Christmas is just around the corner, school holidays are about to start, inspiration to get into that Christmas Spirit really is everywhere you look!
The question I had was what could I create into Christmas Lunches with Tip Top® The One bread.
The challenge was set.
For our first lunch, I decided that a platter board to be used for a playdate would be a great way to incorporate sharing and also make it fun for children.
On the menu:
Peanut Butter Snowman and Christmas Tree Sandwiches.
Shooting Star Cheese.
Candy Cane Pretzels.
Star and Christmas Tree Carrots.
For our second lunch, it was Santa Claus inspired.
On the menu:
Jam Sandwich (cut into an upside down heart shape with cream cheese beard, jam and cream cheese hat, chocolate button eyes and a red smartie nose).
Santa Belly Apple (cut in half, with a nori seaweed belt, cheese buckle).
Santa Belly Baby Bel Cheese (with nori seaweed belt and a cheese buckle).
Custard (with Christmas sprinkles).
For our third lunch, I combined Santa Clause and the Snowman, with reindeer snacks!
On the menu:
Peanut Butter Santa and Snowman Sandwiches (Cut into rounds, with added cheese, jam and chocolate button eyes for Santa. Chocolate button eyes, carrot nose and a food pen for Snowman’s mouth).
Marshmellow Snowman (with carrot nose, pretzel arms and a food pen for eyes and mouth), over a bed of Wholegrain O’s.
Carrot and Red Peppers (for reindeer snacks).
I have been using Tip Top® The One bread for the last week and it was fresh, soft and perfect for the sandwiches I make for my children. It keeps well on the kitchen counter aswell as in the freezer. It is high in fibre, has added Vitamins and Minerals and a lower GI. It really does offer a unique combination of nutritional needs, that other breads can’t offer. I was impressed that it’s made from natural ingredients and it contains no artificial preservatives. These were things I never thought about when picking a loaf of bread off the shelf at the supermarket.

They look awesome Hun! You are so talented and creative! We love The One bread here too!
The santa jam sandwich was so cute!
I love bread, and like having new brands to try. There really is a huge difference between a quality brand and a dodgy one.
That Santa is the coolest Yvette! Great ideas!!!
I wonder if your daughter’s going to grow up a gourmet? Mine old be mortified if she knew other little girls had these sorts of lunches … Once again just lovely Yvette.
What fabulous ideas!
Must steal some (READ: remember to do them!)
so gorgeous!!
They’re all fab but the Xmas tree board is my fav!
Wow! Aren’t the belt buckles effective!
They all look aaaawesome! I love the Santa Claus inspired one just brilliant!!
Do your kids ever eat their lunch because either (a) they’re too pretty or (b) other kids steal them
Looking preeeetty good!
Mikala wants a lunch like this tomorrow. Will post a pic if it works!
Woo hoo, it’s the Tip Top post – and you were right, they looked awesome!!
I luurrrvvve fresh white bread – makes such a yum sandwich. Great ideas as always Ms Yvette
Your patience to make these amazes me
I love the upside down heart Santa faces, I would eat those with glee!
They look great Yvette – such a clever idea the santa belly apple!!
And I really love the Xmas Tree Board Platter – that looks amazing.
These are amazing. Ok, I’m becoming quickly interested. I was worried that it was a work load with so many kids but I’m thinking this could be some weekend fun for the kids to make their own. Where do I find those amazing cutters?
