Funny Face Food-an easy idea

Posted in Great Ideas

We made a funny face lunch today. It was so easy. My son, A., finished his "schoolwork" before the others, came into the kitchen and said he was hungry. So I asked him, "Don't you want to help me make lunch?" He grated the carrots, added canned corn, salt, vinegar and olive oil to make the carrot salad (the hair) and toasted the English muffins. We added the tomato for the nose, soft boiled eggs to go on the English muffins for eyes and added avocado for the mouth (picked from our tree--one of the benefits after surviving the heat and hurricanes in South Florida). We have made other lunches like this. They are so easy. We just look to see what ingredients we have, and begin to create the face on a plate. The kids seem to eat more vegetables this way, too!

Here is a funny face from last week.

just want to say I love your faces. I guess you don't tell your kids not to play with their food. :)
