Kid Friendly Cream Cheese and Pineapple Sandwiches

Here is a great quick and easy kid friendly recipe that kids like me will just love.  Cream cheese and pineapple on toast sounds a little odd, but when my dad made it for me and my sister, we just ate it all up. 

Making cream cheese and pineapple sandwiches is so easy to do, that me and my sister make this healthy kid friendly recipe all by ourselves.  Dad just had to open a can of crushed pineapples and away we went. 

It was funny when my dad first mentioned we were going to have this for lunch.  My sister made a face and said she didn't want any of it.  But dad convinced her to at least help in preparing this quick and healthy recipe.

Anyway, by the time we were finished my sister came around and tried it, even though it sounded like a bad combination.  She loved it so much she told all the kids in her class how good it is.  In fact, she helped me write the recipe so I could share it with her classmates.

Cream cheese and pineapple sandwiches are an easy kid friendly recipe that even the most picky youngsters will love.  Trust me, if my sister will eat it, so will you!

Here's the recipe:

8 ounces of cream cheese (softened)

Kids' Strawberry Whipped Yogurt Pie


Here is an easy kid friendly recipe that tastes sweet, is good for you and doesn't need to be cooked.  When my mom first told me about this pie it sounded horrible to me( maybe because I really never tried yogurt and it looked gross)  But my mom asked me to help me make it, so I did.  You know what?  I 'm glad I helped because it tastes good.  Mom said not only does it taste good but it's a healthy kid friendly recipe that I can do all by myself. 

I think I know why my mom likes this recipe so much.  There are only 3 ingredients, she doesn't have to bake and she doesn't have too many dishes to wash afterwards.  And better yet, it only takes 10 minutes to make.  Can there be any easier kid friendly recipe?

Well, we start with the ingredients:

1 -  8 ounce container of Cool Whip
18 ounces of strawberry yogurt (you can use any flavor you want. You could even mix them if you dare!)
1 ready made pie crust (graham cracker tastes the best)

Next, it's time to "whip it good".

Add the Cool Whip and yogurt together until it's smooth and thoroughly combined
Pour the Cool Whip/Yogurt into the pie crust
Make the top smooth
Put into the freezer
Wait 20 -30 minutes

Enjoy!

You know what makes this pie even better? Serving it with sliced bananas, peaches or any other fruit.

Oh, by the way, mom loves to eat this pie, too!  So enjoy this kid friendly recipe that adults like too!
