Quick And Easy Yummy Snacks!!

Here are some of my favorite recipes from "Food For Tots" by Dr. Janice Woolley, Pediatrician, and Jennifer Pugmire, mom!! (Illustration by Marilyn Taggart!!)


Orange Banana Milk!
For a quick and yummy breakfast drink, place1 2/3 cups milk, 1/3 cup frozen orange juice concentrate and 1/2 of a medium banana in a blender. Cover and blend until foamy.
SERVE IMMEDIATELY OR THE BANANA WILL MAKE THE DRINK TURN BROWN!!

Breakfast Burritos!
Wrap up breakfast for one, two or a whole crowd!!
Scramble eggs with milk (1 tbsp. of milk for each egg. 1 egg per child; use 2-3 eggs per adult) Be sure to cook eggs thoroughly! Cook chopped ham, sausage links or other meat of your choice. Warm tortillas (whole wheat or flour). Once warmed, you are ready to serve! Put cheese, salsa, tomatoes or other toppings in bowls and serve buffet style! Our family also likes to cook onions and red and green peppers to go in the eggs! It is a great way to get your child to eat their veggies and love it at the same time!!
