healthy sandwich recipes with pictures image
Hazelnut
So far I cook healthy for all the family, adding a glug of extra virgin olive oil where suitable for baby's and daddy's portion (im trying to lose some weight)..but I'm running out of ideas and need some cute healthy toddler meal ideas..
what good websites do you know that have a large database of toddler recipes? THAAANKS!
Answer
When I cook for my family, I usually find recipes in magazines (I tear out the recipe and put in my recipe binder) or from Allrecipes.com. I usually have something in mind I'm looking for and search for it finding the one that has the most natural ingredients possible.
Go to Parents.com to find some family friendly recipes (these are healthy! for the most part) but they also have ideas that are fun and exciting. For instance, cutting up a waffle (placing it back together) and putting blueberries in the little squares to make a picture or letter.
Adding pumpkin to pancakes makes them orange plus nutritious
When I make my son a toasted cheese sandwich, I make a face in the top piece of bread. Thinks its funny!
Serve homemade soup, add a couple pieces of crackers in a smile.
Otherwise, I just place his food on one of his cute plastic plates.

This is fast, easy and inexpensive to make. I made one jar for me and three jars for my neighbors on the first try at making jam. Save peanut butter jars, olive jars or baby food jars to put it in or buy new mason jars. It can be frozen.

With a large, sharp knife, remove the top 1/4 section of the watermelon. With a melon baller, scoop flesh from inside of watermelon, removing as many seeds as possible. Leave 1/2 inch of flesh inside the shell of the watermelon. Scoop cantaloupe and honeydew in the same manner, removing as much flesh as possible, and discarding the rinds. Refrigerate fruits separately until ready to assemble.
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring water and sugar to a boil. Remove from heat, and continue stirring until sugar has completely dissolved. Add lemon zest, and set aside to cool.
To serve, place watermelon balls, cantaloupe, honeydew, oranges, pineapple, strawberries, and grapes, in a large mixing bowl. Pour syrup over, and toss thoroughly.

Tropical Thai Fruit Salad, Served in a Pineapple
This healthy and exotic Thai fruit salad will be the hit of your party - especially when served in a pineapple "boat" (a carved out pineapple). Create your own assortment of tropical and local fruit - whatever is fresh and in season. Serve with ice cream, whipped cream, or on its own for a fresh fruit feast. Makes a terrific addition to a potluck, BBQ, or dinner party. Carving instructions for the pineapple are included with the recipe - just follow the steps (with pictures).
INGREDIENTS:
1 fresh, ripe pineapple (to check if pineapple is ripe, hold it up by one on the top leaves - the leaf should detach)
Juice of 1 lime
2-3 Tbsp. brown sugar
An assortment of tropical or local fruit, such as: papaya, banana, lychee, watermelon, kiwi, etc...
optional: a few leaves of fresh basil as a garnish
PREPARATION:
To make the fruit salad, peel and cut up the fruit you have chosen into bite-size pieces.
(If you have carved out a pineapple, add chunks of the carved out fruit to the mix.) Place fruit together in a mixing bowl.
In a cup, mix together the limejuice with the sugar. If you prefer a sweeter salad, use 3 Tbsp. brown sugar instead of 2.
Pour the lime juice/sugar mixture over the fruit and gently mix the salad.
If serving in a carved-out pineapple, spoon or scoop the fruit into the pineapple (reserve as much of the liquid as possible, as it will leak through the bottom of the pineapple. When actually serving up the fruit salad, you can spoon the reserved liquid over each portion). Garnish with a few leaves of fresh basil, if using. Note: be sure to place a plate or bowl under the carved-out pineapple, as it is porous and may leak.
Serve this fruit salad on its own, or with ice cream or whipped cream.
Leftovers will keep in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Creating a Pineapple "Boat"
Choose the best side of your pineapple.
Choosing the best side to cut
·Start with a ripe pineapple. When purchasing, look for nice color both in the leaves and the skin. Check for ripeness by lifting the pineapple by a single leaf (choose a leaf toward the top). If the leaf comes out, it's ripe. Try this test several times on the same pineapple. Avoid buying pineapples whose skin is easily indented, which means they are overripe.
·Now lay your pineapple on a counter or table. Turn it to find the most attractive side. Take into consideration how it lies (will it lie flat, without tumbling over?). Also, choose the side with the best looking leaves.
·Rotate the pineapple slightly. Using a serrated knife, begin to make a slice (no more than 1/4 of the pineapple) along the best side. Note: You should not cut the leaves.
