Ninja's in the Kitchen - Bits & Bites

Nick loves Ninja's and their weapons and outfits.  It is not unusual to see him fully decked out as a Ninja. 

This particular day he wasn't dressed up as one but was practicing his weapon skills.  I asked Nick if he wanted to help me make Bits and Bites and he thought that was a great idea. 

He went and washed up and came back and wondered "Where do Ninja's put there weapons when they cook?"  Um, I am not sure... 

He ended up putting his Ninja knives in his waisteband of his pants.  That way if we were attacked while making our snack he would be able to quickly defend us.  Good thing he is around, I feel very safe.

The boys have always helped me make Bits & Bites.  It is a very kid friendly recipe.

Bits & Bites
3 cups Cheerios
3 cups Shreddies
2 cups pretzels
1 cup mixed nuts
1/2 cup melted butter
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp celery salt
2 tbsp worcestersauce

Have your Ninja accomplice measure and pour all the cereal and nuts into a roasting pan and mix them all up.  Mix the melted butter and spices and worcestersauce and then pour over the cereal mixture and toss it all together to coat it all.  Bake it in a 350 degree oven for about 30 - 40 minutes stirring it every 10 minutes.  Enjoy!
