My 4 year old loves to help out in the kitchen. My 2 year old won't eat anything but chicken nuggets, mac and cheese, and cereal. (I'm only slightly exaggerating.) In attempt to have some fun with them and hopefully get my 2 year old to broaden his food horizons I decided that it's time to make an effort to have more fun in the kitchen so I'm starting "Kids in the Kitchen". Basically I have a day diagnosed for a different meal, snack, or drink where we will make something fun and/or tasty together. I may do something every single day or decide to do a couple a week, or one once a week- playing that part by ear. Here is my plan:
Monday Morning Breakfast
Tuesday's Time for Snakc
Wednesday's Wonderful Dinners
Thirsty Thursday
Friday's Fun Lunches
Today is Friday and we made Waffle Grilled Cheese Sandwiches for lunch. I couldn't get my 2 year old to eat more than a tiny bite (darn), but we had fun making them.
Here is what you need:
Waffle Iron
Butter
Bread
Miracle Whip (or Mustard)
Sliced Ham
Sliced Cheese
Then you make it just like you would a regular grilled cheese sandwich, but use a waffle iron instead or a frying pan or sandwich maker.
Here is our end result!
That is an adorable idea!
