  2. Thanks so much for featuring my Chicken Parsnip Meatballs! Today I'm linking up another kid-friendly dinner idea, Jedi Bison Babies (or miniature bison burgers). May the force be with you :)

    • Hi There Lisa,

      You are hilarious! I sent this post to my husband (due to the Jedi reference). And you are so right my friend. A little trickery (illusion) in the kitchen is necessary from time to time. I love this idea. So simple, so practical. :-)

      Thanks for sharing with us on AFW this week!

      Hugs,
      --Amber

    • Drool! Vicky, you know I'm a beet girl. And I just love the other ingredients you added in this salad here. It's a meal all own its own! I feel like walnuts are the forgotten nut, no? They are so super healthy. I just made some walnut milk (will be share the recipe soon) and it's so much easier for me to digest.

      Thanks for another great recipe. And thanks for sharing it with us on AFW!!

      Hugs,
      --Amber

    Amber - Thank you (and the other great bloggers) for hosting this wonderful 'blog hop'! It's so easy to get in a 'Recipe Rut' and this weekly feature is such a help. Thank you, also, for sharing my doughnut recipe. It's been so much fun 'meeting' so many new people!

    Blessings!
