Alphabet Inspired Lunches - Week E

Now that Valentine's Day is over we are continuing our alphabet exploration (notice the e word there) with the letter E.



E= Ewe

Main: A taco cheese quesadilla cut with a sheep cookie cutter into a ewe. Summer sausage slices with the letters E and W punched out to spell ewe. Sides: baby carrots, a mini silicone cup of M&M's, dried pea pods, and berry beet rice cakes.







E= Egg Head


Main: three egg shaped salami slices stacked together, mini egg shaped cheese forming the sun rays, and eyes of our happy egg head sun along with a piece of cheese for his smiley mouth. The sun is out today and it's going to be 43F (which after more than four weeks of sub freezing temps and over eight weeks since we have seen 40F is a very welcome thaw). Sides: Slices of Kiwi, baby carrots, blueberry filled cereal, and super thing ginger cookies.




E=Elmo

Main: Elmo is a open faced strawberry jam sandwich cut with a Elmo cookie cutter. I used the same cookie cutter to cut the eyes and nose area out of a tortilla and a piece of cheese for his nose. Once I had the toritlla in place I added chocolate chips for his eyes and the cheese nose and Elmo was looking good. Sides: A mini silicone cup of M&M's (the last of his from Valentine's day) dried pea pods, dehydrated strawberries and fresh banana slices.



E= Elephant

Main: Both the mommy and the baby elephant were cut from a single slice of bread with two strategically places cookie cutters, then covered with Biscoff spread and given candy eyes. Sides: Lays stack chips, and a dried strawberry, dried banana and yogurt covered raisin mix.




E=Elf

Main: A taco cheese tortilla cut with an Elf cookie cutter and decorated with food color markers, the rest of the quesadilla was turned into the ski slope he is standing on. The E is his latest refrigerator magnet letter since this is the last lunch of E week. Sides: (same as yesterday since they were a huge hit) Lays stack chips, and a dried strawberry, dried banana and yogurt covered raisin mix.
