More Work For The Kids and Less Work For Me

This summer my motto is going to be, " More work for the kids and less work for me." I love the way that sounds (now let's see if it really happens).
In my pursuit of my new motto, I have started allowing my 5 and 3 year old to make their own lunches. I know it sounds scary but it has been working. They have been making what I call, "The Super Duper Sandwich." Yes, I know it is not the most healthy sandwich but the kids like it and can make it themselves.

Ingredients:
Wheat bread (Healthy)
Peanut Butter (Somewhat healthy)
Marshmallows (not so healthy, but no fat)
Chocolate Chips (not healthy but good)
and when I am making it I add bananas.

They love eating this and they make it with very little mess. It works for me.

I thought I would also share this recipe. My friend Christy made it for our MOPS meeting, and it was so so yummy. This is a great summer recipe.

Vegetable Salad

1 can of Shoe peg corn, drained

1 can of small peas, drained

1 4oz jar of pimento, drained

1 cup chopped celery

1 cup chopped green pepper

1 cup chopped onion

1 cup sugar

1 cup vinegar

1 cup oil

Mix the first 6 items together in a bowl.

Combine the last three items together in a pot, boil to slightly thicken ingredients and then cool before pouring over the salad. Refrigerate overnight.
