Yankee Doodle lunch- He stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni...
This morning I had one of those head scratching moments of how do I take what I have in the refrigerator and make it work with the theme? I had mac and cheese left over from the previous night and some fruit and cucumbers from the farmers market trip this past weekend.
Suddenly Stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni jumps into my brain and we're off... Yankee Doodle fits citizenship close enough ;)
Left section:
Yankee Doodle - Macaroni and cheese face
Cap- is a free handed baseball cap from a flour tortilla painted with blue food coloring and water
Feather - a provolone feather also painted with food coloring and food safe color pens for the black feather details. Yankee Doodle has a smile of bell pepper and marshmallow eyes (1 small marshmallow cut in 1/2); the background is a lettuce leaf and three banana stars.
Top Right: Frozen blueberries with banana stars. The blueberries will thaw by lunch and help keep the bananas cool.
Bottom Right: Red apple and cucumber slices to make the stripes.
Little S is getting molars in and about four teeth at the same time right now, so I tried to keep it to things he will normally eat. Today was a hard day all around with a case of the grumpies that lasted from when he woke up until he fell alseep.
