19 Dec Earnie Cakes

When throwing together this simple lunch for my daughter, I was simply trying to make this meal look like a face; however after seeing the finished product I realized that this lunch had a striking resemblance to Ernie from Sesame Street. And thus, the Ernie Cake was born!

Ingredients 

• 1 organic corn or rice thin (I really love Real Foods brand as these are thin enough for my 1 year old daughter to enjoy and they are organic)
• 2 cherry tomatoes
• 2 olives
• 1/8 of an avocado
• Leftover shredded chicken, pork or beef, about 1/4 cup

You may need to double or triple ingredients if feeding more than 1 kid OR if your kid is a bigger eater.

Steps:

1. Slice olives in half and place as eyes on the corn/rice thin
2. Cut the tomato into 4 slices, and halve 1 of those slices. Use 1 round for the nose and the two half founds for ears
3. Slice a section of avocado and place as mouth (see picture for reference)
4. Top with shredded meat for hair
