Minion Lunch

In addition to the birthday cake pancakes last week, I treated my now 9-year-old son to a surprise Minion Lunch on his birthday at school. He loved it! It was quick and simple to make. I used potato bread for the peanut butter and jelly Minion-shaped sandwich because it has a nice yellow hue to it. The goggle strip is grape fruit leather and the eye is a slice of Havarti cheese. To make the round shapes, I used a biscuit cutter and the large end of a metal frosting tip.

I drew a Minion face on the banana with a black sharpie marker. The peel is going to be discarded so there’s no issue with this. And a banana is an obvious choice as a Minion’s favorite food. The dessert Minion is a Twinkie with candy eyes and more grape flavored fruit leather for the mouth and hair. In this case I packed a salad for the veggie, but it can be replaced with carrot or celery sticks, grape tomatoes, or whatever your child might eat.
