Images by Small Fry Contributor Alyssa Vincent Photography. Cooking with kids is a topic we are excited to explore in our new “Little Foodies” series each month! Our boys enjoy it so much, and we love finding delicious recipes that they can get their hands on. We’ve found if they play a part in the process they also can’t wait to eat it, which gives us opportunities to introduce them to new ingredients and cuisines! Case in point: Our Juicing 101 post, (yep, that’s Hayes drinking beets.) For this month’s Little Foodies adventure, Culinary Crafts had us over to make every … Read more
eggs in a zap.
We were talking earlier about how lazy each of our mornings usually are. We very slowly work up to starting the day with our kids, and unless we have something pressing scheduled, here’s the agenda: the boys come in each of our respective beds for a little morning snuggle. Eventually they start asking for a beverage of some sort, so we stumble out to our kitchens to start up breakfast.

honey pops
One of our goals for Wellness Week was to come up with an easy treat for on the go than can also provide an increase in, you guessed it, wellness!

juicing 101
Welcome to wellness week! With a fresh new year ahead of us, we wanted to focus on creating healthy habits and best practices for ourselves and our kids! A huge thank you to Jylare Smith Photography for these beautiful images, she shoots in Utah, Idaho and California and is a real artist! Emily’s two-year old, Hayes, is a pretty picky eater. If you have one of these at your house, you know how frustrating it can been to get them to try new foods, let alone feeding them a well-balanced diet. A little over a year ago, she started juicing … Read more
frozen yogurt dots
In the earliest stages of Small Fry, we had the opportunity to lunch with Jillee of the incredibly genius blog One Good Thing by Jillee. Each day Jill posts a trick, shortcut, or best practice that makes life easier. She is a blogging phenomeon and beyond generous as our mentor, and as we read through her archives we found ourselves with dropped jaws at the easy things we could do to make our households run more smoothly. Things like unloading a 12-pack of soda in seconds, to unshrinking our clothes, to the reason for this post today: frozen yogurt dots! Surely … Read more
