When we went to Trader Joe's the other day, we picked up a bunch of things and a few old favorites made it into the cart. Molly used to request pimento cheese sandwiches all of the time. I introduced pimento cheese spread to my kids one day on the way home from the zoo. Trader Joe's is very close to the Pittsburgh Zoo so on our way home, we stopped for a snack. I bought mini whole wheat pitas and the pimento cheese spread as a way to introduce it in a small way, just in case they didn't like it. Well, they are truly my kids and it showed with their new found love of pimento cheese spread. We haven't had it for a while so Molly's eyes lit up when she saw it.
Our main entree is mini pimento cheese sandwiches. We split 5 (there are 6 in a serving according to the nutritional information) Trader Joe's mini whole wheat pitas and filled them with Trader Joe's pimento cheese spread. Molly is going to go crazy over this blast from the past.
Our vegetable side is mini cucumbers. We used our crinkle knife to cut these up to make them look more like a pickle. They are really crunchy and refreshing.
Our fruit side is a peach and some raspberries. We found these peaches very inexpensively at a huge sale at a local super market. We like the combination for both aesthetic appeal and flavor.
Finally, our dairy/dessert is plain vanilla yogurt. Molly will more than likely add her raspberries to this yogurt. She has been loving this combination of vanilla yogurt and fresh berries.
