We always have a silly dinner for April Fool's Day. Benjamin insists on helping me make it. He especially liked making "Jello" for dinner--but in this case, it's just Kool-Aid in a bowl. He also set the table, using a variety of holiday paper plates. The main dish was shepherd's pie topped with pink mashed potatoes (we added beets to the potatoes), so it looked like a berry pie. We also had muffins made to look like ice cream cones. For dessert, we had "cheese" sandwiches made from pound cake that we sliced, toasted, and filled with orange frosting. We got our recipes from
Disney Family Fun. Here are a couple of close-ups:

What a cool family dinner!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's what we do too. I made the cheese sandwiches a few years ago; it totally fooled my kids. I haven't seen the muffins in an ice cream cone thing yet. That's a fun tradition.
