No-Fuss Recipes

While we still have those kids in the kitchen, let’s start getting them prepared for next school year. We’ve come up with a few easy lunch ideas, children can make themselves with minimal adult supervision. Use your SNAP dollars to purchase the items necessary if you don’t already have them in your home.

Ingredients:

1. Your selection of cheese
2. Your selection of deli meat
3. Your selection of flat bread

Try some favorites and something new.  Some choices might be: red or yellow onion, summer squash, or green or red bell peppers.

Directions:

1. Place your meat and cheese on top of the bread.
2. Start rolling one corner over until you have a pinwheel.

Serve this simple meal with your choice of side. We recommend a Fruit cup of pretzels!

Recipe 2: Tortilla Pizza
