We enjoy many of Trader Joe's Indian style frozen meals, and the palak paneer is one of our favorites. In this dish, blended and seasoned spinach is mixed with large cubes of paneer cheese. Just pop it in the microwave and it's ready to eat, preferably on top of a piece of naan!

They may be called dessert bars, but I love these popsicles as a treat on a hot summer afternoon instead of my usual cup of coffee.

In 1945, married Claire Randall finds herself transported back to 18th century Scotland, where she meets Highlander Jamie Fraser. The series moves back and forth between both time periods, captivating viewers with a great mix of breathtaking scenery, steamy romance, and lots of action. I resisted this series for years as it didn't seem to be my typical style, but by the second episode I was hooked.

Dinosaur Train, a PBS Kids animated show, was a favorite of all three of my children when they were preschoolers. Buddy the T-rex is adopted by a Pteranodon family and they ride the "Dinosaur Train" through the Mesozoic meeting and learning about various dinosaur species. Featuring engaging characters, catchy songs, and lots of dinosaur facts, this is a great show to encourage curiosity and exploration.

Lego Masters is a reality competition show featuring two-person teams competing to build Lego creations based on a given theme. The projects are unbelievably elaborate and our entire family was enthralled watching the competitors build.

When they're not going to school or playing sports, the six siblings from That's Amazing are filming challenges and trick shots for their YouTube channel. The channel primarily features the oldest teenage brothers, but their younger siblings are also involved. My son loves watching kids his own age perform and the videos often inspires competitions of our own!

Do your kids like watching trick shot videos? Create an unlimited number of trick shots or games using the set of 8 wooden nesting boxes and bouncy balls. My 8-year-old loved coming up with different challenges for the entire family.

Use strategy and a little bit of luck to beat a variety of menacing creatures! Players use their hand of cards and a roll of the die to try to capture giggling goblins, fire-breathing dragons, spooky spiders, and more. The die and playing cards are all richly illustrated and the game is easy to learn. We have been playing constantly with my 9yo since Christmas.
