Banana, Peanut Butter & Jelly Kabobs

By: dmvollmer

What’s more classic than PB&J?? I like to take things the extra step, making them more fun but nothing too complicated. I love to use cookie cutters – I have a huge collections in all sizes and shapes. Food on a stick – always fun. My viral Baseball Fruit Kabobs are a perfect example of that. After a long holiday break, today is back to school so lunches are on my mind.

Banana, Peanut Butter and Jelly Kabobs. Super fun, delicious lunch. My son LOVES these.

For this recipes I used my son’s favorite Jif Natural Spread Creamy Peanut Butter and Smucker’s Squeeze Grape Jelly. Spread the peanut butter and jelly on your bread just like a normal PB&J.

Then using a small round cookie cutter cut as many rounds as you can. I like to pick a size that is about the same diameter as a banana.

If you don’t have round cutters, just use a knife and cut the sandwich into squares or small triangles – any shape is fun. Don’t let the scrapes go to waste – we usually nibble on them while making lunch. For two skewers I cut out 8 mini sandwiches out of four pieces of bread.

I use skewers a lot of food – appetizers, snacks and lunches. I have a few different sizes. For the Banana, Peanut Butter & Jelly Kabobs I used long skewers. Slice the banana into 6 pieces, 3 for each skewer. Alternatively thread bananas and mini sandwiches onto each skewer. Adapt the recipe to the size skewer you are using. If packing for lunch, make sure it fits in your lunch container.

 

I LOVE Target. And that may be an understatement. They have everything I need, want and more. Awesome prices on groceries and so many of the brands I love. Love the home decor section and lots of great deals on clothing for my family.

They already have great prices on groceries but have you discovered Cartwheel? Its an app for your phone that helps you to save even more money. You can search the offers and add them to your list and then when you check out, your barcode is scanned to get the savings. You can also scan any tag while shopping to see if there is an offer you may have missed. I’ve found some great offers for groceries, pet food and clothing.

Right now there’s an awesome Cartwheel discount for Jif Peanut Butter Spreads and Smucker’s Fruit Spreads. So stock up now (through January 21st) and save 5%.

Hi there and welcome to Sweet Shoppe Mom. My name is Dana and my son is Brendan, also known as B. Welcome to our blog where we chat about every day life with tweens and teens.

more about us

Did I commit a crime? With B at home for #virtual Did I commit a crime?

With B at home for #virtuallearning and me #workingfromhome we’ve been making an effort to find ways to get out of the house while being safe with regards to the pandemic and supporting local businesses. The past few years local businesses have popped up that we haven’t yet tried so I made a list. B has been wanting to try @urbanbobateahouse at @shopsatnorterra so we took an after school break for some #bobatea 

Now here’s question for you. I removed the boba tea cover from my drink and B was horrified 🤣 I don’t think it was a big deal. BUT apparently in the eyes of teens I committed a crime (he even backed up his claim by snapchatting his friends for confirmation). Let me know in the comments whose side you’re on

💛💚💜 Happy Mardi Gras!! 💜💚💛 Did y 💛💚💜 Happy Mardi Gras!! 💜💚💛 Did you have your paczkis and King cake today? 

Usually we head to Southern Rail, a local restaurant for their Mardi Gras celebration (we go for an early dinner before it turns into too much of a party scene). Jambalaya, beignets, fried okra, Sazerac (for me), and of course King Cake. This year we’re making Jambalaya at home.

Yes, it’s Feb 15th and Valentine’s Day was yesterday. When you #coparent, sometimes your kids aren’t with you for a holiday. We just pick our own day to celebrate. Bonus for B, he gets to celebrate holidays twice.

Happy Valentine’s Day 💕 Double Chocolate Hea Happy Valentine’s Day 💕

Double Chocolate Heart-shaped Pazookie 😋 as requested by B. Slowing down because of the pandemic, has given me the chance to cook more. I’ve been baking lately...after owning a cake shop for 8 years (and then closing it) I was burned out on baking but now a few years later I’m starting to enjoy it again. B is a big sweets fan, so that makes it fun too.

Death by Chocolate 😋 We took an after school br Death by Chocolate 😋 We took an after school break and went to check out a new sweet shop. We really needed a break and to get out for a bit. @sodajerkmilkshakebar opened in @highstreetaz near the end of 2020 and its been our list. Cute little shop with over the top shakes and floats. B went for the Death by Chocolate and it was 👍👍. Lots of outdoor tables set up for a safer dining experience.

Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day? 💘 This Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day? 💘

This was my mantel a few years ago. I like to add a few festive touches to the house for Valentine’s Day, St Patrick’s Day, Easter and July 4th. Passing this year because I’m in the middle of a massive decluttering and some redecorating of my kitchen and family room. I had the stucco mantel pop-out removed but haven’t yet had a wood one yet.  It’s a slower process than I’d like but balancing work, parenting, home, pandemic, we do what we can do. We will be celebrating Valentine’s day with a few of our traditions including making a heart shaped pizza and heart attacking my door.

He’s 15 and now taller than me. I took somewhat He’s 15 and now taller than me. I took somewhat of a social media break over the holidays during all the political events but now that its February, I’m back to posting regularly. During my break, this kid turned 15. Amazing and proud to watch become a teenager. 

I let B plan his day and like most teenagers it revolved around food. Our birthday breakfast tradition of pancakes in the shape of his age. For dinner he wanted our homemade pizza. I let him choose his cake (I did used to own a cake shop, so choices are endless) but he chose a Chocolate Chip Skillet Cake - it was quite yummy and so much easier than a decorated cake so the decision was fine with me. 

This kid is chicken obsessed 🐓 Especially fried chicken, chicken nuggets and chicken wings. The foodie in him is always searching for the best so as part of his celebration we made a list of all the fast food fried chicken places in town that he will taste to determine the best. Because you can only eat so much food in one day, he tackled 2 places the first day and we covered the rest over the next few weeks...video and his picks coming soon. Now he wants to do chicken strips - maybe for next year’s birthday as I need a fast food break.
