the container with the date and a description of what is inside.
  7. Bury or store the capsule somewhere safe.

How to Open a Time Capsule?

There are two ways to handle a time capsule. The first way is to simply bury it and forget about it until the date that you have chosen to open it. The second way is to store it in a safe place and then open it on the date that you have chosen.
If you want to bury your time capsule, it is a good idea to mark the spot so that you can find it later. If you choose to store your time capsule, make sure to put it in a place where it will not be damaged by water or bugs.

Printable Time Capsule Ideas

printable time capsule worksheets

Enjoy being a part of the fairy tale with these fun princess party games! There’s something for everyone whether your princess loves to get active with a game like the Mermaid Tail Relay or prefers a more laidback activity like a Princess Wand Making craft.

Here are a few of the games your princess can look forward to:

Princess Cake Walk: Cut out different sized pieces of cake and have the kids march around the room to music, stopping at each piece to eat it. The child with the smallest piece wins a prize.

Dress Up Contest: Have your guests dress up in their royal best and walk on stage for inspection

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo: Cinderella fans will love this magical take on Duck Duck Goose. Use a magic wand to tap princesses for an extra touch of fun!

Poison Apple Bop: Keep the poison apples in the air, but once the music stops… POP! It’s time for a fun princess challenge hosted by the Queen herself.

Magic Carpet Rides: Join the excitement as this Princess Jasmine spin on musical chairs takes your party to new heights. Kids love this prince and princess game and will hurry to make sure they find a spot to sit as the music stops.

Princess Charades: Only a true princess can master this game of acting! Much like Ariel, you have to get your friends to guess what you’re trying to tell them without using your voice.

Tangled Rapunzel: Who wouldn’t get tangled up in all that hair?!! This is a silly game of wrapping your fellow princesses in long, golden “hair”. Using crepe paper, find out who can wrap their friend the fastest. Then break free from long locks and wrap the next player! Which team can finish the fastest?

Of course, no party is complete without snacks! Dress up your royal party with some delicious treats that will enchant the guests.

Mermaid Bread: You can’t go wrong with this easy yet fun take on classic fish shaped sandwiches. Kids love making their own and eating them, too! Simply serve pieces of bread cut into a mermaid tail shape with whipped cream cheese spread on the bread. Serve with sliced strawberries to place as mermaid scales and a small pretzel twists to use a “tail” sticking out behind. See more Mermaid Party ideas.

Wishing Well Dip: This is a creative spin on the classic snack, fruit and dip. Dress it up with some sparkly glitter sprinkles to make it fit for royalty.

Crowned Cookies: For a fancier version of this popular snack, use a sugar cookie recipe to make delicious cookies in the shape of crowns. Serve with chocolate and vanilla frosting for dipping along with fruit puree or jam spread in between two halves of the cookie. You can pick up a crown cookie cutter here. Also use them to shape little tea cakes.

Strawberry, Mint, Lemon Water: Let your princesses feel fancy with a light fruit drink like this strawberry, mint infused lemon water looks in our tea party ideas!

Christian Easter Crafts – Resurrection Gardens


Why do we celebrate Easter? As Christians, we celebrate Easter because it recognizes the RESURRECTION of Jesus. Jesus was killed by crucifixion on a Friday (Good Friday) and then actually came back to life on the following Sunday (Easter.) Easter is often adorned with bunnies, eggs, and pretty dresses, but there are many ways we can still incorporate the “cute” things of Easter by not forgetting the reason for this season.

Before you get started, be sure to save this Easter Games List PDF for gatherings large and small, family Easter parties, youth groups, neighborhood playdates and more. See more Easter Games for Kids.
