One yummy idea

The monkeys are having the time of their life playing with Ms. Carlee. She is the perfect combo of your best friend, a sister, a mind reader, a science teacher, a fashion consultant, a warm cup of tea, a baby whisperer, an adult child... I could keep going on and on. You get the idea, we adore this woman. Everyday she has a new adventure for the monkeys. The other day, it was yummy Frozen yogurt cereal fruit happy snack. That was a long name...

Frozen Yogurt Fruit Bites

Ingredients:
- Fresh fruit
- bamboo skewers
- favorite cereal
- greek yogurt (or any kid of yogurt) I personally prefer the sweeter kinds
- plastic bag 
- chocolate spread


What I love about these projects 
- She explains the steps, but the monkeys are in charge
- there is no right or wrong way of doing things
- I get to hear all the stories about the process, then taste and enjoying what they make

C washed all the fruit. Decided on a pattern and assembled the skewers. They covered some fruit with Yogurt, and then mashed cereal. They had the yummy idea of covering bananas with chocolate spread. At the end, all the fruit went in the freezer on a tray. After it froze C sorted the different kinds on plastic bags. Science, math, chemistry, language, all packed in a fun hour long activity.


Perfect for a hot summer morning snack. Try it out. I hope you enjoy!

The Force is strong with this one. The "Mexican" force

I tell you...Nature couldn't be any wiser. It amazes me how different these little people (my kids) can be. Even when they are trying to mimic one another, they each inject their unique flavor into each one of their actions. My older daughters do not like spicy food at all, they won't have anything to do with it. So like their mother they routinely miss out on a lot of delicious meals prepared by my in-laws. However, unlike his sisters, this little man has found his way to yumminess. He just passed the 1 year mark, and you can already find him asking for more when it comes to 'salsa' as in chopped tomatoes, onions, cilantro and lime juice. No chips needed by the way. That is his 'Mexican' gene coming thru. All I need to do now is make sure he also likes my 'salsa'. El Gran Combo, Fania All Stars, Conjunto Clasico. Yeah, I'm a 'salsa vieja' lover kind of mom.
