Hummus Brown Rice Sandwich
Hummus Brown Rice Sandwich
Puffin Cinnamon Cereal, Barbara’s Bakery, KKA*
Honeydew Melon/Pineapple Kabob, KKA*
Water
OPTION: Replace hummus with a nut butter
TIPS: Such an easy “sandwich” and surprisingly delicious! Simply spread hummus on a brown rice cake, sprinkle shredded carrots, parsley flakes and shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Add a little hummus to the other brown rice cake if you like. Place it on top. Ready to go. Best to resist cutting the rice cake in half. You can also serve it open faced as photographed above. Puffin Cinnamon Cereal “pillows” are great lunch box fillers. Honeydew/pineapple are especially good together in this kabob as their juices slightly intermingle. By lunch time, they will be irresistable. Be sure to use coffee stirrers as the stick – no pointed ends.
