That was yummy...

What do you do with five kids on a three day weekend when it's blizzarding and you freeze your little nose off when you're outside for more than 15 minutes?? Today it's seriously about eight below, even colder with the wind (und in Celsius heisst das -22 Grad, mit Windfaktor sogar -28 Grad). 

We did some shoveling and sledding - it's not too bad as long as you move, lot's of Wii'en and playing games, and they really, really need to pick up Lego's - but you can imagine how slow that progress is :-))

Quite a while ago I came across a recipe for a snack, and we just got done eating the yummy treat. I was thinking of all my bloggin' friends who have lots of kids, too, and not all the time in the world, either, so I thought I'd share this recipe, as it is prepared quickly, is super-simple, inexpensive and feeds lots of kids! Now this is NOT the original recipe (I found that one in the "Family Fun Magazine", but my version of it.

This is what I used:

10 flour tortillas, cut into 16 wedges (if you use a nice big knife, you can cut about 5 tortillas at the same time)

1 stick of butter, melted (could have done with less).

In a large bowl, toss the wedges with the butter. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, and bake at 400 degrees for about 10 - 12 minutes (until edges are starting to brown). I had to bake the wedges in three batches

Dip:

2 apples, grated, and added to sour cream and plain yoghurt (to make as much dip as you need), sweetened with vanilla and sugar.

I could easily have fed 8-10 kids with this amount!! And they LOVED it!

And no, the kids were not really bored, as you can see in this picture below :-)))))) This was taken last Saturday!
