The Little Chef Project: Simple Breakfast Ice Cream Waffles

By

As I mentioned in my cook-along post, I recently contributed to Chef Boyardee’s Little Chef Cook Book.

The Little Chef’s Cook Book includes a bunch of tips and simple recipe ideas from over a dozen Moms.

Because in our house, school day mornings can be hectic, usually leaving us just enough time to for the quickest breakfasts possible, we relish in our lazy weekend mornings where we get to be a little more creative and fun with our food.

When I was asked to contribute to the Little Chef’s Cook Book, I couldn’t help but share one of our favorite breakfasts we make with the kids.

The “Make-Your-Own- Ice cream Waffles”

This one always scores me major mommy points because, honestly how much cooler can a Mama get than whipping up a breakfast that looks like ice cream?

It is so simple enough for my 4 year old to join in the fun and create her own, and I get to sneak in some fruit too (Mom win!)

You can switch it up too!

Where I used bananas to look like “scoops” of vanilla ice cream you can also cut up strawberries, kiwi, or other fruit to offer additional flavors to your morning!

To see more simple ideas for cooking in the kitchen with kids, check out The Little Chef Project e-book (it’s free!)

…and psst! and my tips are included on page 27!

 

Easy As ABC Chicken Soup Recipe

By

Flu shots. I hate them.

This year was the first year I’ve ever taken the kids for one- and only because the little miss’ Preschool required it- and now? She’s sick. This afternoon was filled with a 101 fever, yucky eye-goo, and just a whole lot of whining. Fun times, thanks Doc.

When dinner time rolled around she said to me:

“Mommy, you fix me. You give me Sponge Bob….” (Our thermometer)

“You give me candy…” (The Pedisure for her fever)

And now you give me chicken soup.”

{{crickets}}

“Umm, we don’t have chicken soup sweetie, and quite frankly Mommy has this strange fear of cooking soup from scratch” – is what I wanted to say.

But she’s a picky eater to begin with so the fact that she was asking for food other than Toast or Mac & Cheese while she was sick was a miracle. I knew I had to deliver.

So quickly I Google’d “QUICK AND EASY CHICKEN SOUP RECIPE“. I came across one that was easy enough and then made it my own by spicing it up a little. My first time ever making chicken soup… and it was delish! Both kids ate it and loved it. So I’m sharing… because trust me, if I could whip it up– it truly is the simplest chicken soup recipe ever.

From Pot To Table Time: 30 minutes.

Ingredients:

Pasta of choice (some use noodles, we used pastina sized ABC pasta for the entertainment factor)

  • 1/2 lb of Boneless Chicken
  • 4 bouillon cubes
  • 3 cups of water
  • 1/2 onion thinly sliced
  • 1/2 celery stalk thinly sliced
  • 1/2 carrot
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • Salt and Pepper

Directions:

1. Add all ingredients into large pot. Let it cook for 20 minutes.

2. Remove the chicken and with 2 forks shred the chicken.

3. Boil pasta and add shredded chicken. Cook for another 10 minutes.

Viola! Mom Win!
