Fun Food Ideas: DIY Celebration Waffle Bar

My kids LOVE to have breakfast for dinner (Brinner) and I found that a DIY Waffle Bar complete with Shirley Temples in fun champagne flutes made for a great celebration dinner (birthdays, end of school year, New Year's, etc!).

Disclaimer: In my quest for fun but healthy options, this one is fun but falls within the "in moderation" category for nutrition!!  :o)

Here is what you need:

Waffles!! You know that Waffle Iron you got as a wedding gift?! Dust it off!!
Lots of fun toppings - fruit, marshmallows, whipped cream, chocolate chips, etc. I also put blueberry pie filling in a small crock pot so it was warm.
Last but not least, don't forget the different flavored syrups!!

Fun Food Ideas: St. Patrick's Day Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

I was just cleaning out pictures from my phone and forgot about the little St Patrick's meals I did for the kids. Before I delete the pictures, I thought I'd add it to the blog for future reference!!

Dinner: Individual Shamrock Pizzas

My kids loved that the peppers looked like Four Leaf Clovers - you can't go wrong with a fun pizza!

Lunch: Make Your Own Grilled Chicken Wrap (Spinach Tortilla) 

My daughter loves being able to put her own sandwich wraps together at lunch. I added a green apple and some pickles for some extra green!

Breakfast: Green Smoothies, Fruit Rainbow and a Pot of Gold (Mini Egg Muffin)

Green Smoothie Recipe: 
I really didn't measure - I just put the following into a blender!
Plain Yogurt (about 1 cup)
Kiwi
Banana
Kale (I needed lots to really make it green)
Pineapple
Ice

"Pot of Gold" Mini Egg Muffin: 
6 Eggs
3 Tablespoons of milk
1/3 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Salt & Pepper to taste

Preheat Oven to 350 degrees. Spray Mini Muffin tins. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk until well blended. Fill mini tin about 2/3 full with egg mixture. Bake 8-10 minutes until eggs are set.

This recipe makes about 16 mini eggs, so youl could cut the recipe in half or you can freeze some and use for quick breakfasts later!

Fun Food Ideas: Easy Bunny Face Breakfast

If you are looking for a cute and easy way to greet your kids on Easter morning, try this bunny breakfast!!! Here is what you need:

- Frozen Waffles (I used one regular and one mini waffle, but you can probably cut out a smaller circle from another regular waffle).

- Cool whip

- Cantaloupe slice cut in half for the ears

- Blueberry eyes

- Tip of a Strawberry for nose

- Julienned cantaloupe for the whiskers

**** Here's a tip I learned after my first Bunny Waffle, do the cool whip and blueberry eyes last because the warmth of the waffle will make the cool whip a little runny! 

Happy Easter!!!!! 

Fun Food Ideas: Flower Breakfast

Happy (Belated) Earth Day!!! I meant to do this for the kids for their Earth Day breakfast...but I will admit that I just couldn't drag myself to the grocery store for a cantaloupe and grapes on a Monday night. My kids thought it was great anyway!!!

So here is my cheerful flower made from my favorite mini waffles and cantaloupe and grapes!!!
