Cuddly Kids Recipe: Little Lamb Snack

Ok, so in the children’s song, it’s Mary’s little lamb that follows her to school, but it’s unlikely that this little fella would make it all in one piece in the lunchbox. No matter … if your kids are like mine, they come home from school absolutely famished! One day they each came home to their own “little lamb” waiting for them, and boy did they love it!

Wintry Kids Lunch: “Hot Cocoa” Sandwich

Oh, the joys of hot cocoa in the winter — the steaming cup of chocolatey goodness, especially with little marshmallows! In keeping with the season, I made this super simple “hot cocoa” sandwich. I originally made it without the Fruit Roll-Ups as decoration, but when I showed it to my nephews, they said: “Ooooo, decorate the cup!”  So I did, but it’s completely optional. Decorate it as silly as you want, or leave it plain.

Goofy Kids Breakfast: Snow Tubing Banana

Snow. I wish it would here in the Carolinas! There are so many fun activities to do in the snow, from snowball fights to catching snowflakes on your tongue, and if you’re lucky, you’ll have enough snow for snow tubing! I loved tubing when I was younger. Bringing a bit of winter fun to the breakfast table sparked some conversations about my childhood memories. I wish we lived in a colder climate so my children could experience the thrills of a winter wonderland. Maybe we will one day, but until then, we’ll have to live vicariously through our little banana friend.

Cute Kids Dinner Recipe: Chili Penguin

The temperature has really dropped here in the Carolinas. And thank goodness — I was starting to worry that winter was never going to arrive! With colder weather comes warm-you-up comfort food like soups and chili, which, to my joy, our family loves. I don’t know about your family, but we enjoy our piping hot chili with all the goodness of corn chips and cheese. Yum! Since we eat chili often this time of year, I decided to come up with a fun little penguin to greet my kids when they came to the dinner table.
