April Fools Day--Lunch trick


Although this day already holds a special place in my heart as it is my birthday, this year I am celebrating a milestone. .    So I am in the process of coming up with a good trick for my kids but thought I would share this one that I did last year and never posted.  See the post from last year for more ideas

I usually have a box of Smuckers Uncrustables in my freezer for those days I do not have sandwich food or just too plain lazy to make them.   The night before April Fools Day last year, when the kids were asleep, I started experimenting.


I used a large mouthed glass cup to cut out circles out of bread.  I then cut the sandwich meat and cheese out of circles.


Then I carefully opened an uncrustable and removed the sandwich.  Put them in a freezer bag and placed them back into the freezer.

I put the circle sandwich together and then used a fork to replicate the pattern around of the uncrustable.



Put the new sandwich into the PB& J bag and reseal with double stick tape.

Bam, when the kids pull out their lunch they will be surprised that it was not peanut butter.  NOTE: Do not do this in a peanut free school you will cause an uproar!

  13. That is cute. Will have to try that one. Last year I made meatloaf cupcakes with mashed potato icing for April Fool's Day. Two years ago did the sphagetti & meatballs from pound cake, whoppers and strawberry sauce. It was fun. This year so many colds that didn't get to do something. Will have to sneak an April Fool's meal in this week:)
