Kitchen Fun and Crafty Friday link party #66

This has been a crazy couple of weeks for us. My dad passed away a couple of days ago from a sudden illness so this is why we have not been posting a lot on our blog the last couple of weeks. We are still a bit in shock. I lost the greatest dad ever and we will miss him so much!

We did want to at least put up our Kitchen Fun & Crafty Friday link party. We always love to see all of the creations you have made!

One more thing before we get started. We entered a contest between 3 other bloggers for Heluva Good! to create a recipe using 5 or less ingredients using any of the Heluva Good! dips. We made a Caterpillar Snack Wrap! We would really appreciate your vote and have a chance to win $500 dollars! All you have to do is "like" the Heluva Good! Facebook page and then click vote on our recipe! Here is the link and our fun recipe....

Caterpillar Snack Wrap made with Heluva Good! dip

We were asked by Heluva Good! to come up with a recipe using 5 ingredients or less using one of their dips as part of their blogger contest. We also wanted to make something look fun for kids (of coarse!) so we came up with this fun Caterpillar Snack Wrap! This was a huge hit with my boys and it's so simple to make! This is also a great way to get your kids to eat spinach tortillas!

We would love for you to vote for us on the Heluva Good! Facebook page!!! The voting starts today and you must "like" the Heluva Good! Facebook page to see the entries & click vote!

Heluva Good! provided us with their dips and we loved them all, but decided to go with the Black Bean Queso Dip. This was our favorite! We now also eat this in place of regular sour cream for burritos, etc... This worked perfectly in our Caterpillar Snack Wrap and it tasted delicious!! The best thing about this fun lunch is that you can use any of the Heluva Good! dips including Ranch, French Onion, White Cheddar & Bacon, Jalapeno Cheddar, Bacon Ranch, Buffalo Wing, Bacon Horseradish, & Bodacious Onion!

Heluva Dip! Caterpillar Snack Wrap

1 Spinach Tortilla

1 1/2 cups Chopped Rotisserie Chicken

3 tablespoons Black Bean Queso Heluva Good! sour cream dip

1 Tomato (haved)

Lettuce

Start out by mixing the chopped chicken, Heluva Good! black bean queso dip, 1/4 cup chopped tomato, & about 1/2 of a cup of chopped lettuce. Spread the mixture on a spinach tortilla. Roll it up and cut off the ends using a knife. Then cut the roll into slices. Place a large lettuce leaf on a plate. Line up the slices on a plate. You should have about 8 pieces. Take the cut off end pieces and cut out a circle using kitchen scissors. Place it on one of the end slices.

Cut the remaining tomato into strips. Then cut the strips into little legs. Place them on the bottom of the slices. We also made a mouth using a piece of tomato. We cut out antennas using the cut off end spinach tortilla scraps and press them in the top of the head. We made the eyes from small pieces of chicken.

Here is my very happy 6 year old with this Heluva Good! Caterpillar Snack Wrap!

Heluva Good! asked us to be a part of their contest and provided us with our dips. The opinions are 100% our own!:)

The New Eggo Drizzlers Review!

I am sure most of you know that we are huge fans of Eggo waffles! My boys love them and we also love to make fun food using Eggo products. We tried out the new Eggo Drizzlers and these were a huge hit with my boys and I love them as well! The Strawberry & Blueberry Eggo Drizzlers are made with real fruit & taste so much better than syrup! They have 40% less sugar than traditional syrup! It's awesome that something with less sugar actually tastes way better than syrup!! They also come in other flavors.

You can just drizzle the flavor packets on the waffle or let the kids make a fun picture, shape, name, etc...We tried out the Stawberry & Chocolate Eggo Drizzlers.

They were both fantastic, but my favorite was the strawberry. I bet the strawberry would also make a great PB&J Waffle sandwich for lunch! We made a simple heart using the strawberry packet....

My boys loved the chocolate the most and we made a bear with the chocolate packet and some slices of banana....

We love how easy it is to create fun pictures with the packets and they are also such a nice change from syrup. The Eggo Drizzlers come in boxes with 6 waffles & 3 topping packets. You just toast the waffles like you would any other Eggo waffle & press on the packets with your fingers to warm it up a bit. That is what we did. You can also put the packet in a cup of warm water. Then you pull off the top of the packet and squeeze it onto the waffle.

The kids will have so much fun drizzling their flavors on the waffles! We can't wait to try the Blueberry Eggo Drizzlers! These will definitely be a new favorite in our house for breakfast!:)

Visit www.facebook.com/Eggo or www.leggomyeggo.com for more information on the new Eggo Drizzlers Waffles and all of the other Eggo products and recipes!

Dinodilla Dinner

We made another fun Dinodilla Mexican Dinner and this is such a fun & easy dinner to make the kids...especially little boys!

Dinodilla Dinner

2 Spinach Tortillas

Black Beans

Brown Rice

Shredded Cheese

Sour Cream

Start out by cutting out the head shape from the spinach tortilla using kitchen scissors. Use the head piece as a guide to cut out the other tortilla. We added black beans, brown rice, & shredded cheese in between the 2 tortilla cut outs. We microwaved it for 1 minute. We cut out the spikes with the scraps. We made eyes & teeth using sour cream. We used extra black beans for the eye & nose.

We also made this Dinodilla Dinner awhile back....
