Kids in the Kitchen- Friday's Fun Lunches (late)

I didn't get this posted on Friday!  Mario really wanted to make a fun lunch on Friday and I didn't have anything planned (slacking).  What I did though was make him a pbj, cut it diagonally and made it look like a butterfly, using carrots for the middle.  He thought it was great and it was as easy as can be!

Bacon Melt

Basically to make a Bacon Melt you just add bacon to a grilled cheese sandwich.  :)  Actually, it was suppose to have a slice of tomato on it too, but I didn't want to press my luck.  Today was somewhat of a flop.  No one wanted to help me make anything and my two year old didn't want anything to do with it.

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!
