We used to walk down to the local drug store with our nickels and dimes in hand, and just gorge ourselves silly until we simply couldn't chew any more.
I was curious to see how many of my old time favorite candies from the 70's and early 80's were still in existence, so I did a little research and here's what I found. I suppose I should preface that I'm now 40, so these are the candy's that I ate as a kid.
These days, it seems like my daughter is hungry every 5 minutes! The kid is a bean pole too, so I'm not sure where she's putting it. I found myself telling her to 'grab some crackers', or worse - chips, on a regular basis. I then realized that perhaps a non-stop diet of snacky crackers is not the best path.
Throwing a backyard pool party? Or 'run through the sprinklers' party? Never fear..here are some ideas for fast, easy food that kids will love, and your wallet will love even more.
Driving home through some farmy area, there was an enticing sign that said 25 avocados for $5. My husband, giddy with guacamole glee, pulled over and proclaimed our need for 100 avocados.
This one takes about 3 minutes, depending on how fast you can chop. I chop dangerously fast.
My garden is chock full of rainbow chard, so I'm always looking for ways to cook it. Since my seven year old announced that 'Chard is gross', I knew I had to get really creative in order for her to eat its leafy green goodness.
Fresh chard is in season, so I am always looking for easy ways to good it up, in order to take advantage of it's nutritional goodness..and have my child eat it. Always a tricky feat.
Cold? Warm up with my mean green thai curry recipe! You don't have to be precise when doing this one, and it's quick!
