Hello friends!  How was your Thanksgiving?  Ours was great!  And we have wasted no time in getting up our Christmas tree and holiday décor.  I love this time of year!!  I will update the sidebar in the next day or two with lots of our most favorite holiday recipes.  I wanted to start off the season with these adorable little apple Christmas tree snack.  They make the perfect holiday treat for little ones. They are easy to prepare, so fun to make and relatively healthy. With five boys, I have been the class room Mom or at least helped with classroom parties for years! I am always on the look out for fun, cute and easy treats/ crafts for the kids.  These fit the bill! They are perfect for class parties being inexpensive for the whole class and easy to prep. The children love to make them and eat them. You will find these are a big hit!  Children LOVE “decorating” their own little trees.  Even if you aren’t helping with a class party, these would be so fun for an after school snack for your little ones!

What you will need for Apple Christmas Tree Snack:

  • Green apple, sliced thin
  • Fruit loop cereal
  • cheddar cheese slices
  • tootsie rolls

Mini Star cookie cutter for the cheese found here

Tribute to my sweet Mom

I developed my love of cooking at an early age “helping” my Mom bake cookies, make dinner, and knead bread. She had quite the well of patience! She is the one that taught me about measurements, leavening agents, egg-washes, the basic white sauce, and numerous other mysteries of the kitchen!  I cherish the memories I have of learning to cook at her side. Thank you Mom! You instilled in me a respect for work as well as a joy in creating delicious things. I love you! xoxo
