Goofy Kids Breakfast: Snow Tubing Banana

Kellie — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 19:57:39 +0000

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.

To make Waffle Sundae:

Place the waffle into toaster at lightest setting. Two toastings may be required to heat completely. Cut the waffle almost in half. Place the larger piece on plate for the bowl. Cut a small strip of the remainder piece of waffle for the decoration at the top of the ice cream. Arrange the sliced banana on plate as the ice cream. Take the rest of the waffle and tear it into little pieces. Roll the pieces into balls and place in banana gaps. Bunch 4 craisins together for the cherry and put in place. Cut 1 craisin in half and make the stem.

Kids Thanksgiving Breakfast: One Little Indian Bagel

Kellie — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 15:15:13 +0000

We — as in, “we the people” — wouldn’t even be celebrating Thanksgiving if it weren’t for the Wampanoag Indians, who, 400 years ago, were kind enough to show the Pilgrims how to plant corn, wheat, and other crops. Every Thanksgiving our family always finds something to be thankful for. Right now, I’m thankful that my middle daughter’s foot isn’t broken (she has to stay off of it, but it isn’t broken!). Since she’s home from school, I had more time to fix her breakfast this morning. Her request for a bagel with cream cheese turned into a Thanksgiving history lesson about Indians.
Learning can be quite tasty!

I just LOVE how easy this is!!!

Here at my house, we make pan size pancakes!
{Basically, I’m too lazy to stand at the stove and flip a bunch of little ones!!}

Case in point:

It just makes sense to me to make 1 big one instead of 4 little ones!!

On with instructions: Use any small heart shaped cookie cutter you have and cut out 4 hearts and then cut a strip off the edge for the stem, as shown:

{ Look at all the leftover goodness for you to eat!! }

Assemble pieces into the shape of a shamrock and enjoy!!
