As summer begins to arrive, we are going to find ourselves with our children home on an everyday basis, which will make it more important to find things we can do to entertain them. Here are some fun recipes to do with the kids.

Clown Faces

Large Pancake
3 x Orange Slices
2 x Poached or fried Eggs
1/2 Cherry Tomato

Make the pancakes in advance and set them in oven to keep them
warm. Poach or fry the eggs. To assemble the faces, place the
pancakes on a plate, with eggs for eyes, orange slices for ears and
mouth, and a tomato half for the nose.

NOTE: For a lighter meal, omit the eggs and use apricot or peach
halves for eyes and half a fresh cherry for a nose. Or, omit pancakes,
assemble eggs directly on plate, and add a smile made from chopped,
sauted potatoes.

Daisy Apple

2 Tbs. raisins
2 Tbs. crunchy or creamy peanut butter
1 Mcintosh apple
Peanuts, for garnish (omit if making for small child)

Set aside a few raisins for face. Stir remaining raisins into peanut
butter. With apple corer or paring knife, remove core and seeds from
apple. Using a small knife, push peanut butter mixture into center of
apple. Make a happy face on top of peanut butter using reserved
raisins. Arrange peanut halves around edge of peanut butter forming a
circle. Chill before serving.

Dirt Cups

2 c Milk
1 pk Chocolate Pudding, instant
3 1/2 c Cool Whip
16 oz Oreos
8 Gummy Worms (opt)
8 Plastic flowers (opt)

Pour milk into medium bowl, add pudding mix. Beat until well blended,
1 -2 minutes. Crush Oreos and set aside. Let stand 5 minutes. Stir in
cool whip and half of cookies. To assemble: place 1 Tb crushed cookies
in bottom of 8 oz cup. Fill cups about 3/4 full with pudding mixture.
Top with remaining crumbs. Optional garnish: place flower in middle
and put gummy worm halfway out of “dirt”.
