Unplug your kids...Kitchen

I found this weeks theme to be fun and easy for the unplug your kids. I had bought this new cookbook for the boys the day before she shared the new theme. See it even has Kitchen in the title, perfect right.

So I set about with the boys to make a special lunch with recipes from the book. The cookbook is set up really well. The kids could do everything pretty much everything there own. It is also filled with activities that will keep kids active, plus quizes and facts. The boys wanted to share the recipes with everyone in case you wanted to make them to.

First ....The Sky Is Falling Apples! Wraps

1 small banana

1/3 cup peanut butter

4 (7 to 8 inch) whole wheat or white flour tortillas

1 cup chopped apples

1.) Put the banana and mash. Add the peanut butter and mix.

2.) Spread the peanut butter over the tortilla. Sprinkle with apple. Tighlty roll them up and cut in half. Wrap tighlty in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. (just to help the flavors blend more together)
