“I grew up on a turkey farm, so our collective favorite holiday is the Saturday before Thanksgiving. Our local friends, extended family, and even distant relatives all pitch in to get the birds ready for pickup for thanksgiving. It's an all day event, and everyone's tired at the end, but it holds some of the fondest memories.”

That sounds so special! I can just imagine how much love (and laughter!) goes into that big day—what a unique tradition! - Danielle 😊

Banana Sushi 🍌🍣

weelicious

Remember when sushi nights were all about raw fish and romantic dates?

Say hello to kid-approved Banana Sushi!

It's the go-to snack that's as fun to make as it is to munch.

Like an art project you can eat! 🎨

Why You'll Love It

  • 🍯 Easy and Quick: Only takes 5 minutes to make.

  • 🍫 Customizable Fun: Kids can choose their own spreads and toppings.

  • 🍌 Healthy and Yummy: Combines fruit with protein-rich options.

📝 Ingredients

  • Bananas

  • Almond butter or whipped cream cheese

  • Toppings: crushed cereal, shredded coconut, chia seeds, chopped chocolate, cinnamon sugar

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Slice and Dice: Cut those bananas into 1 1/2-2 inch pieces. Don't stress; perfection is not the aim here.

  2. Spread 'Em: Roll the banana pieces in almond butter or whipped cream cheese. Feeling rebellious? Do both! 😎

  3. Roll In The Goodies: Now here’s where the real fun starts. Roll your buttered or cheesed-up bananas in crushed cereal, rice crispies, chia seeds, shredded coconut, chopped chocolate, or cinnamon sugar.

  4. Mix and Match: Get the kiddos involved and let them choose their own coatings. Just imagine their eyes popping when they see all these choices!

  5. Serve Immediately: These beauties are best enjoyed right away. If you must, a quick chill in the fridge can work too, but why wait?

📌 Note

  • Feel free to add or subtract toppings based on what your little artists prefer. It's your kitchen; make your own rules!

There you have it, a snack-time hit that’s as close to Pinterest-worthy as most of us will ever get.

Banana Sushi – because turning everyday snacks into mini art projects is how we roll in this mom club. 🎉
