Play with Your Food

Show your kids how fun the kitchen can be with these simple edible creations. It's as easy as 1-2-3!

Leprechaun Lunchbox

How lucky would your kid feel if he opened his lunch box on St. Patrick's Day and found a leprechaun, a rainbow, and gold inside?

1. Use a 3" biscuit cutter to make circles from two pieces of bread.

2. Attach shredded carrot with low-fat cream cheese to resemble hair and a beard. Use raisins for the eyes, reduced-fat cheddar cheese for the nose, and a sliced red pepper for the mouth.

3. Make a hat with a wedge of green bell pepper. Press a strip of grape fruit leather on top, and cut out more cheese for the buckle.

4. Layer strawberries, mandarin orange segments, pineapple, green-apple slices, and blueberries in a container. Don't forget to throw in a few gold coins!
