Easy Snack
Any little thing your child can do for themselves gives them a feeling of accomplishment and freedom. These corn cakes and cheeze slices were a relic of Mikey’s gluten free, dairy free days. The fake cheese was ‘daiya’ brand and the corn cakes were thinner than a rice cake which made for easier sandwich eating.
Not an elaborate snack, but Mikey could do it himself, so we let him make it on his own.
