We've had some interesting lunches this week. I found these crazy noodles at World Market the other day and we HAD to try them! :)
First, we of course had to explore each and every one. (Yes, all noodles guaranteed to have been touched by a child's hand! But they were boiled...so it's ok, right??) They loved discussing the textures, colors, and shapes of each one. My baby said they smelled funny. Have you ever smelled a dry noodle? They kinda do smell funny! :)
My favorite is the little flowery one. Notice how the bowties are yellow and pink...
When we cooked them, the bowties turned to yellow and orange! We just tossed these with a tiny bit of butter and added some diced tomatoes on top...one of my kids favorite ways to eat pasta. :)
Yesterday, we had another hands-on lunch.
I did this at K.Kamp this past summer and all my kiddos loved it. I decided to try it with my kids. Here are the ingredients that I had at each person's spot:
~ one organic whole wheat tortilla
~ almond butter
(have you ever tried that?? SO. GOOD. similar to peanut butter, of course.)
~ strawberry jelly
~ pretzel pieces
~apple chunks
~ craizins
~ mini marshmallows...just for fun :)
Then I called my little chefs to the table to put whatever they wanted on their tortilla.
She's such a goofball! :D
Next, we folded over the tortilla, cut it with a pizza cutter (easiest way to cut tortillas!)...
And I got three thumbs up from my kiddos! :)
