This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Farm Rich. All opinions are 100% mine. 

It’s back to school time, which also means football season is also just around the corner.  This time of year gets crazy and it seems like we’re always looking for a quick recipe for our kids or for entertaining. Whether it’s for an after school snack, a fast dinner or game day munchies these four easy dip recipes go great with everything from wings to veggies.

Looking for a quick and easy option for after school snacks, a quick dinner or even a game day munchies? We've got four delicious dips recipes that are crowd pleasers and can go with everything from veggies, wings, nuggets and more.  Yum! 4 Easy Dip Recipes. SunshineandHurricanes.com

We’re a family with two working parents, two kids in school and then we each have a long list of activities that we participate in each week.  To say we are on the go all the time is an understatement.  Getting everyone fed has become a daily point of stress for me, especially on nights when my son has soccer and we have less than an hour between school and leaving for practice.

We’re also HUGE college football fans (Go Blue!) and we often like to have people over on game days.  So, during the week I’m always looking for some fast snack or dinner ideas that my kids will eat. Then, on the weekends, I’m forever needing some crowd pleasing party eats.

My go to solution for both has become – dip recipes!  I’ve discovered that there is far less of a battle getting my younger (and pickier) one to eat real food if I’ve got dipping options. On game days, dips give me a variety of choices for all the game day favorites.  Plus, let’s be honest, whether you’re a little kid or a grown-up kid, who doesn’t love dipping their food?!

4 easy dip recipes mick

In recent years, we have come up with four family favorite dip recipes and thought we would share these tasty recipes with other busy families; avocado, sweet sriracha, cool cucumber and homemade ranch. My kids like every one of these dip recipes, including the sriracha dip. It’s got a little kick, but it’s pretty mild if you prepare it the kid friendly way (with a little honey and light on the sriracha).

Now, if you’re going to have dip you need something to go with it of course, and there is not much better for an after school or a game-day snack than chicken.  If you want a truly easy option that tastes great, I’ve recently found these Farm Rich Boneless BBQ Chicken Bites (kids favorite) and then Bone-in Buffalo Wings (my favorite), which were new to my Florida Target.
Looking for a quick after school snack or great game day snack? Farm Rich BBQ boneless chicken  bites and Bone-In Buffalo Wings are quick, easy and taste great. Give a try with our 4 easy dip Recipes. SunshineandHurricanes.com

You can make them in the oven or microwave and I was pleased to find that they came out crispy and were comparable to what we might get in a restaurant. If you want to give them a try with our family favorite dip recipes below, there is currently a $0.75 off coupon to use!

    My daughter would definitely be all over the ranch, we are trying to get her used to spicier foods, simply because we all love spicy.

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
