Snacks In No Time: Tea Sandwiches

-Great for spring and summer, kids enjoy helping in the kitchen and making decisions.  Giving them choices gets even the pickiest of eaters to eat.


Ingredients:
  • 8 oz. Cooked Meat (Pork, Chicken, Ham or Beef)
  • 1/4 cup Shredded Cheese  (Parmesan, Swiss, or Cheddar)
  • 1/3 cup Salad Dressing (Ranch, Caesar, Mayonnaise, or Miracle Whip)
  • 2 oz. Fresh Vegetables (Carrots, Celery, Pickles, Onion, or Green Pepper or a combination of these.)
Instructions: Using a food processor combine all ingredients until smooth.  Spread onto bread and make into Sandwiches.  Slice into triangles, and serve on a plate for snacking.  Store any extra spread in a reseal able container and store in refrigerator, use within 3 days. Tips:
  1. Kids like variety, so try as many combinations as possible to eliminate boredom.
  2. Pre-schooler’s also like sandwiches that are cut into different shapes, try using cookie cutters to make it more interesting.
* I understand my recipes are incredibly easy and sometimes even self explanatory, but my kids are able to make them by themselves with little to no help. These are to help them feel confident in the kitchen.
