Lil Gayle's Recipe Corner!
Give your kids the energy they need to make it through the day with a healthy lunch. Studies have shown that if you equip your children with healthy food to eat at school, they will be better prepared to study and learn. Although there are lots of convenience products available to make packing your kid's lunchbox a snap, those products are often loaded with saturated fat and preservatives. Our collection of kid-friendly ideas take little time to prepare and will help keep lunches enjoyable and healthy. Fruits and vegetables add color and crunch while providing beneficial vitamins and minerals. Lunch box items like wraps and dips are fun to eat. Give your kids something to look forward to at lunch every day with a variety of options they won't trade away!
Here are a few "Back to School" lunch and snack ideas sure to get an A+!

1/2 cup shredded cooked chicken
1/4 cup shredded carrots
2 tablespoons Gayle's Original BBQ Sauce
2 teaspoons light ranch dressing
1 small whole-wheat sandwich bun
1 leaf romaine lettuce

BBQ Turkey Roll ups
Ingredients
wheat flour tortilla
Turkey slices
Gayle's BBQ Sauce
carrots and bell pepper
Preparation
1. Pour 1 tablespoon of barbecue sauce in the center of a flattened tortilla. Spread the sauce with the back of the spoon until it covers the tortilla in a thin layer.
2 Layer the turkey slices over the barbecue sauce.
3. Spread a layer of shredded lettuce over the turkey.
4. Add chopped carrot and chopped red pepper to the lettuce layer. The vegetable bits give the roll-up a nice crunch and add a dab of moisture.
5. Roll the tortilla tightly, starting from the edge nearest you. Apply gentle pressure to the top as you roll it over into a tube.
6. Place the rolled tortilla on a sheet of foil. Hold the end of the foil against the tortilla and roll it up into a tight tube. Pinch the ends to seal. Alternatively, tuck the roll-up into a large plastic zipper bag and roll the bag around the roll-up, pressing out air as you go. Seal the bag closed. **DON'T forget to include a small sealed container of Gayle's BBQ Sauce for dipping veggies, or anything else they enjoy! |
