Vegan Birria Tacos:

Start by adding one package of dried hibiscus flowers to a mixing bowl .

Add hot water at 180F and let the flowers soak to open up the flowers for 15-20 minutes each time. You’ll do this twice.

During the second time you soak with water you’ll add 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar. Let soak for 15-20 minutes.

Rinse with the third and final time with cold water. Place your hand in the bowl in a circular motion and throughly clean the flowers .

Next make the birria sauce .

Birria Red Sauce Ingredients:

Start by boiling a pot of water add in 4 carrots , 4-6 small bay leaves ,1 large white or brown onion , 6 dry California chile pods , 6 dry Guajillo peppers , 6 cloves of garlic , 2 Tbsp (vegan) chicken bullion

Once all items in your pot are soft add to a blender. Place the bay leaves to the side you’ll use them later . Use the water from the pot in the blender to get a smooth sauce .

Place the sauce back into the pot and turn it on a medium heat . Add in the hibiscus flowers . Place the bay leaves back into the pot with the sauce and the hibiscus. Let it simmer for 20-30 minutes until everything is combined . Personally I think the longer it’s in the sauce the better . Next day the dish is even better than day one ☺️you can store in the fridge or make this large batch and freeze it.

Gardening with a two-year-old is less about cultivating a perfect garden and more about sensory exploration, developing motor skills, and having fun outdoors. The key is to keep activities simple, supervised, and embrace the inevitable mess and “help” that may involve some destruction.

Tips for Success
Designate a “toddler zone”:

Create a specific area, like a small patch of dirt or a few pots, where your toddler can dig freely with child-safe tools without disturbing your delicate plants.

Use child-sized tools: Provide a small, lightweight watering can and appropriate tools, as adult-sized ones can be too heavy and frustrating for tiny hands.

Prioritize fun over perfection: Expect some chaos, like 30 seeds in one hole or a newly planted seedling being pulled out. The goal is to foster a positive association with the garden.

Focus on the process: Activities like planting large seeds, watering, and finding worms are more engaging for a toddler than weeding or meticulous tasks.

Supervise closely: Keep an eye on your child to ensure they don’t put non-edible plants or organic fertilizers in their mouth, and always use child-safe, non-poisonous plants.

Engaging Activities

Watering: This is often a favorite activity for toddlers, who love playing with water. A bucket of water and a small cup is also a great alternative to a hose.

Digging for worms: Toddlers can be fascinated by bugs and worms. Give them a small shovel and a patch of dirt to go on a “worm hunt”.

Planting: Choose large seeds, like peas, beans, or sunflowers, which are easier for small hands to handle.

Harvesting: They can help pick ripe items like cherry tomatoes, snap peas, or strawberries, which offers an immediate reward and a chance to taste the fresh produce.

Sensory play: A simple mud kitchen or sensory bin with dirt, water, and various containers can provide hours of fun and exploration.
