It's fun to create different lunch combinations with my mom. I like to make patterns in the cheese and use a crinkle vegetable cutter. Ingredients:
block of cheddar or colby-monterey jack cheese |
cooked tortellini |
grape tomatoes |
whole wheat bread slices, cut into 1-inch pieces |
leaf lettuce, optional |
sliced deli ham, cut into 1-inch strips |
seedless red or green grapes |
wooden skewers (5 to 6 inches) |
Directions:
1. Cut cheese into 1/4-in. slices and then into 1-in. pieces. (Smaller pieces may break when threaded on the skewer.)
2. Mac & Cheese on a Stick: Alternately thread cheese and tortellini on a skewer. Add grape tomatoes if desired.
3. Ham & Cheese on a Stick: Thread bread, lettuce if desired, cheese and a ribbon of ham on a skewer. Add additional cheese and bread pieces. Hold in place with a grape or grape tomato on each end.
4. Fruit & Cheese on a Stick: Alternately thread grapes and cheese on a skewer.
5. Create your own Lunch on a Stick: Let children place their favorite ingredients on a stick. Yield: 4 servings.
