The importance of sharing my heritage with my children in explaining the tradition of Día de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) began with a few hiccups. I found it difficult to find the words needed to speak about death. Death is never an easy topic to discuss and I found myself stumbling over words or becoming emotional.
I found being in the kitchen kneading, chopping or stirring – working with my hands I find that I can better control my emotions and introduce a new topic or allow my children to freely ask any questions or voice any concerns they may have. The kitchen has become our safe zone; our place openly share our feelings.
Together as a family we create an altar that honors our dead, from their favorite dulces (candy) or dishes along with photos, flowers and colorful sugar skulls.
My brother-in-law loved colorful bowls of cereal so I thought it would be fun to head into the kitchen with my little ladies to create a fun recipe in his honor. Earlier in the week I had picked up a box of Trix cereal at my local Wal-Mart to make this recipe. A twist on crispy treats and cake bites, this tasty treat in easy to make, plus the kids will enjoy stirring the marshmallows.
