Healthy summer snack

My daughter loves parfaits.....but they can get pricey if purchasing individually! I decided to make use of an hour and cut fruit to make it easy for my family to grab and go. While I was cutting, it dawned on me that I can make parfaits at home!!! Mind blown, right?! After cutting fruit and placing in individual large mason jars, I put yogurt in small mason jars and put lids. We can now grab the jar (with the yogurt conveniently in there) and add the fruit, buffet style! Get creative and add toppings!

Hope you enjoy this easy summer treat! 

Dr. Seuss' Birthday: easy classroom idea

It's Dr. Seuss' Birthday!!! We wanted to do something cute for my daughter's class without a big to-do since they will not be "celebrating" much. After doing research on Pinterest, I came upon this poem. 

Letters make words and

words make Suess books,

Which ones you ask?

Well, let’s take a look!

Brown Bar-Ba-Loot Bears and

White truffula fruit

Make for some very yummy “Lorax” loot!

“One Fish, Two Fish” swim about,

while “Horton’s Egg” tries to hatch out!

“If I Ran the Circus” I would have animals galore with a large

“Cat in a Hat” and many, many more!

Enjoy your treat and smile as you eat,

and be glad in this snack that I forgot the “Duck Feet”!

Here is the snack that goes with the poem:

Ingredients:



Cheez-It crackers with letters

Mini marshmallows







Teddy Graham crackers- chocolate





Animal Crackers







Mini robin eggs candy







Goldfish crackers in colors

Mix all ingredients 
and put in a container. Voila......





I sent it with a book for the teacher to read while the students eat their snack.

 A mini-celebration is better than nothing!!! Happy Dr. Seuss' Day!
