spacer Made with Love. spacer

spacer If you want to get really creative, use cookie cutters to transform your child’s picnic sandwiches into a work of art – or even into their initials. These little surprises are sure to bring a smile to their faces. spacer

spacer BYOS - Bring your own sandwich and SHARE! spacer
spacer
spacer Bring your own sandwich and SHARE! This is part potluck, part tea party. Ask your picnic partners to bring their favorite sandwich. The catch (and the fun) is – everyone will cut their sandwiches into tiny squares, the modern day cucumber sandwich, and share! spacer

spacer Even better the second time. spacer

spacer There’s no better way to save on time and money than with leftovers. When cleaning up after dinner, instead of putting the leftovers into storage containers or even the trash (gasp!), take out the bread and sandwich bags and get to work. Friday’s leftover chicken and veggies will make a delicious sandwich for Saturday’s picnic. spacer

spacer Mix up the bread in your children’s sandwiches, using one slice whole wheat and one slice enriched white and then after cutting the sandwiches into quarters, flip two of the quarters over to make a checkerboard. It is a great way to start introducing kids to whole grain bread. Kids love fun-looking food, even if it’s good for them! spacer
spacer
spacer Put Some Pep in your Prep. spacer
spacer
spacer To avoid a soggy situation, leave the dressing and veggies off your sandwiches until you arrive at your destination. Slice your tomatoes and cucumbers and put them in a hard plastic container until they’re ready for the main event. Keep your condiments packed tightly and make sure
they’re kept cold to prevent spoiling.		 spacer

Many of us stick with the tried-and-true picnic sides like potato chips or potato salad. Try pretzels or crackers instead of chips and a pasta salad with lots of vegetables. Other popular favorites include apple slices topped with peanut butter or create ants on a log (peanut butter-filled celery sticks, topped with raisins). This will give the little ones plenty of steam and moms will love the extra nutrition. Summertime is an excellent time to focus on eating all five food groups every day. Enjoy! spacer My Pyramid - Steps to a Healthier You
