French bread stick sandwiches

French bread sticks are a great way to make snack sized sandwiches for picnics, parties etc as each sandwich can be held in one hand, has a crust around, won’t fall apart easily and is still only a couple of bites.

Or you can just slice the bread and everyone pops on their own filling.

Also can be made as toasted sandwiches OR French toast.

These are wonderful as little kid sandwiches as they are easy to hold in little hands

Kid sized sandwiches

Make little sized sandwiches for little sized hands by slicing a French bread stick into rounds and making as per the usual fillings your child would normally like. If need be can still be cut in half.

If need be you can cut a hot dog roll into slices to to make sanwiches for little sized hands. You can then do white, grain or wholemeal bread.

Capsicum egg rings

Slice approx 1 centimetre ring off your favourite capsicum, pop into a heated frypan cracking in an egg as per egg rings.  Cook to your preferred doneness, serving as you normally would.  You can also use onion rings if you have a big enough onion and a small enough egg.

Hash browns

Try sprinkling a few of your favourite dried herbs on hash browns before putting under the grill or in the oven.  You can have the herbs of your choice and mix and match herbs or not, for fussy eaters.

Pastry or Dough clean up

Whether you use a pastry sheet, your bench top or a chopping board to roll your pastry or knead your dough, you will end up with dried bits stuck to places they shouldn’t be. Upturn your measuring cup and use the rim to scrape your kneading surface; as it’s usually a round plastic cup, you do more angles at once and won’t scratch your surface. If your measuring cup is metal use a sturdy drinking cup.
