Nachos!

Extra lean ground beef, red onion, green pepper, frozen corn and fresh tomatoes. Seasoned with garlic, cumin, chili powder and smokey paprika. Top with a bit of fat free sour cream and chopped avocado! Yup!
I usually add black beans, but didn't have any in house.

Chicken nuggets

Kids love them, but getting them at McDonald's...yuck! Made these with Panko crumbs, wheat germ and Italian spices. Dipped boneless skinless chicken breast in egg whites and then in the Panko mix. Baked on 400 for about 20 min, flipping half way.

Kids lunch

I found these great containers at kroger a while back. They are wonderful for packing healthy lunch for the kids!

Kids have been having a ball making smoothies everyday. This is one of them. Unsweetened almond milk, vanilla protein, berries and bananas!

Kids and fitness

Trying to make sure your kids get enough physical activity is sometime tough. We as a family don't want to be out of the house running from activity to activity, but also want the kids to be active. It's tough to find that balance!
We let each of our kids pick one thing they want to do at a time. We also only do 39 min if tv during the week and that after homework and before dinner.
What's you strategy for making sure your kids stay active but not over worked?
