So as I promised, here are the next days menu. I know many of your children start back on Wednesday, however, our start back tomorrow, so there will be 4 days this week with lunches. I’ve tried to pick recipes that many of you will have most of what you need on hand, and perhaps not have to make a grocery trip at all to prepare these dishes. So lets dive in shall we?
Today's Menu:
- Peanut butter and strawberry jelly sandwich (Rabbit style).
- Baby carrots and edamame with ranch dip (I use a toothpick to stab a few edamame so they can just dip and eat the beans).
- sliced apples
- Oatmeal-chocolate chip cookies
The fun part of this lunch is going to be making your rabbit sandwich. You’ll need 1 sandwich plus 1 slice of extra bread. Make your sandwich, I like to put PB thinly on both sides so the jelly doesn’t soak the bread and make it soggy. I also use sugar free jams only. They’re a tad bit more expensive in the store, but if you make your own, and canning jams is probably the easiest canning, then it becomes cheaper because of the lack of sugar. And it’s better for you!
So make your sandwich, and use a drinking glass upside down, a biscuit cutter or a round cookie cutter to cut a circle from the sandwich. You want it to take up most of the sandwich and simply leave the corners and crusts off. Then you’ll want to take another slice of bread, cut off the crusts and slice it into strips. I cut mine into four, because I have two children going to school. Cut yours how you wish. Put a very thin strip of PB down the bread and then put strawberry jelly on the bread and fold it longways. This becomes your ears. Simply place in the box next to the round face where the jelly is showing in the middle with bread on both sides. Do this with a second strip and you now have bunny ears! Use nori paper or carrots to make a face, and use very thin strips of celery for whiskers.
Cost per lunch: 86¢
