Johnny Appleseed Toast

This is another Kids in the Kitchen recipe and of course another apple themed recipe for apple month. The recipe is from 'Cooking with Kids Can Be Easy' and it has always been a winner around here.

What you need:

1 apple

Honey to drizzle

2 slices of cinnamon raisin bread

Butter to spread

Cinnamon to sprinkle


What you do:



Slice your apples thin and spread butter on your bread. You can use any kind of apple you like.



Place your apples on your buttered bread like so. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with cinnamon.

Place your bread slices on a baking sheet and toast them under your broiler for about 30 secs. Keep an eye on them!



Don't they look yummy? Believe me they taste yummy too!

Applesauce Parfaits

YAY for Apple Month! This is one of my favorite apple recipes. It is so quick and easy. It is a great afternoon snack or breakfast. My son loves it for breakfast with his hardboiled eggs. I hope you and your kids like it too.
By the way, this is a great recipe to get your kids in the kitchen and helping.

Applesauce Parfaits

What you need:

*Applesauce

*Cinnamon

*Honey

*Graham Crackers

What you do:

Crush your graham crackers until they are fine. I love using my rolling pin for this but a glass would work. I use 4 crackers for one parfait. My son loves this part. Pour part of the cracker crumbs in a glass.

Add a few tablespoons of applesauce to the glass.


Sprinkle with cinnamon and drizzle with honey, looks good so far. Now keep layering until your glass is full. Top with the rest of your crumbs, honey and cinnamon.

Here is the finished product...

So fun to look at, fun to make and fun to eat! Now get your kids in the kitchen and start cooking!

Kids In The Kitchen: Welsh Rarebit

This is another one of the recipes my son made in the Kids Cooking class he took at my school this past summer. When he first told me the name of this recipe I have to say I hesitated for a second, I could have sworn he said 'rabbit' instead of 'rarebit.' I was a little freaked out for a brief amount of time. I realize some people love eating rabbit, I am not one of those people however.

But I digress, I do that often, here is the recipe for Welsh Rarebit from his cookbook he brought home. We have made this several times and he loves it.

WELSH RAREBIT

2 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
Few grains cayenne pepper
1 tsp. dry mustard or prepared mustard
1 c. milk
1 1/2 c. cheddar cheese, cut in cubes

Melt butter; add flour, cheese, seasonings, in double boiler. As cheese melts, gradually add milk. Stir until thickened. Serve over toast or saltine crackers.

*We serve ours over toast, he likes sliced french bread with his.

Oh and just for fun here is the Welsh Flag.



Kiddo loves this, but then most 9 year old boys think dragons are cool.

Yes, you read that right and they are delicious. Watermelon is one of the best parts of the summer and any way I can make it is bound to be a good way.
