Step by Step Cooking with Namaw and Staci

Have you noticed the new trend in online recipes? No longer do people just post a recipe with a picture of the finished product. Now they post step by step pictures! It's pretty neat to get to watch the delicious food come together...especially since I know my chances of recreating in real life the recipes that I see online are very slim.

In honor of our friend, Paula...aka Romaine, coming over for lunch today, Mom and I decided to do a little step-by-step recipe of our own. These were live shots of us making lunch for Brody on Monday.

Turkey Cheeto Rollups
Ingredients:
Deli Turkey
Cheetos
Kitchen Table (although any surface will do. It would be best to wipe down the surface before you start, however, I'm not sure that we did...so it's up to you.)

First you take a slice of turkey out of the package and spread it out on the table.

Next, take a Cheeto and lay it on the slice of turkey at one end. You may have to cut the Cheeto to length (aka bite off one end) so that it doesn't stick out past the edges of the slice of turkey.

Now carefully roll the slice of turkey around the Cheeto

Now for the best part...hand it to your 3 year old!

He smiles as he realizes that you didn't just hand him a slice of turkey...you hid a surprise inside!

He takes a timid bite...

SUCCESS!!!! You have now discovered a way to get your child to eat something besides a peanut butter sandwich for lunch! Sure the Cheetos may not be the most healthy...but you can get 6 slices of turkey down him by using 6 little Cheetos!
