Today’s Snacks

December 21, 2011 by NZ Filbruns Leave a Comment

I don’t very often fix a snack for the children, but today I was inspired to make not one but two!  For an afternoon snack, I took a cup and a half or so of ricotta cheese that was in the fridge, and mixed in a bit of salt and some oregano and basil, then spread it on crackers.  That was quite popular!

Busy making sure he got his fair share–and then some, maybe!

After supper and clean-up, I made some quick milkshakes.  I filled the food processor about half full of sliced frozen bananas, then covered them with milk and added a bit of vanilla and a pinch of salt, and ran the processor until it was smooth and thick.  I spooned it into tea cups and everyone enjoyed the treat!

Boys discussing their plans for tomorrow as they enjoyed their treat.
