Here is one of our favorite snacks! And it's fun for the kids to help make. First we hard-boil 12 eggs. It takes about 12 minutes on the stove.
Then the kids get to peel the eggs in the sink. How fun...
Little hands at work...
Eggs are easy to cut with just a table knife. The kids love cutting them in half and digging out the yellow yolk...
Then we add 1/2 cup mayonnaise, about 1/4 to 1/2 cup bacon bits, 2 tablespoons finely shredded cheddar cheese, 1 tablespoon mustard, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper (optional). Have the kids mash and mix the ingredients together...
Then place mixture in a ziplock bag, seal the top, cut a corner off and squeeze out the air. Now they can squeeze the yellow yolk mixture into the center of the egg whites...
I didn't say anything about it not being a little messy... ;)
Then I sprinkle a little paprika on the top for extra color and garnish with greens. Isn't it a pretty snack?...
Just in time for aftenoon snack when Big Sister gets home from school. Then we put the rest in the fridge for a snack tomorrow and the next day...
Try is today. It's not only good and fun, but it'll give you and them the protein and energy you need to get through the rest of your day!
