Pillow Sandwich

A great, any time snack

ADDED May 20, 2009

On rare occasions, the kids are ready for bed before their bedtime.  When this miracle occurs, I like to do a little cooking . . . and children are the perfect ingredient for my yummy dishes.

First, I’ll make a Pillow Sandwich. This delightful dish requires only two pillows and one kid.  Simply put the kid in the middle of the pillows and gently squeeze the sandwich together.  Ta da!  You have a deliciously fun snack with zero calories. 

Next up, I find myself craving a Bedtime Burrito.  This specialty has just a few ingredients:  one blanket and one child. Assembly is simple: first spread out the blanket and gently place the child on one of the ends, then carefully roll your little one up in the blanket, taking special care to make sure that a head is sticking out of the blanket at all times. Presto!  You have a low-fat snack that is quite fun to eat.

Finally, we'd like to suggest a tasty Pillow Cream Cone.  Simply have your young one stand up straight while cradling a pillow.  Next, have your kid hold the pillow up as high as they can.  (This posture gives you the perfect opportunity to tickle.  So why not do it?)

And here's a word to the wise:  please do not cook these (delicious) silly recipes after Mom has made the bed.  She doesn't look too kindly on energetic chefs ruining a neat and tidy room! 

Please send any similar recipes to info@todayisfun.com or leave everyone a message in the comments. We really want to know what you are "cooking up!"
