I realize nearly a month has gone by since the first day of school, but I want to share with you our celebratory "back to school" meals that I made for Hudson on the Sunday before his first day of Kindergarten. I'm not going to lie, I tooted my own horn about what I did...I was getting my baby pumped about school.
I got the idea from my friend Molly, we saw it as an April Fool's Day joke, but I thought the kids would enjoy it and why not?
I bought a Sarah Lee Pound Cake and some white frosting. I cut the cake into 3/4" thick slices and I colored the frosting an orangey-yellow color. I then heated a skillet on medium heat, threw the cakes in there for a few seconds just to toast them, spread on the frosting, and boo-yah tricky grilled cheese.
I delivered the kids their meals on a plate with a side of grapes and Pringles. Hudson had to throw a fit because I didn't cut the crust off, while Hadley dove in. As I argued with Hudson about the crust, I watched Hadley's reaction and it was hilarious. She took a nibble, stared at the sandwich, took another nibble, looked at me. Finally, sick of hearing Hudson throw a fit, she turned to Hudson and said, "Huddy twy it, it good!" He finally gave in, tried it, and was pleasantly surprised. I know, I'm cool!
