Heart-Shaped Sandwich
Cut two slices of bread into heart shapes. Sprea with cream cheese and top with a tomato slice. Serve with broccoli “trees” and ranch dressing.
Mini Muffin Pizza
Top a whole-wheat English muffin with low-sugar store-bought marinara sauce or homemade tomato sauce. Sprinkle with low-fat mozzarella cheese and your child’s favorite vegetable and bake on 350 for 5 minutes.
Rainbow Roll-ups
Spread a thin layer of mustard on a spinach wrap. Top with fresh turkey slices, cheese slices and Boston lettuce. Roll the wrap and slice to reveal the different colored layers.
