Bon Voyage! Turn Your Veggies Into Boats

by:

One of the simple, great joys in life is making food that looks like other stuff. You know what we mean: pizza pies with pepperoni faces, Mickey Mouse pancakes, ants-on-a-log celery sticks, and a million other things. It looks like we've been so busy personifying our plates, though, that we've completely missed the boat — the Veggie Boat, that is! All you have to do to make these cute little guys sail is collect some veggies, hollow them out, and fill them with a selection of your favorite spreads. A few toothpicks and sail-shaped veggie slices complete the picture. 

You may be thinking this is the perfect thing for a kid's lunch, but we're of the opinion that playing with your food is an all-ages activity.

Cassie loves to cook, eat, and then write about it. She can't resist anything with sweet potatoes, but if she had to pick one food for the rest of her life it might be avocado. (She changes her mind a lot.) She also believes that anything will taste better on a tortilla, and that tacos are the premier food of summertime. You can catch her reading Calvin & Hobbes on the stoop of her apartment, or on the roof in her garden. Say hello!
