If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time, the insane asylums would be filled with mothers. ~Edgar W. Howe

Kids Snacks


Thanks to Pinterest I found some fun snack food ideas that we'll be testing out before summer ends.

(speaking of Pinterest... ummm have you joined yet?...
...take it from this "easily addicted momma"...
...it's FAB-u-lous.)

But today is about KID FRIENDLY SNACKS... not the totally cool, addictive Pinterest ... you know, I'm like a moth to a flame .... mkay?

Moving along ... So, my kids love all things "peanut butter"... pb & apples, pb & bananas... pb&j... and so on... and so on.

Last year we made these...

...go HERE to see our version of...

APPLE TEETH
apples
creamy peanut butter
mini marshmallows

New additions that we'll be trying for this year...

1.
HOMEMADE MOZZARELLA STICKS
string cheese
wonton wrap

2.
SPAGHETTI FRANKS

3.
HOMEMADE EGG MCMUFFINS
... just bake eggs in muffin tin for the perfect "mcmuffin"...
...easy peasy...

3.
APPLE DONUTS
apple
p. butter
granola
chocolate chips

And last but not least...
4.
CHOC. CHIP COOKIE BOWL
... just add ice cream


I know right... it's another, "WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT?" moment...

So the kids have decided to test the mozzarella sticks first... we'll be back with our "professional" opinion. {wink}

And by-the-way... I tried THIS ... and it's awesome.



...go make it now... momma's orders.

LOVE Pinterest, thanks for sharing some of your fun food finds!!! What's your link for there?

The spaghetti franks or "octopus for lunch", as we like to call them, are a HUGE HIT at our house. Add a baby carrot and *poof* a nutritious meal! :-)

And I LOVE that your kids want to try the mozz sticks first. Are you sure they are not MY kids? Nothing better than fried cheese.
XOXO Nik

I've tried the speghetti franks and it freaked my 3 year old out. He's the typical cautious older child. Love you! Love your blog! Always a fun visit.
