Traveling with Kids
We are two families that love to travel. We also have a combined 9 kids between us. We’re sharing what we’ve learned to do (and not to do) when traversing the globe with a bushel of kids.
“I want to help the people who think they’re too busy to make this type of food realize they’re not.”
5-Minute Salsa
Salsa is one of my favorite things to have for a snack. My kids have also started consuming copious amounts of salsa, which means we seem to run out all the time. I started making this salsa recently because I was tired of not having salsa. It's made with a can of tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, and cilantro and only takes 5 minutes to make. I love making it to go with breakfast tacos or smoked chicken enchiladas.
Smoked Chicken Gumbo
Gumbo is one of the most popular meals I make for the Schremser and Glasper children. They all get rather excited to hear I’m making Gumbo for dinner. Grown-ups love it too. My husband loves smoking chickens on his smoker. It’s one of his favorite things to do on weekends that aren’t filled with soccer games or travel. He usually does 3-4 birds at a time. I shred the meat off them and freeze it for use in later meals. It saves me to have delicious smoked chicken on hand in the freezer. I then make a massive batch of smoked chicken stock with the bones. It’s delicious and adds a depth of flavor to pots of beans or soups. I also keep this in the freezer.
