Wraps
1. Pancake Wraps:
All you need is a pancake, either store bought or homemade, then the fillings of your choice. A favorite around here is peanut butter on the pancake, with a banana rolled up in it. Peanut butter and nutella with banana is great as well. Strawberries and cream cheese is great. Use your imagination and the possibilities are endless.
2. Geometric Lunch:
The idea here is all about shapes. Try to come up with as many combination as you can for a varied menu.
Ideas Include:
* cheese cubes
* carrot sticks and carrot coins
* grapes
* blueberries
* cherries
* ham cubes
* circular slices of cucumber Jack be Nimble Salad Recipe
* crackers- square, round, rectangles
* meat and/or cheese cut into triangles, circles, etc.
Just think of all the different shapes and foods you can come up with. Little kids love this one!
3. Jack Be Nimble Salad
one lettuce leaf
one cheese slice
one slice of lunch meat
2 pineapple rings
1/2 a banana
about a tablespoon of peanut butter
a maraschino cherry
Start by layering the lettuce, meat, and cheese on a flat surface. A sandwich sized plastic container works great for this.
Drain the pineapple juice and save the juice in a separate container.
Place two pineapple rings on top of each other on the lettuce, meat, and cheese layer.
Peel a banana, cut in half, and place the cut end down into the pineapple rings. The rings are your “candle holder” and the banana the “candle”.
Top the banana with peanut butter; this is the melted wax on the end of the candle.
Place half a maraschino cherry on top for the flame.
Reserve drained pineapple and cherry juice, then mix together. This juice can be frozen in ice cube trays to make juice cubes. Add one or two juice cubes to a bottle of regular water to make your own fruit flavored water. It tastes great and is much less expensive than store bought flavored waters.
4. Wraps:
This is another one where you can dream up all sorts of possibilities. You can wrap with tortillas or the flat bread type sandwich wraps. A favorite around here is a spinach flat bread spread with onion and chive or garden vegetable cream cheese, cheese, meat, lettuce, and tomatoes. Any type of wrap is a nice change from the ordinary sandwich.
