This morning when I asked my son what he’d like for lunch he said, “I wish I could have an Earth Day themed lunch. Mom, can you think about that?” At first I thought: what?! I meant do you want grape jelly or strawberry jam on your PB&J? But this is what I ended up making for him in a pinch.
Ingredients:
I mini whole wheat bagel
2 wedges of spreadable cheese (or dollops of cream cheese)
blue and green food coloring
mayo
turkey deli meat
2 wedges of spreadable cheese (or dollops of cream cheese)
blue and green food coloring
mayo
turkey deli meat
Reserve a corner of the cheese to be left white for the arctic and Antarctic. In separate bowls mix in 2 drops of green food coloring into one wedge of cheese and 2 drops of blue in the other. Spread one half of the bagel with blue colored cheese and then dab the green colored cheese to look like continents. Dab the reserved white cheese on the north and south poles. Spread the other half of the bagel with a little mayo and place a piece of deli meat on top – Pack in a reusable container (it is Earth Day after all) open faced so your child can see the decorated bagel.
Super idea!
