Welcome! We’re Amy & Rachel

Hello and welcome! I’m Amy from Denver, CO, (left) along with my sister-in-law, Rachel (right).

As moms of 5 small kiddos (between us), we consider every day an opportunity to improve the lives of other hard working moms and dads who need a break from the to-do lists and want more time to say “yes” to the kids—so we strive to bring you simple recipes, full of shortcuts, that save you that precious commodity of time, while staying healthy, easy and kid-friendly.

🎉Add some of natures goodness into your morning

🎉Add some of natures goodness into your morning yogurt with 🍓Mixed Berry Compote. Fresh (or frozen) berries with just a little juice and you have a delicious topping for waffles, ice cream, or like my kids💕 love, on top of hot biscuits. Bonus points because of the 0% guilt I feel heaping it on anything since it has no refined sugar!

Here at The Oven Light 💡we don't believe in cut

Here at The Oven Light 💡we don't believe in cutting foods out because it's January (dessert is a non-negotiable any time 🗓️of year) but we do believe in adding foods into our diet, like the new Perfect Parmesan Broccoli! Sauteéd crisp broccoli🥦 with a sprinkling of parmesan makes this a side dish to be desired. Contrary to what our younger selves believed, veggies can be delicious.
What food do you love now that you hated as a kid?

📣 We are So excited to announce our #paidpartne

📣 We are So excited to announce our #paidpartnership with @505southwestern ! So without further ado we present... Tomatillo Salsa Pretzel Bites! The secret 🤫 of this recipe is the 505 Tomatillo Salsa is used in lieu of water in the pretzel dough, which results in a flavor 💥 explosion in every bite. Then baked until golden brown on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside. And to make this even more mouth watering dip them in 505SW Green Chile Queso™. Perfect for a 🎄 holiday party (even if that is just you binge watching Hallmark movies in your pjs on the couch). So lets get to snacking!

⏰ Saving time with the crockpot is clutch in our household—especially around the holidays 🎄.

My favorite time-saving crockpot recipe is pulled pork for these ahhhhmazing Korean BBQ Tacos 🌮🌮🌮. They are LIFE CHANGING delicious 🤤. Plus, you can make all the elements ahead of time and then just assemble when it's time to eat. Doesn't get any easier than that! Way to go, you genius. 🤓
