Your children's diet plays an important role in supporting them as they grow and develop. Food impacts people in a variety of ways, from the strength of their bones to their mental health.

A healthy diet is a balanced one filled with lots of essential nutrients. To get the best out of a diet, every meal should include a variety of foods from different groups. Some of the most important food groups are fruit, vegetables, whole grains, beans, lentils, lean meat, fish, nuts, and seeds. Your children should avoid an excessive amount of sugar, sweets, and fats.

This is where you may have to get creative and make meals tasty or hide the vegetables in meals they do like. Some of the most enjoyable ways to encourage children to eat food can be through using spices on the vegetables and creating a side such as grilled green beans, alternatively, you can make delicious tasting soups, which conceals the contents.

Meal Planning Made Conveniently Easy with Doorstep Meals

 Cooking at home has been challenging. I cooked at home before and meal prepped for my entire family, but there is just something about being forced to do it day in and day out. My husband takes his lunch to work everyday because not only does it save him time during his lunch break, but it saves us money as well. I was making him the same day everyday because it was easy on my part, but the poor guy (without complaint) was getting bored of it.

Homemade Chicken Nuggets {Frying Up Healthier with Hamilton Beach Air Fry Sure-Crisp Toaster Oven}


This year, many families are adjusting to new and different back to school schedules. Whether it's in the classroom or at home, so I know how important it is to make quick and convenient meals. I know I have been cooking SO MUCH this year and my grocery bill proves it. 




The Hamilton Beach Sure-Crisp™ Air Fry Toaster Oven will cook meals quickly and easily. Bake, air fry, broil, or toast in this versatile all-in-one toaster oven. The Sure-Crisp technology uses powerful, hot air to ensure food is browned and crisp every time. The large capacity toaster oven can fit up to 6 slices of bread or a 12" pizza. 

I am so excited for this because a few years ago my husband got rid of our air fryer because he said we never used it (which was true at the time), but now we cook at home so much more and it will be so nice to have the opportunity to fry different foods in a healthy way. But I love that it isn't just an air fryer, I love that it is a multi-purpose machine. We decided to make some homemade chicken nuggets because I think these will be a great meal-prep freezer item for my family.
