Sandwiches

In my last blog post, I talked about my favorite meal of the day: breakfast! Now, we are moving on to the second meal of the day. Just like breakfast, there are many different dishes that can be served for lunch. In my house, the most popular thing to eat for lunch is a sandwich. Have you ever eaten a sandwich? Have you ever made one? They are simple to make and there are so many combinations you are sure to find one you like. A sandwich consists of two slices of bread with meat, cheese, or any other filling in between. A few popular sandwiches in the Unites States include ham and cheese, tuna salad, and peanut butter and jelly. Some people like to add even more toppings to their sandwiches, like mayonnaise, pickles, lettuce, cheese, and tomatoes. I love all sandwiches, but my favorite is a BLT. A BLT is made with bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes. I like to use white bread and add a little mayonnaise. In my opinion, a good sandwich needs good bread and a little crunch! Another sandwich I love is peanut butter and banana. I know this combination sounds strange, but trust me! Read the recipe below to make your own peanut butter and banana sandwich.

INGREDIENTS
Two slices of whole wheat bread
Two tablespoons of peanut butter
One ripe banana
One teaspoon of honey

First, toast both slices of whole wheat bread.
Then, spread the peanut butter evenly on one slice of bread.
Next, ask an adult to help cut the banana into thin slices.
After that, place the slices in an even layer on top of the peanut butter.
Then, drizzle the honey on top of the bananas.
Finally, place the second slice of bread on top and enjoy!

Healthy Snacks

Everyone loves to eat snacks , but usually we reach for potato chips, cookies, or candy. These foods are delicious, but they are not healthy . Obesity has become a problem in the United States, but we can help by making healthy choices when we eat. Today, I am going to describe three healthy snacks I like to make and eat. These foods are good and good for you! Everyone knows fruits and vegetables are good for you, but they can be a little boring. The first healthy snack I want to tell you about is called "ants on a log". I know what you are thinking... "ew! who wants to eat ants?" One way to make healthy snacks more fun is to give them a silly name. For this recipe , you will need two stalks of celery, two tablespoons of peanut butter, and twenty raisins.

Next, spread the peanut butter into the hollow side of the cele

My brother, Tom, always asks me for the same birthday gift every year. He does not ask for toys, shoes, or a bike. Instead, Tom always asks for my famous birthday cake! Cake is a delicious dessert covered in sweet, gooey frosting . You can eat cake any time of year, but birthday cake is traditional . After dinner, the birthday boy or girl is presented with a cake decorated with lit candles. The birthday boy or girl makes a secret wish, blows out the candles, and shares the cake with the guests. Cake can be made in many different flavors, but my famous cake is chocolate with vanilla frosting. Tom's birthday was last week, so I got his annual request.

Halloween is an exciting holiday celebrated in the United States on October 31st. It is a spooky day with a lot of fun activities, like dressing up in silly costumes and carving jack-o-lanterns . My favorite part of Halloween, though, is the candy! Children dress up and go trick-or-treating; this is when they knock on their neighbors ' doors and receive candy! There are many different types of candy that get passed out to friendly trick-or-treaters and everyone has their favorites. My favorite candy is sour, chewy, sweet, warheads. There are also crunchy snickers, sweet gummy worms, and creamy peanut butter cups. Candies are all different and we can use adjectives to describe them. Do you notice all of the adjectives I used?
