Rainbow Grilled Cheese

A couple years ago, for St. Patrick's Day we made rainbow grilled cheese and I thought it was such a fun idea that could be used any time you want to make lunch more fun!  I had a few people ask how to make it, so I put the instructions here.

Rainbow Grilled Cheese Recipe

All you need to create this colourful meal is bread, butter, white cheese, and food colouring.

Start by grating your cheese (we used havarti mixed with mozarella) and separate into four bowls.  This article recommends some of the best cheeses for melting and getting a stringy effect- which is a big bonus for rainbow grilled cheese sandwiches!

Rainbow Cookies

This rainbow cookies post became very popular so I created a recipe tutorial with pictures of how to make these cookies if you would like to check it out and try making them yourself!

In honour of St. Patrick's Day one year, we made some fabulous rainbow cookies! :)

St. Patrick's Day Blast from the Past

St. Patrick's Day is coming up on the 17th!

One of our favourite ways to celebrate St. Patrick's Day is to make a green breakfast!




We've done some fun rainbow treats, too- like a rainbow cake:




...and rainbow cupcakes: (which might look more St. Patricks-y if you used primary colours... I'm on a quest to acquire some good primary colour food colouring this week because we've got plans ;)




I should've added our Fruitloop Rainbow! Better late than never :)




St. Patty's Blast From the Past #2 Post is Here!

Facepaint for Fun!

Ever done facepaint for no reason? Just to spice up a regular day?

I still remember how exciting it was to be able to wear face paint on Hallowe'en!

And it sure excites my girls :) So, one day we just got out the face paints & put a sparkly rainbow on her face for no reason.

We have the power to add a little magic to our kids' lives- even when there's no special occasion :)

Rainbow Cake

For Talia's "Family Party", she wanted a rainbow theme. This is the rainbow cake that I made for her: I only did one layer of round cake, and that really wasn't a big enough cake for all of the family we had over (luckily we had some ice cream to go with it, but next time, I hope I'll remember that we need something larger!) I was really happy with the way that it turned out, though! Now that I've made a couple of cakes recently, I'm feeling ready to conquer something bigger... I've got plans for an even cooler rainbow cake for St. Patrick's day... ;)

Fruitloop Rainbow

An oldie but a goodie... Talia LOVED the idea of this activity (once I told her I'd give her some to eat since she couldn't eat the glued ones ;).



What You Need:

- fruitloops
- paper
- glue
- marshmallows (if you want to make clouds like they did on Mommy's Adventures)

What You Do:

-Make rainbow-ish lines of glue
-Stick the fruitloops on
-Let it dry while snacking on some unused fruitloops
-Done!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! (ish)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We'll be wearing green today, how about you?

We'll be starting our day with a green breakfast... or Lucky Charms, depending on how the morning goes ;)

How the morning went:
Talia threw up before I finished getting Katrina dressed, and didn't want any breakfast.

We've also got playgroup today.

Yesterday we made cards with 4 leaf clovers on them, made from green paper hearts. We already gave them out though, & I didn't take pictures :/
All you need are:
- 4 green paper hearts
- some glue
- a green pencil crayon/crayon/marker for the stem

Easy craft!

Good thing we did something St.Patrick's Day-ish yesterday. I think most of the day will be spent relaxing & watching movies... I don't think I'll be trying any green food on her just yet... we're focussing on fluids and maybe something simple later on!

Green Breakfast

This photo is from another year, but I found it recently in our family photos on the computer & thought it was a fun idea that I could share on this blog. Have fun making March special with green food colouring! :)
