FunBites Review

As you know, I am a BIG FAN of the Bento lunch.  I pack one for my boys every day and I am certain that they are eating healthier foods and I'm being more creative in what I pack.  I've got lots of little sandwich cutters, veggie punches, skewers and other fun items to jazz things up a bit. Several weeks ago I was sent a FunBites to review.  We used our FunBites on all sorts of things - toast, cantaloupe, cheese.  We even cut up some tortillas, brushed the little squares with butter, sprinkled with cinnamon & sugar and baked in the oven for a while until they crisped up (YUMMERS!)  It's super simple to use - Zachary (who is 7) had the most fun cutting up anything he could think of.  The sample we used cut the food into 12 little squares.  They also have one that will cut your food into 10 geometric shapes that form a heart (kinda like a puzzle - CUTE).

While my boys are a little big for this (my youngest is 7)....if you've got a toddler - this should definitely be on your shopping list.  They LOVE cute, cut-up food.  And the FunBites tool makes cutting a breeze.  Just place the FunBite on top of the food, rock it back & forth while gently pushing down, then push the little plunger down and OUT pops your food.  It certainly takes the tedium out of cutting food into little pieces, and chances are your toddler can even do it themselves.  And if they cut the food up themselves, I can ASSURE you they will EAT whatever they CUT (it's a pride-thing).

Rest assured, though, I WILL continue to use my FunBites.  Look at the AWESOME Emoticons Cookie recipe that I found on Bake At 350.  My teenager (and his friends) will be ALL OVER these little cookies. .  OR you could make these fun Scrabble Cookies (also from Bake At 350).  Seriously, it's like the FunBite was MADE for making these cookies!   It's a good thing the FunBites makes cutting the dough a breeze!  Head HERE for more information or to purchase FunBites.  Become a fan of FunBites on facebook, and you'll be able to use the coupon code APRILSHOWERS to score FREE SHIPPING on your order!
