While meal planning this week I started looking for something new to feed the kiddos. I was also looking for quick easy ad fun things the little two can make for lunch well at least help me. Then I came across a few yummy recipes that I had forgotten about that the kids just love so I thought I would share them with you you.

French Toast Fresh from the Oven

Ingredients:

8 ounces stale bread, remove crusts and cut into cubes
4 eggs
2 1/2 cups of milk (or half and half)
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup walnuts or Pecans (chopped)

Instructions:

Butter a 9- by 9-inch baking dish. Layer the bread cubes in bottom.
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla until sugar is completely dissolved. Pour over bread cubes and cover. Chill for one hour.

Once chilled, make the topping!
In a small bowl, stir together butter, sugar, and walnuts with a fork until mixture is crumbly and butter is evenly distributed. Sprinkle this mixture over the soaked bread cubes. Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees.

*TIP: Optionally you can serve with a bit of maple syrup or powdered sugar drizzled on top!

And

Turkey Lunch Kabob

Because food on a stick tastes better!

Ingredients:

cheddar cheese, cubed
ham, chicken or turkey breast cubed
green pepper
cherry tomatoes
kabob skewers - *NOTE: for very small children you may want to cut off the sharp point of the kabob or use plastic skewers

Instructions:

Cut cheese and meats into cubes. Cut pepper into chunks.Thread onto skewers alternating cheese, meat, veggies. This makes a great sandwich replacement and makes veggies like peppers and tomatoes more fun for little fingers to try.

Happy Cooking
