Little Hands, Big Bites

Mailin and Leif rolling up some “sushi".

What comes to mind when you think of May? Let me guess, it's only one more month until

school gets out?! With almost half of the year over, it's important to slow down and appreciate

the little things. Like more sunny days and warmer weather or your mom buying you those

popsicles from last summer that you loved. Speaking of moms, this month is the perfect time to show her, or any other special woman in your life, that they mean a lot to you. And what better way to do that than with food? Enjoy this fun treat, we had a blast making it together.

Banana “Sushi”

1 banana, peeled, left whole

Vanilla yogurt or nut butter of your choice

Fun toppings, sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, or cereal

Place your topping of choice on a plate. On a cutting board, lightly spread the yogurt or nut

butter on your banana. Then roll your banana in the topping. Cut the banana into slices and

serve.
