Whoooooo's Hungry?

Okay, I'm really not clever enough to come up with that title, but when I saw it along with the recipe in the October issue of Ben's "Your Big Backyard" magazine I couldn't resist!

Between Nan and Teddy and Auntie Steph and Julianna, we are lucky to get issues of both "Your Big Backyard" and "Wild Animal Baby" throughout the year. As soon as one comes in the mail the boys insist we read it immediately then check out the projects and activities at the back. This month's issue had a section on nocturnal creatures so it was only appropriate that owl sandwiches be included.

Here's what you need to make your own....

*1/2 of an English muffin or bagel (even bread cut into a circle would work)
*Peanut butter, almond butter, cream cheese, or any other spread your kids will eat (my boys chose cream cheese with Grandma's apple butter)
*2 slices of banana
*2 raisins
*7 Cheerios
*Cheddar cheese

Here's what you do.....

*Evenly coat your muffin/bagel with your choice of spread.
*Place the banana slices side by side for the eyes with the raisins in the center for pupils.
*Arrange the Cheerios above the eyes to create the brow ridge.
*Cut a triangle shape out of the cheese and place below the eyes for a beak.
*Eat!

I'm not kidding when I tell you that Ben ate 4 owl faces for dinner two nights ago! They were mini bagels, but still!!!!
