first… Could Eggs!

Preheat oven to 350 F. Separate white and yolk of eggs and place each yolk into a separate glass or bowl. Place all whites into a large bowl with some salt and whip with a cake beater until stiff peaks form. Place bu spoonfuls on cookie sheet prepared with parchment and sprayed with cooking spray.

Next: Mermaid Toast

Directions for Mermaid Toast

This one is easy. Make toast. Smear with cream cheese. Sprinkle with spirulina and chlorophyll and swirl around so it looks pretty – then eat – On one of mine pictured I added a drop of blue food colouring for fun for Leo – yep, Leo ate it and he actually liked it!

Give it a shot – it does require a shopping trip to a health food store or Whole Foods…

Hope you have as much fun with this as I am having!
