Fun Food Ideas: Angry Bird Waffle

 

 

My daughter was on a special trip this week which left two sad and envious brothers at home with us. I thought that a breakfast in one of their favorite themes might just cheer them up!!

 

This is a pretty easy creation and you have some options on the fruits and toppings to make the Angry Bird itself, but I'll show you how I put mine together:

 

Ingredients:

1 Large Frozen Waffle

2 Mini Frozen Waffles

Strawberries, Watermelon or Raspberries (for red body)

Mango, Peach, Nectarine or Orange slice (for beak)

Blueberries or Chocolate Chips (for eyes and eyebrow)

Vanilla Yogurt or Whipped Cream (for eyes)

 

Directions:  

1) Slice up your red fruit (I used strawberries and watermelon) and place them on the plate in an arch, leaving a wedge at the bottom.

2) Cut a wedge out of the large round waffle (after it has been toasted, of course!)

3) Place the waffle wedge onto the plate in the space you left for it.

4) Add yogurt or whipped cream to the 2 mini waffles and add blueberries for the eyes

 

5) Add the mango, peach or orange foe the beak

 

 

 

 

6) Add blueberries for eyebrows

Fun Food Ideas: Flag Waffle

This was my last day of school breakfast for the kids...celebrating them "sailing through" yet another year!

Fun Food Ideas: Dump Truck Waffle

Here is a fun one I made for my twin boys (we read Good Night Construction Site at bedtime which inspired me to make this fun breakfast for them!)

What you need: 

2 Frozen Belgian Waffles
2 Frozen Mini Waffles
Blueberries
Whip Cream (or yogurt)

Directions: 

Cut one row off of one of the square waffles to use as the truck bed. Cut the other square waffle at a diagonal to make the truck cab. I used a tip of a strawberry for a headlight, but you can use a blueberry!

I had this great place-mat for the boys which made for the perfect plate and construction background!! This waffle design was big enough for both my boys to share!!  I just had them dip the waffles into a little dish of syrup instead of pouring it right on top. 

Fun Food Ideas: Pig Waffles

This week's waffle creation was inspired by some really cute pig cupcakes that my sister-in-law made. When I saw them, I thought that pigs would make a really great waffle idea too!!

My boys are going on a field trip to the zoo with their class, so I thought an animal themed waffle breakfast was in order, so here is my pig waffle!!!

I really love that the kids like the yogurt on the waffle with the fresh fruit instead of sugary syrup - it is a win-win! 

What you need:

1 regular waffle
1 mini waffle
2 blueberries
1 strawberry
2 chocolate chips or Mini M&M's
strawberry yogurt

5) Put the mini waffles on the top of the regular round waffle and at the base of the head/ears.
