“He is not here; for he is risen!” Share the message of the gospel this spring with these Easter Resurrection Cupcakes. These open tomb cupcakes are an easy food craft for the kids.

Easter Resurrection Cupcakes

He is not here; for he is risen! Matthew 28:6

Through this food craft, you can share the message of the Gospel. Did you know Gospel means good news? Our good news is Christ died on the cross for our sins and rose again on the third day.  No works or actions of ours will get us through Heavens gates, only accepting him as our Lord and savior.

Our goal for these cupcakes is easy with a message of the Gospel. Either make a boxed cupcakes recipe or ask your grocery store’s bakery if you can have some un-iced cupcakes.  Chocolate or vanilla cupcakes are fine. We used vanilla, but chocolate would definitely look more like soil!  You can whip up this food craft in just a few minutes. 

Also check out our other Easter Food Craft Ideas and Resurrection Ideas – Eggs, Gardens and Rolls.

Empty Tomb Cupcakes Supplies:

  • 12 pre-made cupcakes
  • 1 cup green frosting

Make your family this Easy and Flavorful White Chicken Chili Dump Dinner using BUSH’S® Chili Beans.

Easy White Chicken Chili Dump Dinner

I am a lazy chef but I have rich taste. Most of my meals are one pot dinner or slow cooker meals. As my number of children has increased (we have five), my cooking style has become even more tactical. Cans, stockpots, instant pots, whatever makes our life easy and home simple. To explain a real life scenario of my kitchen, this was my twins when I didn’t get breakfast on the table fast enough. They were resourceful (and hungry!) 

Speaking of the twins, I often look for meals that they can enjoy with us. We are at a stage where purees are out the door and I need to make hearty meals that include them. I am not into making multiple dinners, so I always try to incorporate flavors and appropriate sized food they can pick up and enjoy without me having to hand feed them.

One of the things I often grab for the twins are canned veggies and beans. I will mix in rice or seasoning and warm them and place them straight on their high chair tray. It is always nice when that canned “meal” is flavorful. They are getting so picky about bland food! By already having flavor in the can, it eliminates my prep time and makes for easier dump dinners.

Our family loves a good Chili recipe. I love one that is quick and easy and all seven of us can enjoy it! When making your own blue ribbon award recipe, considering making your life simpler by looking for BUSH’S® Chili Beans give your chili even more “chili” flavor. These beans are made just for chili. Already simmered in their original chili sauces, made with a special blend of chilies, spices, garlic and onions, these are THE beans for your great chili… plus they eliminate the extras you need to add later!  Thank you BUSH’S®!

SAVE NOW! Right now, head to Walmart and save one dollar when you buy any two cans of Bush’s BUSH’S® Chili Beans. Whether you prefer pinto, kidney, black, white, red or mixed beans, mild, medium or hot sauce, BUSH’S® Chili Beans offer the variations and flavors to satisfy you and your family.

OPTIONS: If you can’t find BUSH’S® Chili Beans (yellow can), go for  BUSH’S® Pinto Beans (blue can) like we did in the recipe below.  You can consider eliminated some of the added spices and chiles if you go with that option.

White Chicken Chili Dump Dinner Ingredients:

  • 2 cooked and shredded chicken breasts
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 2-16oz cans BUSH’S® Chili Beans (yellow can) or  BUSH’S® Pinto Beans (blue can)
  • 1-4oz can diced chiles
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 1/2 cups white cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 teaspoons dried cumin
  • 2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoons onion powder

Don’t Forget the Garnish:

  • Cilantro, washed
  • Lime wedges
  • Tortilla chips

A family favorite, the Easiest Chili Ever – Hearty and flavorful dump dinner using seasoned chili beans.

Easiest Chili Ever

Any mamas suffering with me? Today was probably the 10th day of school interrupted in 2019. It’s only February, and we haven’t had a full week of school since December. I would raise a glass, maybe offer a toast with a bottle of an adult beverage, but on top of having all five kids off schedule, I also got Invisalign (clear braces) and am off any glasses of anything, except water… I digress. Yes, I am having my own pitty party of one.

Back to my family who never goes to school. Did you know that snow makes hungry kids turn famished? My children come inside form playing outdoors and they expect a full four course meal. Not only do they want non stop snacks, they want food to warm them up before they head back outside again. I go from making one meal a day (dinner) to making three large meals a day. One of our favorite go to meals for lunch and dinner is chili. The meal fills a crowd (when additional friends come over) and I can multiple ingredients depending on if I have more mouths to feed or if I need left overs.

If you have a favorite Chili recipe, like ours, upgrade your favorite chili with the hearty flavor of BUSH’S® Chili Beans. Simmered in their original chili sauces, made with a special blend of chilies, spices, garlic and onions, these are the beans to perfect your tried and true recipe!

SAVE NOW! Right now, head to Walmart and save one dollar when you buy any two cans of Bush’s BUSH’S® Chili Beans. Whether you prefer pinto, kidney, black, white, red or mixed beans, mild, medium or hot sauce, BUSH’S® Chili Beans offer the variations and flavors to satisfy you and your family.

Next time you need an easy recipe to fill a crow, try our Easiest Chili Ever. Just dump in the pot, warm, and simmer! Check out our white bean alternative, an Easy White Chicken Chili Dump Dinner.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cooked and shredded chicken breasts
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 2-16oz cans BUSH’S® Chili Beans (yellow can)
  • 1-4oz can diced Chile’s
  • 1 cup southwest corn

  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

Easy Dairy Free Recipes and Snacks for Nursing Mothers

Nursing the twins has been rather hard. First, they were born early and never got a good latch. Coming from a mother that breastfed her first three children, the extra steps required were going to take me being attached to a breast pump rather than my precious newborns. Once the routine of pumping became the norm, I started noticing colic in Henry. This was around 7 weeks of age. In addition to the colic, Henry was constipated and having alot of projectile vomit with mucus. I researched potential reasons and we eliminated dairy from my diet. This seemed to do the trick and thus began the sacrifice of not only pumping, but additionally changing my diet and sacrificing my favorite foods.

I made the mistake with my third born of creating a healthy diet and lowering my calorie intake. Happily, I lost my baby weight but sadly, I also lost my supply, Since I was trying to keep up a supply for twins, I began searching Dairy Free Recipes to go with my new Dairy Free Diet. Many of these recipes have the intent of still supplying calories and still remaining tasty. Additionally, I researched some recipes that support lactation and breast milk production. My goal in this post was not to overload you with meats and veggies (because that is obviously an easy elimination to dairy) but to supply you with tasty eats, so you don’t feel like your diet is a sacrifice.

Helpful tip: OREOs were my best friend. Did you know OREOs are dairy free? They totally helped me with cravings that often had diary.


Primary Sources of Dairy:

  • Milk
  • Cheese
  • Butter
  • Half-and-half
  • Cream
  • Buttermilk
  • Cream Cheese
  • Sour Cream
  • Cottage Cheese
  • Whey
  • Cottage Cheese

First up, baking was particularly hard on me. I found this Dairy Free Conversions Chart and it was pretty convenient for pretty much everything involves milk, cream or butter!

Valentine Envelope Snacks

Valentine's Day Cookie Envelopes

What do you do with the kids to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Every day in the month of February (until the 14th), we put a heart on the kids door sharing why they are special/loved. This has been done for as long as I can remember, we still have last years hearts on the door! It used to be something only my husband and I did, but as the kids multiplied (we would be doing 5 hearts a night for 14 days), I started including the children in the tradition so they could encourage and love one another. So we assign them a night they write a sweet note to each other. It gives us a few days off! I love watching, as well, how much they enjoy encouraging each other!

Sign, sealed, delivered!

Speaking of showing love, how precious are these Valentine Envelope Snacks? We love  Valentine’s Day Kids Food Crafts and wanted to come up with some new ideas for you all to enjoy this season!

For this task, you will need white fondant and edible food markers then a big imagination! Send with love!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 graham cracker squares
  • Wilton white fondant
  • Wilton red edible food marker
  • pink or white frosting
  • small square cookie cutter
  • rolling pin
  • powdered sugar
  • small candy hearts
  • toothpicks

Instructions

First, line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.

Gently knead the white fondant until pliable. Take a small handful of fondant at a time and gently roll out to 1/4″ thick using the rolling pin. If the fondant gets sticky, use the powdered sugar on your rolling pin and surface to prevent sticking.

Once the fondant is rolled to about 1/4″ use the square cookie cutter to cut the fondant into small squares.

Set the fondant squares on the baking sheet for 30-60 minutes to set.

After the fondant hardens a bit spread a small amount of frosting on the back of the square and place on top of the graham cracker.

Next, use the edible food marker to make 4-5 dashes on on all sides of the square and then a small triangle in the middle.

finally, use the toothpick to place a small amount of frosting on the back of the candy heart and then affix onto the ‘envelope flap’.

Repeat with all 10 graham crackers.
