Cute Sandwich Idea: The Friendly Mr. Owl

 The Friendly Mr. Owl

Meet the friendly Mr. Owl.  His head/body is a peanut butter sandwich, his eyes are Ritz crackers with blueberries, wings and strawberries.  His beak and feet are carrots, and the moon is a banana.  I created those stars by placing some plain yogurt in my cake-decorating bag and using the star shaped tip.  I’m not gonna lie, that was going a little above and beyond, You could easily just dab the yogurt on with a small spoon if you want to recreate this guy!

Cute Sandwich Idea: Volcano

Volcano

This volcano was made in honor of my daughter’s recent fascination with lava.   The volcano is a grilled cheese sandwich, the lava is ketchup (used for dipping) and the ground below is some rice leftover from last night’s dinner.

Simply cut your grilled cheese sandwich into a triangle, squeeze your ketchup to look like lava, and add something for the ground beneath the volcano.

"Hot Cocoa" Sandwich

Hot Cocoa - Sandwich

Oh, the joys of hot cocoa in the winter — the steaming cup of chocolatey goodness, especially with little marshmallows! In keeping with the season, I made this super simple “hot cocoa” sandwich. I originally made it without the Fruit Roll-Ups as decoration, but when I showed it to my nephews, they said: “Ooooo, decorate the cup!”  So I did, but it’s completely optional. Decorate it as silly as you want, or leave it plain.

Turn a sandwich into a kite with this simple, high-flying lunch idea

One of my kids’ favourite activities on a windy Spring day is to fly a kite! They get so excited when their kite catches a breeze and flies high through the sky. I love seeing the joy on their faces! We’ve already flown our kites several times this Spring, and I thought it would be fun to make them a kite lunch too. This lunch was really simple to make and took only minutes to assemble.

That being said, the forecast is now calling for rain. I’m okay with that though; the rain helps melt the remaining snow and will clean things up a bit. The rain also brings flowers! You know the saying, “April showers bring May flowers”? Let’s hope that’s true.
