Easy After School Snacks You and Your Child Can Make Together

Wrap Wheels
1 whole-wheat tortilla or other soft flat bread
1 tbsp. light mayonnaise, mild mustard, or even ketchup
1 slice of lean turkey breast
1 slice low-fat cheese (such as American or cheddar)
1 leaf lettuce

Spread the mayonnaise lightly across the entire tortilla or flat bread. If you are using a squeeze bottle of a spread, your child might like to draw an "X" in the middle of the tortilla.

Fold the meat and cheese in half and place at the bottom of one end of the tortilla.

Place lettuce leaf on top.

Starting at the meat/cheese end, tightly roll the tortilla towards the open end.

Cut into "wheels" and serve!

Chipotle Chicken Wings With Honey Blue Cheese Dip

I love trying new recipes just to "spice" things up a bit and this delicious recipe did the trick! My family and I tried this recipe today. It was the perfect summertime grill recipe. Wow!  Awesome chicken.  Don't let it scare ya, it's not as hot as it sounds.

I also served fresh garden cucumber slices, garden fresh tomatoes and homemade old fashioned potato salad.
