The first was from Joy The Baker. A new food blog I discovered. You really feel like she's talking to you as she types her thoughts down. It's pretty funny. But what I loved most was this recipe:
Burnt Banana Chocolate Malted Milk. HELLO.
I am excited to try this. I just bought Malted Milk powder last week to make some cookies with it (they didn't turn out so well... I couldn't taste ANY malt and they were flatter than pancakes) but I still have the powder and want to use it. This shake looks amazing. I would probably use greek yogurt if I were to make this for a breakfast drink though. Ha ha... yes, I'm trying to figure out how to make this for breakfast. I'll let you know what I come up with. I think, at first, I'll just try it how she posted though. It looks too good to mess with right now.

The next post I found was from Pink and Green Mama. She guest blogged elsewhere and posted this on Babble.com. If you don't know Pink and Green Mama's blog -- you are missing out on some fun crafts for young kids. P&GMama is a former art elementary school teacher turned SAHM and she has AMAZING things to offer us non-crafty people (and crafty people as well). Highly recommend her blog.
In the meantime she posted this lovely piece: Printmaking for Kids: Kitchen Sponge Cherry Blossoms
She had her kiddos draw trunks of trees (if you can draw a Y you can draw a tree, she says) on some lovely light blue paper. She then took clean kitchen sponges, trimmed them small, used clothespins to hold them and dipped the sponges in paint to make the leaves and grass. It's a really great painting idea. LOVE it.
Let me know what you think. Have any of you tried painting like this with kids before?
I'll let you know what I think of the shake later. We made chocolate banana shakes this morning for breakfast. If you freeze the bananas it makes it nice and thick like ice cream. mmmmmm!
