Olympic Snacks

As we have been watching and learning

all about the Sochi Winter Olympic,

food has become an

excellent resource to add

to our fun!

Here are some of the snacks/meals

we have enjoyed in honor of the Olympics:

Ring-a-Ding-Ding Drinks

I saw this idea over on

Savannah Smiled.

We placed Gummy Lifesavers at the bottom

of clear cups

(to symbolize the Olympic Rings)

and poured Sprite

on top of them.

To eat with the drinks we had...

USA! USA! USA! Chips and Salsa

All that is needed for this snack is some

yellow or white tortilla chips,

blue tortilla chips,

and serve it with a side of salsa.

These snacks were espscially popular with my crew,

ESPECIALLY the Gummy Lifesavers-

they went CRAZY over them!

Olympic Pizza

Gotta have a themed pizza night for the Olympics!

I made a pepperoni and mushroom pizza

for Super Dad and I...

...and cheese pizza for the kiddos.

***

Olympic Torch Snacks

I fixed these one afternoon for the kiddos

and their friends.

SO super easy and fun!

I found this idea via Pinterest at

Living Well Spending Less.

Olympic Lunch Trays

For lunch one afternoon

I served a lunch fit for an Olympian.

The meal included:

Winter Themed Chicken Nuggets

Olympic Apple Rings and Carrots with Ski Poles

Gold Medals for dessert

(made from Golden Oreos and Fruit by the Foot)

I found the idea for the medals via Pinterest at

Living Well Spending Less.

(Ah- the calm before the storm...)

The kiddos ended up playing with their food a bit

while they ate,

which I didn't mind,

since it was all in the spirit of the Olympics.

They made skiers...

...and Ice Dancers...

...and even a snowman running the Skeleton!
