Who doesn’t love a nice little frozen treat in the middle of summer? And how about one that’s so simple a toddler can make it? When I saw this idea in our PBS Do It Myself Cookbook I knew we needed to try it! This little…
Easy Egg Salad
Were there egg shells in this egg salad? You bet there was! That’s what happens when toddlers make the entire thing. But, the recipe was really good and it was fun that the kids got to make our lunch today. They ate the entire thing, so…
Mini Muffin Pancakes
This recipe was such a fun creative outlet for my toddlers. Was the final product incredibly delicious? To me, it really wasn’t, but the kids ate a ton of them and were proud of what they did. 🙂 They would be delicious with just raspberries, blueberries,…
Bananas for Muffins
I love muffins, but I am not a huge fan of bananas. These are the only banana muffins I have ever made that I really love, and since I always have a few extra bananas that are starting to go brown, this is the perfect excuse…
Leftover Rice Pudding
WHAT TO DO WITH LEFTOVER RICE? I always have leftover rice from dinner and I’m never sure what to do with it. But I love rice pudding. It’s a comfort food. One day I had a small amount of leftover white rice in the fridge, and…
Delicious Disney Dole Whip
I am a huge fan of recipes that take less than five ingredients, so this recipe fit neatly into my “perfect recipe for kids” category. I was a little skeptical that the consistency would turn out less like ice-cream and more like a smoothie, but I was…
Dreamy Orange Creamies
These orange creamsicles were delicious. My husband came home and ate three and then asked if we could make more… which, of course, we did. They were smooth and creamy and tasted like an Orange Julius on a stick. The great part about it is they…
Veggie and Hummus Pitas
I love to expose my kids to vegetables even when they don’t chose to eat them often. This was a great experience for little miss 2 to make! I love that she chose to spread the hummus on the outside of the pita and pile on…
Bread in a Bag
This bread tasted really good. I was a little skeptical when I saw those cute little misshapen balls of dough go into the pans but they turned out amazing. I ate almost a half a mini loaf while the kids were napping…terrible, I know. HOW TO…
Cinnamon Toast Hearts
This is a variation on a traditional cinnamon toast my mom used to make for us growing up… sometimes as a bedtime snack or a family night treat. I think this would make a delicious part of a mother’s day breakfast made by the kids, showing their…
Blackberry Banana Bliss Smoothie
This was such an easy recipe for kids. My two-year-old could easily do the entire thing by herself. Kids loved chopping the banana and pouring all the ingredients into the blender. They especially loved pushing the button and watching everything blend together. The consistency probably wasn’t…
Berry-Melon Breakfast Sundae
This “breakfast sundae” was delicious and really fun to make with my toddlers! My favorite moment from the cooking process was when little miss two was scooping out the honeydew with the ice cream scoop, and as soon as she got it the melon went flying…
