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.

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

  The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What  you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.
