You know, kids like parties, at least mine do. They always want to know if we are going to have a Superbowl party, and several don’t even like football. Here are a couple of recipes that kids can do for their own Superbowl party, so that when you are passing the Buffalo wings they won’t be staring at you with puppy eyes!
Ham & Cheese on Pretzel Sticks
Take cubes of ham and carefully push onto small pretzel sticks. Repeat with cubes of cheese.
Fruit and Veggie Plate with Peanut Butter Dip
Slices of Apple, Pear, and Banana,Celery, and Carrots
Mix dip:
1/2 c peanut butter
3 Tbs honey
1/2 tsp vanilla
Blend well.
Granola Peanut Butter Hors D’ Oeuvres
Toast, cut with cookie cutters into football shapes.
Spread with peanut butter.
Sprinkle with granola
Cinnamon Roll Ups
Flour tortillas
Cream cheese
Cinnamon
Sugar
Chopped pecans or walnuts
Spread warm tortillas with cream cheese. Sprinkle wiht sugar and cinnamon mixture. Toss on some choppped pecans. Roll. Cut on the diagonal in 2 pieces. Serve.
Tie Dyed Tortilla Chips
Ranch Dip
Set these out for the kids and add some coloring pages, and crayons for the littler kids and some wordsearches for the bigger ones. You can find some good ones here.
We are all kids at heart Marye!!
Valli!
How are you feeling? I saw a PBS special on Greece and thought of you yesterday.
oh, the memories… this takes me back to the days of ants on a log, sometimes with cream cheese, sometimes peanut butter on the celery. and, of course, english muffin pizzas (i just made a couple last week, in fact)!
LOL! I usually carve baby carrots to look like goldfish..ahhh..the things moms do.
I love the recipes for children! I think that’s it is good for them to learn to cook and party plan! It shows them how to share, do kind things for others, and teaches them a valuable life skill!
When cooking with children for this year’s Superbowl Parties, I think we need to take a previous Superbowl commercial into consideration; Tide-to-go “Talking Stain” Ad. As kids are giving the freedom to take over the kitchen, drinks and food are bound to be spilled all over! If the kids behave, then the men in our lives are bound to spill beer and dipping sauce as they shout at the television.
To keep our homes and our friends clean (and maintaining good impressions), might I suggest having Tide-to-go pens at the party?
On behalf of Tide, I’d like everyone to know that Tide is offering a coupon at Tidetogo.com (stock up and be the “Hero” at the party!)
Also, if you loved the “Talking Stain” commercial, you can vote for it to be named the top Superbowl commercial on CBS.com There will be a show revealing the top choice on Jan 31, 2009. Vote here: http://www.cbs.com/superbowl (Then at 8p.m. ET, watch the show and vote live to pick between the top 3!)
