MAKE IT BITE-SIZE
COOKIE-CUTTER
CHEESE TOASTS
2 slices whole
wheat bread
2 slices low-fat cheese
Preheat the
oven to 350 degrees. Place the bread slices on a cookie sheet and top with a
slice of cheese.
Cut out shapes
using cookie cutters. Heat until the cheese melts and bubbles. Serve warm or
cold.
Serves 1.
PAINTED TOAST
1/4 cup nonfat
milk
2 to 3 drops each red, blue, green and yellow food coloring
2 slices white or whole wheat bread
2 clean paintbrushes
Pour 1
tablespoon milk into four small cups. Drop food coloring into the cups to make
four different colors of "paint." Let the kids paint a face, critter or rainbow
onto the bread, then toast the bread and serve.
Alternatively,
tint small amounts of margarine or cream cheese with food coloring, then have
the kids paint the colored spread on the bread. Serves 2.
TOAST TOPPERS
Toast the
bread, then spread the slice with margarine, cream cheese, peanut butter or soft
cheese.
Give the
kids a selection of toppings, such as herbs, seeds, bread crumbs, chopped nuts,
crunchy cereal or cinnamon to sprinkle or press into the spread.
