I am feeling creative again tonight! We had farfalle (bow tie) pasta the other night and my daughter likes to think that it is butterfly pasta. Of course since it is Friday I need to use leftovers, therefore, it is an automatic butterfly theme. Have a safe and happy Labor day weekend!
Top Box: Butterfly pasta, black olives behind the butterfly baran, sesame cashews (they look like butterflies if you lie them next to each other just right). cucumbers, and grapes
Bottom Box: Butterfly shaped banana bread, craisins, ham, pirate booty (also looks like butterfly when put side by side), red sweet pepper, blueberries, coconut, and cucumber. **This was the big creative moment tonight. I took one of the cucumbers that i had punched out the butterfly shape from and filled the cut out with blueberries and used the red pepper to sprinkle around it.**
