We saw a helicopter in the sky this morning, so that was today’s creative lunch.  A helicopter body is made of a peanut butter sandwich, then baby carrots were positioned for the blades atop the helicopter as well as the feet.  Windows are sliced string cheese and clouds are made of cottage cheese.

House

by

To make this house, make a sandwich and slice to a square shape.  Create a roof out of celery, a door out of strawberry and a raisin doorknob.  The window and the chimney are made of carrot.  The chimney smoke is cottage cheese and the sidewalk is Triscuit crackers.  The little bush outside the house are little sugar snap peas.  Cheese finishes this scene up as the sun.
 
If you have a specifically colored home (like yellow), try to make your own home with cheese, or use celery to make a green house!  Our house is tan, so the sandwich worked for us!

Stopilght

by

This lunch was inspired when, on the way home from the grocery store, my daughter, as is typical, asked what we could make for her creative lunch.  
As we were driving at the time, I began to look around and decided that we could make a stoplight like the one I was approaching.  It was the perfect opportunity to reinforce the girls’ knowledge of what each light means, and why we have stoplights.
To create the post, cut a peanut butter sandwich into thin sections and arrange as shown above.  Next, cut a strawberry, a yellow pepper (banana would work too), and a green grape to similar sizes.  Create the street below by slicing some cheese into thin strips and arrange to form a street.

Jesus on the Cross

by

Made on Good Friday, Jesus is made out of a baby carrot.  The main body lies flat because the carrot was sliced in half.  Jesus’ eyes are tiny bits of raisin, his crown of thorns – pretzels, and the cross is a peanut butter sandwich cut into the right shape.  The hill is made of banana.
Grace (age 4) actually asked me to make this one as we had talked all day that day about what Good Friday was about.  To her, this was not morbid or disturbing in any way; rather, it was a beautiful reminder of the amazing love that God had for us sending His son Jesus to die for us in this way.  It was the love of our savior in the form of our lunch.

Mr. Peacock

Mr. Peacock was so fun to make.  The best part is that you can make a colorful tail out of any colorful fruits or veggies you have on hand.  Mine has a body made from a peanut butter sandwich, legs and feet of carrot, and a tail made of celery, bananas, carrots, and blueberries.
