Valentine’s Day Flash Back

Kellie — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 22:52:17 +0000

Good gracious. It seemed like it took forever for 2012 to get here, now Valentine’s Day is upon us! Where did the time go?? I’ve already whipped up some Valentine fun for Kellogg’s and Recipe.Com {which haven’t published yet}, but have yet to start for my own site. I do have some ideas floating around in my head and maybe a few sketched out in my trusty Little Nummies notebook. In the meantime, let’s flashback to some previous Valentine creations…

Cuddly Kids Recipe: Little Lamb Snack

Kellie — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:38:12 +0000

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

Kellie — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 15:21:54 +0000

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 I originally made it without the Fruit Roll-Ups as decoration, but when I showed it to my nephews, they said: “Ooooo, decorate the cup!”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

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.

Cute Kids Dinner Recipe: Chili Penguin

Kellie — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 18:33:26 +0000

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.

Kellie — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 18:24:44 +0000

It’s the New Year and I’m sure many of you have resolved to eat more healthy! Most of the time my girls eat balanced meals, but on those rushed mornings, I’m so glad that there are healthy options in the convenience of a frozen whole wheat waffle!! Delight your kids with a fun spin on the old classic ice cream sundae for breakfast!!

WAFFLE SUNDAE

~ Waffle ~ Banana ~ Craisins ~

Set out chocolate chips, nuts, whip cream, and other fun goodies and let the kids make their own!!

CLICK BELOW FOR MORE INFO:

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.
