Holi-Day


This post is about a holi-day. There is a kids DIY craft along

with a recipe for kids and adults to enjoy while spending time together.


First....

Gingerbread art; what you'll need is craft paper, craft paint and a metal gingerbread cookie cutter. Let your child dip the cookie cutter into

different inks to arrange their perception of art.




Kids snack; This recipe has 20 servings.

What you'll need:

1 can salted large peanuts

1/2 11.4oz bag Christmas M&M's

1/2 11.4oz bag Christmas peanut butter M&M's

2 bags sour cherry balls (small)

2c mini pretzels

2c mini marshmallows

Chex muddy buddies (how to make next)

Chex Muddy Buddies;

9c rice chex

1/2c creamy peanut butter

1c semi sweet chocolate chips

1 1/2c powdered sugar


Create:

Start by making the chex mix so it has time to cool.

In a small microwave safe bowl, add the peanut butter

and chocolate chips. Microwave for 1 minutes and stir, add up

to another 30 seconds until everything is smooth and creamy.


Pour the chocolate over the cereal in a large bowl and stir to combine.

Place half of the powdered sugar in a large ziploc bag, add half

of the chex and seal shut, shake to coat the cereal. 


Pour out onto parchment paper or a cookie sheet to cool and repeat

with remaining cereal and powdered sugar. In a large bowl once the muddy buddies are cool, add all ingredients and toss to combine.


Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.




Adult drink; Cranberry Mimosa

Combine 1 part cranberry juice and 2 parts champagne or sparkling

wine into a champagne flute. Top with fresh cranberries and a sprig

of rosemary if you want to go with the extra touch.


Follow the crafts with your family's favorite Christmas movie

while you eat the snack and enjoy your drink.

Now you can do the nachos or you can create your own shit on a shingle version with a piece of toast and melted cheese on top of the toast with the buffalo chicken on top...hmmmm... Anyways, here ya go. Recipe makes 6-8 servings. What you'll need: Nachos.... 1/3 - 1/2c you're favorite hot sauce 3c cooked shredded chicken 8-10oz tortilla chips 1 1/3 - 2c shredded Mexican blend cheese Topping.... 1/2c plain greek yogurt 3-5T more of hot sauce 3-4 green onions thinly sliced Create: Preheat the oven to 400˚F. In a medium bowl, mix the hot sauce with the shredded chicken until well coated. Set aside. Place the tortilla chips in an even layer on a baking sheet, face side up so the chips will hold the toppings. Add the chicken evenly over the chips, followed by the cheese. Bak

Lower the pot to a simmer and take a towel over your head and put your head over the pot. Chicken Soup, yes you read that right!
