Passing on traditions is very important to me this time of year.
A lot of my most special Holiday memories involve food and being in the kitchen!
Thanks to OXO for sponsoring this post.
My mom makes blueberry buckle for almost every special Holiday
and it’s a recipe that she’s passed down to all of us.
It has become a staple in all of our homes!
If you like something fruity and sweet with a crunch, this recipe is for you.
I’m the mama in the kitchen now and my kids have my old role of trying to sneak all the blueberries! ;)
I love having my kids in the kitchen though…
and around the table making memories.
When it comes to kids in the kitchen, I find that being smart
about their set up can reduce a lot of the crazy!
Today I wanted to share with you some Mom Hacks for your Holiday Kid Table!
Here are some Kid-Friendly OXO products just in time for the Holiday feast!
Brainstorming the kid table?
Here’s some ideas for what to include if you’re
serving up visiting kiddos or your own babes!
Use suction cup plate to reduce the mess! Mom Hack:
OXO Tot Stick & Stay Suction Dishware have a secure suction
base that sticks firmly to surfaces until mealtime is over.
It’s easy for us to remove but tricky for little ones to prevent slipping.
I love that I can set Asher and Hunter up with these plates and
they won’t be bumping it (and all the food) to the floor!
Have an easy and contained drink option!
These Sippy Cups are easy for liquid to flow when the little ones are
drinking, but it’s sealed tight when the cup is tipped, making it
leakproof when it needs to be. AMEN.
Handy OXO Plastic Fork & Spoon Multipack are convenient and sanitary.
Plus, Asher freaked over the container haha. My kids love a container!
The size of the utensils are great for Asher’s chubby little hands- the right size
means less flying or dropping food on the way to his mouth! ;)
And of course, a smart bib! Love these Roll-Up Bibs and how they catch those
stray bites and help protect Hunter’s clothes.
The material is great and I love how wide the neck is – good for my chubby babies. ;)
Don’t forget to put out paper and crayons on the kids table like I did for Thanksgiving.
This will help keep the kids busy and doubles as a table runner!
You can do this for any holiday.
Do you want to get in on this Blueberry Buckle recipe
that my entire family goes gaga over? You need to try it!
We always have extra blueberries on hand for the little ones wanting to snack while it’s baking!

1/4 cup butter or margarine
3/4 cup sugar
1 Egg
2 cup sifted all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup milk
2 cups fresh blueberries, washed
CRUMB TOPPING:

1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
DIRECTIONS:
Cream butter; add sugar and beat until lights.
Add egg and beat well.
Add sifted dry ingredients alternately with milk, beating until smooth.
**Note..don’t pack in flour, or else you’ll need to add more milk to balance that out.**
Fold in berries.
Pour into greased pan (my mom always used a 9x9x2″)
Sprinkle with Crumb Topping.

It’s important to get the kids in on the cooking and meal time memories of the Holidays…
but having the right set up is huge in making those more
good memories and less “I’m going coo coo” memories.
Do you have a special recipe that reminds you of the special Holiday time?
