4th of July Dipped Strawberries & Rocket Dog

I am having some fun with food this week with my little girls since the 4th of July is on Friday. Monday night we decide to have a 4th of July theme dinner with Dipped strawberries and Rocket Dogs. Of course I found both these great ideas on Pinterest!! I love pinterest!!

For the Rocket dogs first you need to stick the skewers through the hot dog.

Then take any dough (I used biscuits dough) and roll it into a long line.

Then wrapped the dough around the hot dog and bake.

Then once the hot dogs are done baking let them cool and stick a piece of white cheese (that is cut like a triangle) at the tip of the skewer. Then tie some ribbon on the bottom of the skewer and you have your Rocket Dog! For the strawberries just dip them in white melted chocolate and then blue sprinkles. Put them in the fridge to harden the chocolate.

The girls loved this special 4th of July dinner and thought is was so cool!

Jack-O-Lantern Lunch Ideas

I love to make my girls' lunches fun to go with the holidays and themes of the season. My oldest Ari loves to show off her lunch at school to all her friends. So here are some "Jack-O-Lantern" ideas I have made for Ari and Bri for their lunches.

Jack-o-Lantern Grilled Cheese Sandwich

To make this all you need is a pumpkin shape cookie cuter and a sharp knife. Cut two slices of bread and a slice of cheese into a pumpkin shape. Cut a Jack-o-Lantern face out of one of them with the sharp knife.

 Then cook your grilled cheese like you usual would.

That is it!

PB & J / Turkey & Cheese Sandwich

Make your kiddos their favorite sandwich and use pumpkin cookie cutter to cut out the pumpkin shape. Then decorate the sandwich with your child's favorite candy skittles, M&M's, chocolate chips etc.



Jack-o-Lantern Cuties

Decorate a cutie (which are smalls oranges) with a sharpie/black marker creating a Jack-o-Lantern face.

Jack-O-Lantern Fruit Cups

Draw a Jack-O-Lantern face on a peach or orange fruit cups with a sharpie/black marker.

You can also do these ideas for Halloween Parties as well.

Jack O Lantern Cheese Quesadilla

This recipe is easy and fun to make for you and your kiddos.

Ingredients:

• Flour Tortilla
• Olive Oil Spray
• Mexican Mix Shredded cheese
• Edible Color Markers (you can find this in the cake decorating sections)

Have your child make a Jack o Lantern face on one tortilla with the edible marker. If you have little ones you can do this step yourself or just help them. I helped Bri make her shapes on her face.

While you are cutting out the face (that the children drew) have them add the cheese to the other tortilla.

Then have the children put the face tortilla on the tortilla that has cheese on it.

Put it in the oven @350 for 5-7 minutes on the bottom rack and then 5-7 minutes on the top rack to toast it on both side. All oven are different so keep an eye on the tortilla because some might bake faster than other.

Bri's tortilla is on the left and Ari's tortilla is on the right.

The girls really like being able to make their own food.
