According to the UK's Daily Mail, celebrity chefs have scared everyday Moms out of the kitchen. Yah. Rachael Ray is what is keeping me out of the kitchen. It has absolutely nothing to do with the unmitigated joy of working all day and then feeding your family at a civilized restaurant (replete with kids' menu and happy hour) and returning home to an un-dirty-dished home. Nope. Not a thing.
Meanwhile, here is the kind of snack that my kids devour and an anti-kitchen-y Mommy like me can prepare in a flash!
Ants on a Hill
- Cut and wash several stalks of celery
- Slather each stick with peanut butter
- Line up about 4- 5 raisins on each stalk
If your kids are anything like mine, the name of the food is more important than the presentation or nutritional value or taste. It's all in the marketing, baby!
