This week’s Mealtime Monday recipe is so easy even your baby could make it. OK, maybe not advised, but your whole family will want to eat it all up. Even your baby will be asking for more because the meat is so tender, served with noodles or rice, it’s perfect for picky new little eaters too!
This recipe can be made with chicken breasts or boneless pork chops and served over any variety of pasta or rice. If you really want to save time and create a well balanced meal, throw in a bag of fresh baby carrots too.

The Mealtime Monday recipe this week isn’t actually for a meal, but we thought with the kids home from school for Thanksgiving, this recipe might just come in handy. This Pumpkin Pie Play-Doh is super easy to make and when finished smells so yummy! Just make sure you tell your kids it’s only to play with and not to eat! Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy!
|
| 5 1/2 cups flour |
1 container (1 1/2 oz.) Pumpkin |
| 2 cups salt |
pie spice |
| 8 teaspoons Cream of Tarter |
4 cups water |
| 3/4 cup oil or slightly less |
1 container yellow and red food |
| |
coloring |
| Combine all the ingrediants in a medium saucepan, stirring at medium heat. The mixture will begin to clump. Keep stirring. |
| Remove from heat when the mixture changes from a batter-with-lumps consistency to something that looks like brown sugar and/or peanut butter. Pour onto floured surface to cool. When cool enough to touch, start kneading. Ours was still sticky in places, but kneading with additional flour evened the texture. Keep kneading for about 10 minutes. Make sure it is entirely cooled before putting in Tupperware containers for storage. |

With the cooler days setting in, we love this recipe because it is super easy. Best yet, the kids will even eat it (albeit with mounds of cheese piled on top) which is great because it’s nutritious too! It’s not spicy when it’s made following this recipe, but if you want to add a little kick, just add salsa and sliced jalapeños on top.
