Day 3-Noah




Welcome to Advent Day 3! 

🍎🍔🍗🍰🍴
Food suggestions for the Noah Dinner:
  • Popcorn shrimp or fish sticks (or fish if you like that...2011 sushi? talapia? salmon? Truth moment: I have one in my family that does not like fish at ALL. Have done popcorn chicken in the past, but this year I am going to use those little frozen dinosaurs shaped chicken, which opens a whole new theological discussion...)
  • Potato boats (2011 you could also use sweet potatoes and fix them up, marshmallows, butter, brown sugar)
  • Broccoli (swimming in cheese sauce) 
  • Carrots (for logs)
  • Animal crackers (2011 there are several kinds, so look around and find one your family would like)
  • Blue jello (2011 toying with using the whipped cream in a can from Thanksgiving for seafoam)
















***************************************************
Potato Boats
  • 7 potatoes (we have 7 people at our house)
  • shortening
  • butter
  • sour cream
  • cheese and bacon bits

Preheat oven to 400. Grease potatoes with shortening or oil, then put on a foil lined cookie sheet and into the oven. Bake for 45 minutes to an hour. Some people poke them with a fork to keep them from bursting. I have never had that happen with this method. There may be smoke.

After they are soft, take them out and let cool for 10 minutes or so. Then cut them in half, scoop out the insides into a bowl. Add butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon bits to taste. I have also taken the butter and sauteed onions in it and added those...not a big fave with the children, but I liked it:-)

Spoon potatoes back into the halves...usually I only use half of the halves (If you want, you can make potato skins out of the others or just smear butter on them and eat them in the kitchen over the sink...) Put a little more cheese on the "boats" and stick in the oven on the foil lined cookie sheet for a few minutes to melt the cheese.

Noah Ornament 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Our ornament is a cardboard rainbow that the children colored with a fake dove I bought at Hobby Lobby glued on to it.  I stapled a ribbon loop to the rainbow for hanging.
