Have you ever made a recipe, but it was eaten too quickly to photograph the final result?!? That happens every time I make this roasted chicken and potatoes! . It’s delicious, super quick, and even my 8 year old can make it with minimal help. . Ingredients -2lbs mini golden potatoes -1 large onion, chopped in 1 inch pieces -4 tablespoons olive oil -1 pouch of dry onion soup mix -2 8 piece cut up chickens - Weber Beer Can Chicken spice Wash and cut potatoes in half. Put them in 2 9x13 pans. Drizzle on olive oil and sprinkle with onion soup mix. Mix well. Add 8 piece cut up chicken on top of potatoes. Drizzle with olive oil and generously sprinkle on Beer Can Chicken spice. Cover with foil and bake on convention roast 400• for 30minutes. Uncover and continue roasting until chicken temperature reaches 165 and juice runs clear. If you want the chicken extra crispy and brown, broil the last 3-5 minutes. . . #azmom #scottsdalemoms #scottsdalekids #phoenixmoms #mominfluencer #mominfluencerlife #momhacks #easydinner #easydinnerideas #easyrecipes #onepanmeals #onepandinners #justaddveggies #roastedchicken #roastedpotatoes #weberspices #glutenfreedinner #quickandglutenfree #glutenfreerecipes #kosherfoodie #koshercooking #kosherrecipes #kosherinstantpotrecipes #kosherdinner #kosherrecipe https://www.instagram.com/p/B5FpI5nnOZf/?igshid=1y1jjrzocdwzb

We had a great time at Circus Americana’s stunning circus show under the big top 🎪! If you’re in Arizona be sure to check out this animal free, family friendly circus owned and performed by the very talented Taylor family. My husband and I and all four of my kids from ages 2-9 were enthralled by the variety of circus acts including, tightrope, juggling, clowns, strongman, contortionist and magic. They also loved that the Taylor family and other performers make time during intermission and after the show to chat and take pictures. If you’re looking for a fun evening out and a circus show that takes you back in time check out the final weekend of @circusamericana this Thursday-Sunday! ***Ticket link in bio 🎪 🎪Use code facebook15 for 15% off tickets (minimum 4 tickets)🎪🎪 #arizonamoms #azmom #azmomsnetwork #scottsdalemoms #phoenixmoms #chandlermoms #tempemoms #mesamoms #glendalemoms #gilbertmoms #thingstodoaz #azwithkids #arizonafamily #azfamily #arizonaevents #tempeevents #bigsurfevents #circusgiveaway #circusarts #circusinspiration #crueltyfreecircus #allhumancircus https://www.instagram.com/p/B5DNPFrnxbH/?igshid=j4ivqzlgdvsz

Hold the Rice Sushi Salad This simple to throw together, layered sushi salad is a real crowd pleaser. It is stunning and tasty and always get devoured when I make it for potlucks, family get togethers or a fast weekday dinner. Ingredients -1 pack imitation crab, chopped -1/2 cucumber thinly sliced in semi circles -3/4 cup shredded carrots -1 large avocado, sliced - 1/2 cup French-fried onion pieces -sweet soy glaze and sriracha mayonnaise for drizzle topping . On a large flat serving tray layer imitation crab, cucumber slices, shredded carrots, and avocado. Sprinkle French fried onion pieces on top. Drizzle sweet soy glaze on top. Add a drizzle of siracha mayonnaise in the opposite direction if you want to add an extra spicy kick. To get a clean swirly drizzle add a few tablespoons of sweet soy glaze and siracha mayonnaise to separate ziplock sandwich bags. Cut one edge of the bag and use it to drizzle. My kids don’t like things too spicy so we only drizzle siracha mayonnaise on one half. . #phoenixmoms #phoenixkids #mominfluencerlife #instamom #momhacks #momsarethebestcooks #scottsdalefoodie #kidfriendlyrecipes #easydinner #easydinnerideas #easyrecipes #dairyfreerecipes #dairyfreedinner #sushisalad #saladsushi #sushilovers🍣 #sushitoshare #saladrecipe #saladsofinstagram #koshercooking #kosherrecipes #kosherfoodies #kosherfoodie #koshercooking #kosherrecipes #kosherdinner #kosherrecipe https://www.instagram.com/p/B5ApavmHmDC/?igshid=16p670dil3l3q

Fruit always tastes better when it looks this pretty!! I love playing with food and creating masterpieces! These simple melon and mango flowers were so easy. Just slice a few very thin pieces of cantaloupe and mango. Roll up the first piece and wrap the remaining pieces around it to create a flower.

🎨⭐️🌈✨ Simple symmetry puzzle art is one of my all time favorite easy and educational art projects! It’s simple to set up, mess free, requires few supplies and keep kids entertained. It’s the perfect project for a rainy day, summer afternoon, or day off from school. 🎨⭐️🌈✨ This is a great way for children of all ages to explore the concepts of positive and negative space and symmetry. Preschool aged children enjoy completing the puzzle after it has been drawn and cut out, and older children are able to draw complex designs, carefully cut out each piece and complete the symmetry puzzle. Scroll through to see step by step pics. Supplies: one sheet white cardstock, half sheet colored cardstock, pencil,scissors, and glue. . . 1. Discuss positive/negative space and symmetry and brainstorm symmetrical objects. 2. Fold a colored piece of cardstock in half and cut down the middle. You will only need a half sheet of cardstock. 3. Draw a simple or complex design on one half of the paper. Be sure to draw design along the middle crease and outer edges of the paper so it is easier to cut out. 4. Cut out design and be sure to save all the cutout pieces. 5. Reassemble the cutout design on one side of a white sheet of cardstock. 6. Carefully flip over each cutout piece and place it in the corresponding spot on the blank half of the white cardstock. 7. Glue down colored cutouts. . . #azmoms #scottsdalemoms #scottsdalekids #instamoms #instamommy #momhacks #kidsactivities #kidsgames #learningthroughplay #learningfun #learningisfun #artisfun #artteachersofinstagram #artteachertribe #kidsartideas #kidsartprojects #artactivities #easyartprojects #preschoolteacher #preschoolartactivity #preschoolactivities #preschoollearning https://www.instagram.com/p/B4ukw5BHs-y/?igshid=145n0wut602s5

Thanks @saaldigital_corp for letting me test out your 8.5 x 11 photo book with matte lay flat pages and glossy cover. Check out the seamless lay flat spread and high quality pages and swipe to see more pics. This photobook is the really deal. Print quality is fantastic and the lay flat design allows for seamless panoramic spread. All pages are printed on a premium heavyweight paper which prevents the pages from being torn or bent. The Saal Design Software was intuitive and easy to use. You also have the option to design with your own professional software and upload the pages. I chose standard shipping and was shocked by the speedy processing time. My order was placed Thursday afternoon and I received it Monday morning via DHL. I will definitely be using @saaldigital_corp for future photo books and other projects. #azmom #scottsdalemoms #scottsdalekids #phoenixmoms #phoenixkids #mominfluencer #microinfluencers #instamommy #instamom #momhacks #travelingwithkids #travelingwithtoddlers #southafricawithkids #internationaltraveler #lionparkjoburg #safarikids #photobooks #travelphotography #southafricanphotography #photoprojects #productreviews #productreviewer https://www.instagram.com/p/B4NAVY_niny/?igshid=1kpgrnrwbjdlg

I spy with my little eye...something orange. Can you find 10 orange keys, 7 orange magna-tiles, and 1 orange ice cream scoop? We went on an orange treasure hunt to gather up all of our orange toys and created our very own I SPY picture. This is a great way to teach colors, sorting, identifying objects, and counting. It’s also a great picture to save on your phone because you can pull it out and play an I spy game anytime you need a quiet activity to keep little ones busy. #azmoms #scottsdalemoms #scottsdalekids #instamoms #instamommy #momhacks #kidsactivities #kidsgames #learningthroughplay #learningfun #learningisfun #colorgames #teachingcolors #toddlercoloractivities #toddlercolorgame #teachingcounting #toddlercounting #countingactivities #preschoolteacher #preschoolartactivity #preschoolactivities #preschoolgames #preschoollearning #ispy #ispywithmylittleeye #orange https://www.instagram.com/p/B4KYtYvnv1R/?igshid=1u3u41rjhjwe6

OFRA Cosmetics sent me some of their Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick to try out. This was my first time trying Ofra Cosmetics products and I was impressed with the quality. I also love that their products are vegan and cruelty free. Unlike other long lasting liquid lipsticks this one went on easily in one coat, dried quickly, and left my lips feeling soft and smooth. It also has a nice coconut/vanilla type scent. It lasted all day and didn’t transfer. I will definitely be checking out their other products. . . #azmom #azmomlife #azmomsnetwork #azmommy #scottsdalemoms #scottsdalemom #azinfleuncer #momfluencer #momfluence #makeupinfluencer #microinfluencer #makeupinstagram #veganmakeup #veganmakeupproducts #instabeauty #beautyreviewer #lipstick #ofraliquidlipstick #ofracosmetics #freesample https://www.instagram.com/p/B4AU2_jn8F5/?igshid=1cu011g7wylah

Instant pot beef rice pilaf (Plav)! A delicious combination of tender beef, rice, carrots, onions, and spices cooked to perfection in your instant pot. If you’re looking for an amazing and easy dinner you’ve got to try this. I used @natashaskitchen recipe below with the following changes because I wanted to use white rice instead of brown rice. I subbed white rice for the brown rice, 1 1/2 cups of chicken/beef broth instead of 3 cups of water and cooked on high pressure 15 minutes with 10 minutes natural release. . https://natashaskitchen.com/instant-pot-rice-recipe-beef-plov/ . . #azmom #scottsdalemoms #scottsdalekids #phoenixmoms #mominfluencer #mominfluencerlife #momhacks #easydinner #easydinnerideas #easyrecipes #ricepilaf #instantpotrecipes #instantpot #instantpotnewbie #instantpotlife #instantpotdinners #instapoteats #instantpotbeef #kosherinstantpot #instakosher #kosherfoodie #koshercooking #kosherrecipes #kosherinstantpotrecipes #kosherdinner #kosherrecipe https://www.instagram.com/p/B39nEahHC3A/?igshid=y8rk81v7ttth
