#cbias #HungerHeroes BBQ cheese chicken easy kid-friendly Kraft lunch macaroni recipe Tyson Chicken Nuggets

Ad: Hungry Kids love Chicken Nuggets and Mac & Cheese Pinwheels!

Disclosure: I am a member of the Collective Bias®  Social Fabric® Community.  This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper amplification for Collective Bias and its advertiser.

Tyson HungerHeroes PinwheelsNow that the kids are home all day, we’re planning a lot of various activities – some for fun and some out of necessity. More often than not I’m taking them along with me now while doing our regular day to day stuff like shopping and donating. So when I found out that in the month of August Tyson and KRAFT are partnering together and will feed a child in need* with the Hunger Heroes program each time a Tyson® Fully-Cooked Chicken Nuggets 5 lb. bag, a KRAFT Macaroni & Cheese Dinner 7.25 oz. 12-pack, and/or a Capri-Sun 6 oz. 40-pack are purchased at Sam’s Club I was thrilled! This inspired me to purchase some of these products to create an easy and fun lunchtime meal using these products for my own hungry kids.

Sams Club Hunger  Heroes Shopping

Making our shopping trip a fun, teachable moment!

The Hunger Heroes Program is all about action, turning families into superheroes, and tapping into the incredible power of giving. We share with our kids how fortunate they are to have a roof over their heads, clothes on their backs and food every day because not all kids have that. Every so often we gather together a few boxes and bags of food and clothes to donate to our local ministry facility that provides emergency services to those in need. This includes emergency funding for utility services, food, clothing and referrals for shelter. We’ve struggled quite a few times ourselves, so anytime we are in a position to help we do.

Tyson HungerHeroes donate

These boys are so excited to help!

Every few months the kids and I will sort through toys and clothes for items to donate and we’ll go through our kitchen pantry and cupboards for any food items we can spare as well as dishes or cookware that we may not use that can help others. This helps our children appreciate what they have and understand the concept of giving and helping others. We purchased the items from Sam’s Club that will be a part of the Hunger Heroes campaign in August and I fixed up a fun lunch so we could explain what the campaign does and how it helps other children. Using the same items that Tyson would donate meals for if purchased, I created a super easy and fun lunch. I wrapped up the Chicken and Mac & Cheese with some veggies and BBQ sauce, then sliced them into pinwheels. While we ate we discussed the program and how it helps kids like them. After lunch, we took  some of the items and packed it up with other things from our home and set out to drop them off at the donation center.

Ingredients for Easy Pinwheels:

  • 3 Tyson® Fully-Cooked Chicken Nuggets, cooked as directed
  • 1 spoonful of a 7.25 oz. KRAFT Macaroni & Cheese Dinner, cooked as directed
  • 1 burrito sized flour tortilla, or other flavored if desired
  • 1/2 tomato, diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped green leaf lettuce
  • 1/2 teaspoon BBQ sauce

    What a fun idea to make these pinwheels with the nuggets and mac-n-cheese! I love that you are teaching your kids to give at such an early age. I need to sort toys with my boy to donate sometime soon. #client

[Sponsored]: Summertime is coming and will be here before we know it! You all know that I love easy meals during the warmer months, and I also love a good meal in a bowl. It’s also Vidalia Onion season 🧅 so I paired this seasonal favorite with pan-seared shrimp and veggies as a light rice bowl using your choice of grains.☺️This meal is an absolute delight!

Get the recipe and all the Vidalia Onion details by clicking the link in my profile or desktop users can click here for the recipe >> https://mamaharriskitchen.com/2021/06/pan-seared-shrimp-veggie-rice-bowl-vidalia-onions/ .

Also make sure to grab some Vidalia Onions from your local grocer before they are out of season in late August/early September.☀️

This time of year I love warm, comforting recipes that are super easy and delish. This ridiculously easy Chicken Tortilla Soup is a one pot meal, ready in under 30 minutes and uses already prepared rotisserie chicken for maximum flavor (and ease)! With a tasty blend of flavors and textures, it’s like a bowl full of comfort.

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Happy December, all!! 🎄Since it’s basically Christmas now, it’s time to share ALL the holiday cookies! 

Every year I join my friend @natashanicholes as she heads up her #HousefulofCookies virtual cookie swap, where many of us share some sweet treats for the holiday season. 

This year I’ve created Cranberry Pistachio Citrus Cookies to share as my contribution. 🍪 I know that a lot of things have turned “virtual” throughout this year, but a little virtual bake-off is a fun way to connect with some of your favorite people!

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
