Tips for a memorable yellow food day

Make the most of your yellow food day with these quick tips.

• Yellow food can stain, though not as bad as other colors. Make sure your kids are wearing play clothes.
• Some of these foods are common food allergies, make sure that you are safe when choosing snacks for a large group.
• Some kids don’t enjoy trying new foods. Make sure to offer both common and new foods to help with their anxiety.
• Share this post with your students and let them each bring their favorite yellow item!

Yellow Foods List

1. Pineapple Rings.

Grab a can of pineapple rings. Blot off the extra juice and dust with some cinnamon sugar. Serve them whole or in smaller slices

2. Yellow Veggies and Ranch

I used yellow carrots, tomatoes, and peppers. Tip for picking out bell peppers: female peppers are sweeter. Look for 4 bumps on the bottom. These are better for eating raw.

3. Cornbread and Honey

Head to the bakery and find a loaf or giant muffins to cut up for the kiddos.

4. Lemon Jell-O Jigglers

These fun little treats are sure to be a favorite. Just mix one standard box of Jello into 1 cup boiling water. Pour into a small glass container and chill for at least 4 hours. To keep the portions small use a small cookie cutter, or raid the playdoh toys for small shapes! You use a lot less water to make them jigglers so keep that in mind when picking how much to make.

5. Tortilla chips with melted cheese

Yellow corn chips topped with some delicious melted cheddar or American cheese.

6. Bananas

Just cut up a banana for a quick yellow snack.

7. Banana pudding

Whip up a batch of banana pudding. Yum!

8. Lemons

This tart snack will test your preschooler’s tastebuds. Don’t forget to grab a picture of the pucker.

9. Lemonade

Wash down the yellow snacks with some lemonade.

10. Sweet Corn

Cut it off the cob, or let the kids nibble it as is!

11. Hard-Boiled Eggs

The yellow yolk may not be their favorite part of the hard-boiled egg. But at least it’s teaching them about the color!

12. Lemon Bars

Find a delicious lemon bar recipe or pick some up from your local bakery.

13. Yellow Raisins

These golden yellow raisins are a fun preschool snack.

14. Dried Pineapple

Sweet and delicious. These dried pineapples make a great yellow snack.

15. Banana Chips

Kids love these crunchy banana chips!

More yellow day activities you may enjoy.

Cheesecake Bites Recipe

My little one has been obsessed with watching kids cooking shows! Her most recent favorite, Kids Baking Championship.

But, there are two big problems. 1. She isn’t a chef and 2. We don’t have the pantry that they have on the show.

Last 4th of July we created a simple cheesecake dip and we had similar ingredients around. So today we created these amazing little bite-sized desserts.

The simplicity of this recipe is what makes it perfect for kids to make or a last-minute dessert. Unlike traditional cheesecake recipes, It doesn’t require sour cream, melted butter, or even to be baked in a mini muffin pan. (I despise having to clean those!)

These cheesecake bites are the perfect amount of sweetness and easy enough that even a toddler could create them!

While a standard cheesecake bite recipe involves melting and baking and several ingredients, these are so simple that a toddler can make them!

Tips For Making Strawberry Cheesecake Bites:

Making these quick treats is so simple. They are perfect for kids to make. (side note they can totally be created by adults too! Why should the kiddos have all the fun?)

There is only one thing you might need to do for your kiddo and that is slice up the strawberries. It really depends on their age and ability in the kitchen.

The amount of bites you make is up to you. Just keep the ratio below and you can create a double batch or a whole platter of simple cheesecake bites.

If you don’t have whipped cream cheese, you can use room-temperature cream cheese and whip it well with a hand mixer before adding the brown sugar to it.

Little hands can use a spoon to spread the cheesecake mixture.

Adults can use a butter knife or even a piping bag.

Kids will love arranging the fruit on top. This recipe uses fresh strawberries. But it’s super easy to swap them out for your child’s favorite toppings. Try these fun alternatives!

• chocolate coating or chocolate chips
• powdered sugar
• raspberries
• cherry pie filling

These no bake cheesecake bites are so delicious and quite a bit better for you than a slice of a traditional cheesecake. When your little one can make a treat that tastes and looks this good they will be so excited to hand them out.

You can serve them in a variety of settings:

• After school snack
• Classroom party
• Holiday party
• Watch party
• 4th of July or Canada Day

Yield: 7 Bites

Cheesecake Dip

The time of impromptu BBQs and get-togethers is upon us. On any random day, we run into friends at the pool or park and last-minute dinner plans are made.

I always like to put out some sort of treat for the end of the meal, but I don’t always want to run out to the store last minute.

Now I keep this quick cheesecake spread in my back pocket for any time we have unexpected guests arrive. It has to be the easiest dessert and it’s great any time of year.

Nothing says summer like fresh plump strawberries. Or, tweak it at Christmas gingerbread cheesecake dip. There are lots of different ways to turn this sweet dip into a crowd-pleaser.

I have to say one of my favorite parts of summer is when we randomly throw together a quick potluck meal. Someone has the meat that they are throwing on the grill, someone else says they have watermelon or some corn on the cob to cook up. You gather around and just enjoy the day with friends. It doesn’t get much better than that!

This simple dip is perfect on a hot day! It is fast, only takes 2 ingredients, and doesn’t involve the oven.

For a fancier twist, you can use this recipe to create our quick cheesecake bites!

This cheesecake recipe doesn’t involve sour cream, which makes it easier for our house. And since it’s a no-bake cheesecake dessert, it can be made in minutes.

Tips For Making This Easy Cheesecake Fruit Dip:

If you have time, bring the cream cheese to room temperature first. This will help get it whipped up quickly.

Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container.

Make it a little different by adding a bit of cherry pie filling, pumpkin spice, or maybe some almond extract. You could even turn it into a chocolate fruit dip!

Both kids and adults love this simple dessert dip. So grab cute graham crackers and simple fruits for your classroom snack.

Color coordinate your fruit to match your holiday. Like red strawberries and blueberries for the 4th of July.

This is a great recipe for kids to try and make on their own. With just 2 ingredients and super simple instructions, they may not need your help at all!
