When you’re an on -top-of-the -things, super organized mom, who makes 2 course breakfasts and 5 course dinners in her June Cleaver apron and heels.. WHAT? Did I lose you?
You can’t relate?
Okay, so next time your kids are politely waiting in their sunday best screaming for their cinnamon toast for breakfast and you open your cupboards cabinets to find them bare of cinnamon.. I have a little trick for you.
It’s called… Fairy Toast
Every house has non-pareils sprinkles left over from some holiday or birthday party… so, although that may look like a funky mess of colored goop to you.. to your kids, it’s FAIRY TOAST, and you are the awesome sauce on fairy toast!
You will need: bread, butter, sprinkles and an oven or toaster oven.
Butter bread.. let kids sprinkle buttered bread to their hearts content, toast this stuff… 375 for 15ish minutes (your oven, you know it better than I do)
Pull the Fairy Toast out of the oven and enjoy the silence.
Genius.
Is it sad that I want to make that for myself, right now?
@Rachel, No, no it’s not. My husband loves it, too ;-) Make yourself some and enjoy it to your heart’s content.
Oh fancy sprinkles. Anything that quiets the troop from her pillaging and is easy to make is WIN-WIN in my books. Thank you.

@katie ~ motherbumper, You’re quite welcome, my lovely friend. I am all about sharing anything that quiets the masses.. especially when it’s super easy to fix! YAY!
Fairy Toast sounds soooooo good. I love sprinkles though so I may be biased. :)
@Hilly, Sprinkles rock. I may or may not have about 20 different kinds in my pantry.
GENIUS!

When I was working at my company’s office in Amsterdam, I saw small boxes of sprinkles (rainbow and chocolate – about the size of raisin boxes) in the cafeteria. I asked a team member to explain something I really didn’t get. He looked at me strangely and explained that it was a standard treat in the Netherlands to sprinkle them on buttered bread.
I had never felt so deprived having grown up a child in America and a person who had to return to cafeterias where it would not be perfectly normal to put sprinkles on buttered bread.
