My goal this year is to try something new- a new recipe and a new activity with my toddler- every week in 2012.

Week 11 Recipe: Garlic brown sugar chicken

Recipe is HERE

This was really tasty. And easy! You can't beat 4 ingredients- chicken, olive oil, garlic and brown sugar. That's it! We had it with brown rice and broccoli. This one will be repeated for sure.

Week 11 Activity: Fruit Loop Rainbow

As much as I wish I could say that this is our finished product- it is SO NOT! This activity did not work with Reese at all. All she wanted to do was eat the Fruit Loops :) She is so cute.
I think she is just too little still. Or maybe too hungry :) We will try some more gluing activities maybe at a time that she won't want to eat any of the ingredients. Well, Happy St. Patrick's Day anyways!

Week 10 Activity: throwing a ball

Ok I know- that sounds lame right? Well first of all, I did not do a new activity with Reese this week because she stayed with my parents while we were on vacation. Second, there is a cute video to go with this so I'm going to use it.

Reese was playing with my dad with a tennis ball and was having a hard time throwing it without her fingers getting in the way. So, smart girl  that she is, she started putting the ball on half on a plastic Easter egg. That way she could throw it easier. New game!


Week 10 Recipe: Shape pancakes

Got the idea HERE
We made these Saturday morning for Reese as a surprise. I used hot pink food coloring instead of red and she loved it. Spence went in to get her out of bed and brought her into the kitchen. Her first word was 'pancake' and then she shouted 'PINK!'

We will be doing purple and green ones with stars for her Buzz Lightyear birthday party this week. (yes, my 2 year old girl is having a Buzz Lightyear party.)

The food coloring did not make them taste weird at all, in case you are wondering.
