Ok, evidentally, I didn't learn my lesson *updated with pics on page 2*

We went to Walmart and saw the Blast O'Blue Mrs. Butterworth's pancake syrup. Suddenly, my dd wants some pancakes. I told her I'd make them in the morning for her. With the blue syrup. Please, please, please let me remember to NOT color the pancake mix too.

 

[p-nut]

Oh no not colored food again??

First time my granddaughter told me about "green" catsup I thought she was pulling my leg...

Well - the other day I found Sponge Bob macaroni and cheese - and when you make the cheese it's BLUE - so - I'm going to put it in her Christmas stocking..

I don't know about you, but I like MY foods to be the normal colors.. LOL

 

[browneyes]

I also had to buy my ds some Kellogg's Disney Mud & Bugs cereal.

My kids really eat weird foods.

 

[Ricola]

They should try tofu.

 

[p-nut]

Don't tell my DD about the spongebob macaroni. She will definitely want it.

 

[browneyes]

P-nut, my kids saw the SpongeBob mac-n cheese, but they weren't able to talk me into buying it. I wasn't so lucky about the Scooby Doo mac-n-cheese though. It was very good.

Ricola, I can't poison my kids that way.

Ooooooo.. What's that? Sounds like something else my granddaughter might get a kick out of..

 

[browneyes]

C.Ann, it's got Simba, Timon and Pumba on the box. It's cocoa puffs with bug-shaped marshmallows. They had free samples and my ds encouraged me to buy him a box. My dd had to have her Honey B's, so they are both happy.

I saw the title of your post and the first thing that came to my mind is "what is she cooking and what color is it!"

 

[browneyes]

LOL, Gail. You never know with me. I might try your Mickey technique out. Just to see if my dd notices the shape.

 

[paras4ri]

Let me know how you make out!

 

[browneyes]

I will, Gail. I'm kinda in the mood for some Mickey pancakes myself (sans the blue syrup though ).

Someday I hope to run out of colored food dye.

You lead a colorful life Shannon!

The mud and bugs cereal is pretty good once you get past the name. It would be a good snack to eat while watching survivor thou.

 

[Serena]

Where will it end Shannon, I'm getting worried about you.

 

[browneyes]

Beccy, I wonder if the Mud and Bugs cereal is good with a Cherry Sprite chaser?

I'm this close to a diabetic coma just thinking about such a thing.

 

[Serena]

Oh yuck!! I can't handle that much sugar at once. lol

 

[browneyes]

Jeannie, luckily I don't like cereal. But sometimes they put a wee bit much sweet stuff in my Cherry Sprites that by the time I get home, I need a nap to sleep off all the sugar.

Neither can I Laurie. But my ds is willing to give it a try.

Thanks for the tip about mud and bugs cereal browneyes. I just bought a couple of the grandkids winter Lucky Charms. They have wreaths, candy canes, Christmas trees etc (from marshmallows). They seemed excited to try it.
