SAILBOAT SANDWICHES FOR PINT-SIZE CAPTAINS



Sailboat Sandwiches for Pint-Size Captains image

These really cute sailboat sandwiches can be made with either tuna salad or peanut butter. I added a carrot "life preserver" and a small slice of zucchini for a steering wheel for the tuna boat. I also added a fruit loop "life preserver" and a wheel pretzel for a steering wheel on the peanut butter boat. Tip: For party food, place boats on a platter of crisps or potato chips to give a "wave" effect, and use leftover pieces of cheese to make shark fins, and sprinkle with some colored goldfish.

Steps:

  • Cut an oval in the middle of the hot dog bun and scoop out some of the insides. Fill with tuna salad or peanut butter.

TUNA BOATS



Tuna Boats image

Janelle Aguda of Chicago, Illinois gets her son involved in this sea-cruising cuisine by having him assemble the simple sails out of cheese slices. They like to serve the "boats" on blue paper plates with fish-shaped crackers.
