Super Healthy Kids

Did you know that families who sit down to one meal a day together have lower body weight and well adjusted children? It's important to teach your children healthy eating habits, first by example.

By 10 years old kids will have formed dietary habits that they will most likely stick with throughout their lives. Help your kids to eat healthy by using the Healthy Habits Kids Plate, from Super Healthy Kids, as a guide. That way, when they leave home, they will make better decisions regarding their own health.

Be sure to visit each one of the Mommies and see what we have to say about the Healthy Habits Kids Plate!

Kaboost

Does your child need a boost? With Kaboost they get that extra height to feel like a big kid while sitting in any chair! This special extender allows your child to sit up in a "big kid" chair while still being sturdy and flat on the floor. It allows for those extra few inches so your child can sit comfortably at any table. You can take your Kaboost on the go with you. No more fuss while visiting family!

This is one product we Mommies love - We wouldn't take our children to Grandma's house without it!

Hello Everyone! I can't wait to share a recipe with you today!

And in return please share a recipe with us! Do you have a favorite recipe that you just love? Well, I want to know about it! Heck all of us Mommies want to try your favorite recipe!

Maybe one that is quick, simple and oooohhhh soooooo YUMMMMMY!

Post yours in our comments section!

Here is one of my favorite recipes!

Shanda's Chicken Cordon Bleu (I can't take full credit, not sure where I got the recipe)

Flatten 4 boneless chicken breasts

Then take 4 slices of regular ham and 4 slices of swiss cheese.

Lay them on top of each other and put them on top of the flattened chicken breast.

Roll them up and secure with toothpicks.

Then roll them in flour and paprika. (until coated)

Then in a deep pan melt 6 tablespoons of butter. (Yeah! This is not fat free)

When butter is melted add chicken rolls and brown on all sides. (medium heat)

Once they are all brown on all sides, turn down flame slightly.

Add 1-1/2 cups of white cooking wine and one chicken boullion cube.

Simmer until chicken is cooked all the way through. Approx 20 mins.

Then take a small carton of heavy whipping cream and add a tablespoon of

corn starch to the carton and shake it up real good. Set aside.

Then remove chicken from the pan and turn pan drippings into gravy (I am talking the best gravy ever) I am addicted.

Add the heavy whipping cream/corn starch mixture to the pan drippings.

Bring to a low boil until gravy thickens.

Thats it! Drown your chicken in the gravy and chow down!!! YUMMY!

Let me know what you think! Remember to leave us a recipe!
