Fourth of July Fruit Flag and Sparklers

I am happy to announce that for my birthday my wonderful husband bought me a new camera.  Unfortunately, it was after I took these awful pics on my phone.  So bare with me :)  I am not known for my healthy snacks.  I am in if for cuteness and that usually involves sugar and or cream cheese...  So, I decided to expand my portfolio and attempt something cute and good for you.  A novel concept I know.  So I recreated the strawberry and blueberry American Flag I had pinned a few years ago and it was delicious and easy.  But I had to put my own not good for you spin on it and added rice crispie treat stars :)  With the left overs I made cute rice crispie treat sparklers.  Everything is better on a stick!

 It's so blurry it's hard to tell, but my sister Lauren is thoroughly enjoying playing with her food.

Bolt Dinner Movie Night

Not gonna lie.  My creative juices were not flowing on this one.  Jason LOVES this movie and begged me to do it for Family Movie Night but I just was stumped.  I had already done my hot dog "dog" for 101 Dalmatians.  I was super tired (imagine that) this week and my brain had a thick coating of mommy fog so this one is kinda pathetic.  In the movie the animals follow a Waffle House map to get back home.  So, we had waffles and breakfast food for dinner.  I felt disappointed with my efforts but my kids were ecstatic to eat breakfast for dinner.  That's all that matters, right?

Hotel Transylvania Dinner Movie Night

This movie is completely under appreciated.  I laughed uncontrollably at several points in the movie and think it is adorable. My girls are strange and are OBSESSED with Halloween.  So, I wasn't too concerned with a couple scary parts because for some reason they are terrified of their own shadow but mummies and vampires evoke no emotion...  There are a plethora of kiddo Halloween foodie options so I just picked a few that I already had stuff on hand.

The ghosts are bananas with chocolate chip faces.  I peeled oranges to make "pumpkins" with a gummy candy stem.  The guacamole and chips were monster toenails and fungus (mmmm... yum... I love fungus).  The hot dog mummies are made out of hot dog wrapped in crescent rolls with mustard eyes.   Lastly, cheeseburger jack-o-lanterns.  My kids are picky and don't like their cheese melted.  Otherwise I would have melted these pumpkin faces a little over the hamburger.  This was one of my favorite themed nights yet!

101 Dalmatians Dinner Movie Night

This weeks viewing was 101 Dalmatians.  I had pinned this cute hot dog "dog" a while ago and couldn't wait to find an excuse to try it out.  I'm not going to reinvent the wheel here.  She has a great video tutorial on how to make them.  Work smart not hard... The peas I have no idea how they tie in I just couldn't come up with a creative veggie to go.  The mash potatoes are the snow and the Oreos are black and white Cruella Deville cookies.

Any thoughts on themed veggies?
