Answer
Healthy Sandwich Bites
Use an assortment of cookie cutters (or just cut the bread into 4's), white and wheat bread, and the two types of sandwich spreads below to make a plate of healthy sandwich bites.
Roasted Chicken Spread:
Ingredients:
2 roasted chicken breasts, skinless and boneless, cut into small pieces
3 tablespoons light mayonnaise
1/4 cup light cream cheese (fat-free cream cheese can be substituted)
Cheddar Cheese Spread:
Ingredients:
8 ounces reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese, shredded or grated
8 ounces light or nonfat cream cheese
9 slices special recipe white or whole wheat or cracked wheat bread
Prep:
1. Decide which spread you would like to make. Cut the bread slices into interesting shapes using cookie cutters. Press cookie cutter onto 1 slice of bread at a time. If bread doesn't cut all the way, use a plastic knife to cut around the cookie cutter. Make sure you make two of every shape (to make a sandwich).
2. For chicken spread, add the chicken pieces, mayonnaise, and cream cheese to a food processor. Pulse the food processor until ingredients are blended well and are spreadable.
3. For cheese spread, add grated cheese and cream cheese to food processor. Pulse the food processor until ingredients are blended well and are spreadable.
4. Spread some of the chicken or cheddar cheese spread on one of the bread shapes. Cover with the second piece of bread in the same shape. Repeat with other bread shapes.
One spread recipe makes about 12 mini sandwiches.

Can you use wax paper instead of parchment?

There's a few yummy sounding healthy recipes I want to try. They call for wrapping things in parchment paper. I live in Alaska so that is very expensive. Can I use old-fashioned wax paper instead? What's the difference in cooking with parchment instead of wax paper?
Answer
You can't use wax paper in the oven, it'll melt.
The main difference between waxed paper and parchment paper is their respective coatings. Parchment paper is coated with silicone to give it a nonstick, heat-resistant surface, whereas waxed paper is coated with a wax such as soybean or paraffin.
Waxed paper is not meant for use in the ovenâthe wax coating on it will melt if the paper is exposed to direct heatâso use it for wrapping up sandwiches or food for cold storage. Parchment paper is the best choice for cooking, as most brands can withstand temperatures up to about 420 degrees Fahrenheit (double-check your package to be safe). Parchment paper is good for lining cookie sheets to eliminate the need to grease them, and is also used to cook âen papillote,â a technique of wrapping food in a packet and baking it.
The other way the papers differ is in how theyâre processed before being coated. Pat Schweitzer, a spokesperson for Reynolds Consumer Products, says that the companyâs parchment paper is pressed into a sheet, then dipped into an acid bath, washed, and âpassed over a series of hot rotating drums that realign the fibers and give the paper its strength,â before the silicone coating is applied. Reynoldsâ waxed paper, on the other hand, undergoes a process called super calendering, which compresses the paper to give it its transparency, before it is coated in wax.
