I had a hard time deciding what to write about this week. I have a ton of ideas floating around in my head, but I couldn’t nail down just ONE – until last night. It was French Toast night at our house and it is always served with fruit. I had the brilliant idea to let my kids prep the oranges!
I found those orange peelers at HEB (our grocery store) for $0.49 each! Great deal, right?! I bought four of them! 😀
Colin’s orange was a little juicier than James’ was, but they both did a great job! They each ate two of those ‘lil Cuties with their French Toast!!
What’d you & your kiddos do in the kitchen this week?!

good job guys!
I haven’t seen those peelers. I’ll have to go see if I can find them. My kids don’t like “tags” on their food so oranges aren’t a big hit…but maybe if they could peel them themselves they’d like them more.
I need to get some of those! I feel like I am always peeling oranges around citrus season. I would love to let them do it themselves – I bet your boys were so proud to do it as well!
Ok, I need those peelers! My oldest always asks me to peel his oranges all. the. time. I peel one and then he peels the rest.
I need those orange peelers! I didn’t know they even made such a thing! My kids are constantly asking me to start there oranges for them to peel them.
If you don’t find them, let me know and I’ll pick some up for you next time I’m there!
I need to do more with my kiddos in the kitchen! I am relatively new to cooking and am still finding my way but if I don’t want them to wait until they are forty like I did, I need to have them join me. Thanks for the reminder!

I love seeing what the boys do “in the kitchen” each week.
I love my peeler like that!!! 🙂 I love my cute nephews in the kitchen too….
Peeling oranges can be such a pain! We have a Tupperware tool that helps peel them. Your peeler probably costs less ;-).
Forget the kids! I need a peeler like that! I can never get my oranges started!
You have some serious KP duty going on there…lol
