Pineapple Upside Down Muffins - easy, kid-approved breakfast recipe! Delicious muffins filled with crushed pineapple and topped with a sprinkle of brown sugar and a maraschino cherry!

I’m doing that thing again where I refuse to buy cereal because we’ve had this giant Sam’s Club sized box of instant oatmeal in the pantry for, like, 3 months now and I. Want. It. Gone.

I’m told that there are people in this world that enjoy oatmeal and happily eat it but my children and I are not those people.

Why’d you buy 52 packs of oatmeal, Amanda, if you guys don’t eat oatmeal?

I don’t know, y’all. I black out in Sam’s the second I start thinking about getting a slice of pizza and I don’t even realize I have the oatmeal until I’m already out the door and flinging boxes into the Jeep.

No, this isn’t the first time we’ve ended up with the oatmeal.

How was your weekend?

We had the best of both worlds. On Saturday we were eating watermelon in the backyard while wearing shorts and then Sunday we watched snow fall all day long!

Gotta love Colorado!

I’m assuming most of your had nice Spring weather so I wanted to share this Spring treat! I think it’s my favorite thing I’ve made in months.

I know it looks like it’s for the kids but I won’t lie, it hit all my weird cravings on Saturday night – sweet and crunchy, chocolate, sour, chewy. I mean, everything I could ever want all in one cute little bucket!

And my kids went nuts for it, of course! They’re boys so they like anything gross and eating bugs and dirt was pretty exciting for them.

It would be super cute at a kids birthday party served in mini buckets with tiny shovels.

Cheesy Chicken Hobo Packs

Cheesy Chicken Hobo Packets - stuffing, chicken, broccoli, bacon, and cheese all layered and cooked in foil packets. They can be cooked in the oven or on the grill. Easiest dinner ever!

Today I brought you a mess of a dinner.

Trust me, I realize it’s not much to look at.

But it’s one that my kids LOVED so I figured I had no choice but to share it with you.

Have you ever made hobo packs? The idea is that you just pile everything into aluminum foil, seal it, and then put it on the grill until everything is cooked through.

So they are great to do while camping but since I’m not much of a camper, I did these in the oven. Either way works though!

They were delicious and clean up was so simple since it was all contained in the aluminum foil. These are going to become a summer staple for us!
