Day 10

There was no school today and we went to a play date for lunch so I thought I'd post something that D and I did over the weekend.  One of the ways I am able to get D to eat healthy foods is to involve her in the process.  We made Rainbows And Butterflies Pasta Salad.

Here D is using small fondant cutters (Wilton brand that I picked up at Michael's) to cut shapes out of her all time favorite Orange Bell Peppers. 

The end result...

She loves, loves, loves this pasta salad.  I made some grape tomato hearts for the red, corn for yellow, orange bell peppers, edamame and peas for green, add a bit of greek yogurt with blueberries and she has eaten the rainbow!
