I saw something like this on Pinterest and almost passed it by, because honestly it didn't 'look' that appealing. But my kiddos are huge grilled cheese fans so I checked it out and realized my boys would love this! We roll a lot of food around here, cheese wraps, pb wraps, meat rolls etc whatever gets the kids to eat, so combining grilled cheese with a roll form was a natural fit around here. And as expected the kids gobbled them up!Grilled Cheese Dippers~Perfect for dipping into ketchup or … [Read more...]

I was able to pick up a few others things though and cross at least one person off of our list. The little boys were so good for me during our excursion we hopped over to McDonald's for lunch. Have you seen these new McD's? Apparently they have all been … [Read more...]

These Oreo Pudding Pops are so easy and the kids will love them! We use our popsicle molds all year round, I've posted about our most frequent way to use them before with yogurt (here), but in the summer we try to have a little fun and I make the boys Oreo Pudding Pops. It actually has nothing to do with the cookie, the name gives props to. It's just the chocolate, vanilla, chocolate layering that looks like the famous oreo cookie. They are a big hit with the boys at our house and make a nice … [Read more...]
