Seems there are always lots of questions regarding meal ideas for our little kiddos. Here is my menu for today, anyone else want to play along????

Breakfast; Pancakes and Mixed Berry Sauce wth Milk
Lunch; Mini Chicken Patty on a Bun, Apple Sauce, Green Beans, Milk
Snack; Apples, Yogurt for Dipping, Water

I serve whole milk to kiddo's under 1, but switch to 1% after that. How about you all?

Whoops! I meant whole milk for 1 years to 2 and 1% over 2. I can just picture myself filling the infants bottles with the milk jug!!! Wouldn't that be easier!!!!

How do you make these? I have crescent rolls in the fridge I need to use and I'm tired of turkey dogs in blankets. I'm assuming you just roll up cheese & fillings and bake like normal?

Blackcat, did you mean whole milk? I'm in MN too, and I believe that we are required to serve whole milk until age 2.

MGL's mom - Sorry I took so long to respond. I fill them with pizza or mozz. cheese (my DC kids are picky) but for my own kids we add pepperoni or veggies too with the cheese and roll them up and bake them the same as the package says. Then I give them sauce to dip them.

Has anyone involved the kids in "bagel pizza making"? It's very good! Use half a bagel, but I can eat 4 halves since they're sooo good. Put some Prego traditional sauce on it (the flat side) and sprinkle cheese and any other toppings you want on it. You can put it in the microwave for 30 seconds to a minute for each bagel, 2 pieces, or put it in the oven.....which I don't have patience for, but it's good!

Oh yeah, you may want to cut the bagel half into four so it's less for them to handle. You need to eat it within 5 minutes or so or else it cools off to quickly.
