... Read moreAs a single teen mom, I’ve learned that cooking breakfast for my toddler can be both a challenge and a rewarding experience. One of the biggest surprises was figuring out how to cut pineapples safely and efficiently. Before mastering the technique, I used to struggle with managing the tough outer skin and the core – often wasting a lot of the sweet fruit. Here’s a trick that has worked wonders for me: start by slicing off the top and bottom of the pineapple to create stable bases. Then, stand it upright and carefully slice off the skin, following the curve of the fruit. Make sure to remove the “eyes” (brown spots) as you go. After peeling, cut the pineapple into quarters lengthwise, trim out the tough core from each quarter, and finally, cut the flesh into bite-sized pieces perfect for little hands. Besides mastering pineapple cutting, I focus on quick and healthy breakfast ideas that fit my busy schedule. Cooking with my 3-year-old is part of the fun— involving her helps keep her interested in food and encourages better eating habits. Simple recipes like fruit salads, scrambled eggs with veggies, or whole-grain pancakes with fruit toppings have become breakfast staples. Preparing meals ahead and involving my toddler in easy tasks also helps reduce morning chaos. If you’re a mom in a similar situation, I highly recommend experimenting with fresh fruits like pineapple for vibrant flavors and essential vitamins. Using hashtags like #cookwithme and #toddlermeals can connect you with a community of parents sharing tips and recipes. Remember, the key is to keep it simple, safe, and enjoyable for both you and your little ones.

Lazy girl meal idea Pt.2
I have been so busy the past few weeks and have gotten into the bad habit of eating out more. Especially when it comes to dinner for my kids because it’s more convenient when I’ve had a long day and don’t feel like cooking. I’ve been trying to snap out of that by cooking more my meals at home.

Journal idea: a letter to someone who wronged you
While I was stumped for journal ideas the other day, I came across the idea to write a letter to someone who you hate or wronged you (of course without the intent to send it out). I won’t go into much detail but I had an experience with a girl last year that really changed my perspective on things.
