I saw this idea in a magazine a while back and decided to try it out for this week's Fun Food Friday.
I'm making the Garlic-Avocado Sammies for dinner tonight, so figured I could use the spread from that as the water. I'll post the recipe next week, but it's basically cream cheese and avocado. I put a drop of blue food coloring in a small amount of it to do the lunch.
The base is a rice cake. A bagel or any sort of bread would work. I'm sure you all know what the fishy crackers are. The rest is just stuff I dug out of the fridge and yard. Broccoli, cherry tomatoes, garlic chives, basil, and cucumber.
Here's lunch on the plate:
They were near identical, but here's the other one:
I'm so glad it's Friday.
Have a good weekend!
Omg, adorable! I work with a bunch of people who eat rice cakes like they're going out of style -- I'm passing along these photos :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Mindy.... I'm such an inadequate mother. The most exciting meal Izzy sees is if it makes it to her Dora plate instead of a plain plate :D You amaze me!
ReplyDeleteLOL - so cute. Do you think vegetarians can eat those fish? lol
