With a very picky little one, I have to get creative sometimes. Sure, he doesn't want toast with nut butter. But turn it into a fun, silly looking critter and he will devour it.
We created this little piggy snack using Aldi's G-Free bread, Sunbutter, Enjoy Life chocolate chips, and bananas.
Under 5 minutes from start to finish and a winner with the 3 year old.
Over the last few years, I have really missed peanut butter eggs at Easter time. They are by far my favorite candy! With a kiddo with allergies to peanuts, dairy, and gluten, they were definitely banned from our house. After three years of missing out, I finally decided to make my own version.
Sunbutter Eggs
Ingredients 3/4 cup sunbutter 1/2 to 3/4 cup powdered sugar 1 cup Enjoy Life chocolate chips 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
In a small bowl, mix Sunbutter and powdered sugar until the dough can be formed into a ball. Shape dough into egg shapes and place on parchment paper and freeze for an hour. Melt Enjoy Life chips and stir in 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil. Dip eggs into chocolate and place into freezer until firm.
We've had a little table in our basement forever. Hubby picked it up along the side of the road almost 10 years ago, and it's been used as a storage spot since.
Recently, I decided I wanted to change up our tiny dining nook, which is the first thing you see coming in our back door. So I pulled the table out of the basement, bought a $2.50 can of paint from Walmart (Krylon Blue Ocean Breeze), and went to work.
To create the chalk paint effect, I mixed the 8oz container of paint with 2oz of Sheetrock Patch & Repair Compound that we already had at home. I painted two layers all over the table and sealed it with Minwax Paste Finishing Wax (from Lowes for around $9).
So for under $15, we have a fresh, bright table in our little nook. I also added these cute yellow place mats from Target (on clearance for under $2).
