BLACK & ORANGE PICK UPS:

POLKA DOT OPEN-FACE SANDWICHES:

Cut bread into unusual slices with cookie cutters. Cover with a meat spread. Put a small cube of cheese on top. Brown under the broiler.

GET OUT OF THE CARROT STICK RUT:

Use some unusual vegetables as snacks, such as tasty raw zucchini wheels, wafer thin slices of turnip, cherry tomatoes, cauliflower pieces, green onions, red and green peppers and mushrooms. Vegetable tid-bits make wonderful treats.

FOR THAT REFRIGERATOR RAID:
