A couple of weeks ago, I spent the week at my parent's house. My nephew was having a rough morning while I was watching him, so to cheer him up, we looked through this cookbook magazine my mom had that featured silly kids foods. This is right up his alley! He loves all things crazy- jokes, made-up knock knock jokes, Mad Libs, pictures that include things that don't belong, slapstick comedy...you name it, he's doubled over on the floor laughing. He has a lot more challenges than most kids his age, and I think all the laughter is medicinal for him. It made him so happy seeing these food items, that I decided we would have a crazy vegan lunch the next day. Jenny helped me out a ton, as I bit off way more than I could chew.
First up, a scooter appetizer made with pretzel rods & sticks, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, cream cheese, and cheese.
Then, fruit salad. I think this is supposed to be an animated car? Never got it, but it was cute, nonetheless.
The entree was a nacho plate- chips, beans and vegetarian chili, cheese, lettuce, black olives, tomatoes and sour cream. It's a face, people. My nephew was very adamant about this guy making the menu.
Dessert was my favorite- ice cream piggies! I picked this one out because it looked easier than the twenty other ones that he picked out. They were made using neapolitan ice cream, strawberries, bananas, and chocolate chips. I loved these little guys.
