- 1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes
Materials:
- Oven
- 12-hole muffin tray
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Chick ‘n’ Crackers
They are cheese on crackers but with a special twist. Decorate these classic snacks as baby chicks! Happy hatchday!
Prep and cook time: 10 minutes | Servings: 4 cheese and crackers
Ingredients:
- 4 round whole wheat crackers
- 4 slices Colby-Jack cheese
- 1 carrot
- 8 olives, sliced
- 4 eggs
Materials:
- Knife
- Rinsing water
Directions (for each cheese and cracker):
- Place a cracker on top of a cheese slice.
- Use a knife to cut the cheese around the cracker. Leave the cracker on top of the cheese.
- Cut one small triangle and two small circles out of the carrot. Place the triangle (beak) in the middle of the cheese. Place the two circles (feet) at the bottom of the cheese.
- Place 2 olive slices (eyes) above the triangle.
- Gently crack the yolk and egg white from the shells. You only need the shell. Try to keep the shell big and intact. Keep any broken pieces. Save the yolk and egg white for another recipe. (The Red Tomato Flowers recipe is great for this!)
- Rinse and clean the eggshell and pieces by running water through it.
- Place the eggshell next to the cracker. Scatter any broken pieces around the eggshell.
Frozen Berry Stars
