Therefore, it is necessary for them to cook beautiful and funny dishes that they simply cannot resist. On the festive table there must certainly be canapes-boats. They are prepared very simply and quickly. You can make them from halves of eggs stuffed with grated cheese. To do this, cut five eggs in half and remove the yolks from them. Mix them with cheese and sour cream. The resulting mass will fill the protein halves. And from above we insert a sail from curved chips. Each boat can be put on a piece of blue napkin to simulate a sea wave. So we got a boat running along the waves.

ladybugs

Sandwiches "Ladybugs" - a great idea for a children's holiday. To prepare such an appetizer, you need any non-sweet cookies (or crackers). Cookies must be greased with any paste that is suitable for the kids. Place lettuce on each canapé. Then we take the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. On each half we make a deep incision, imitating the wings of insects. The heads of ladybugs are made from olives.

We make eyes and white dots on tomatoes from droplets of mayonnaise using toothpicks. Such wonderful insects will certainly please the kids.

Pineapple Chicken Rolls

For a children's holiday, chicken rolls stuffed with pineapple slices are good. For cooking, we need one kilogram of chicken. Cut the meat into plates, then beat, pepper, salt, add a little mustard. We put grated cheese, pieces of canned pineapples and champignons on each piece. Roll the roll tightly and rewind the threads (you can chop them with toothpicks). The resulting cocoons are greased with spices and oil, and then baked for about forty minutes in the oven. Before serving, flavored rolls must be removed.
