Butterfly Sandwiches Two slices of bread Favorite filling (Tuna is perfect) celery stick Carrot "pennies" Sliced olive This is so much easier to do than to explain so have your kids teach their friends! Make sandwich. Cut in half diagonally. Cut each half in half again. Now you have 4 triangles. Put pieces on a plate with points touching - you've got the wings. Put a short piece of the celery stick along the middle to make the body. Decorate the wings with olive slices on front triangles and carrot pennies on back triangles ************************************ Purple Milk Add boysenberry syrup to milk and stir. If not purple enough add a drop of red food color. ************************************ Purple Cow Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to a glass of grape juice! ************************************* Bird's Nest Toast For each: 1 slice whole wheat toast 1 egg separated Margarine for toast shredded cheese (optional) Spread toast with margarine and set on oven proof plate or cookie sheet. Whip egg white until stiff and peaked. Spoon egg white onto toast in a ring leaving hole in the middle. Slip egg yolk into center hole. Sprinkle very lightly with shredded cheese. Toast under broiler until egg whites begin to brown and yolk is set. ************************************ Leprechaun Juice Add a drop of green food coloring to apple or white grape or cranberry juice. Serve in a wine glass for an extra bit of magic.
