      Honey, bananas, butter, marshmallow crème,
      Nutella, pickles & onions, other fruit spreads

I have a similar list taped inside my baking cupboard door... when I can't figure out what to fix, I just look on this list... it sparks my imagination to come up with a new and different lunch. Go ahead...  Copy it... deleting your dislikes and adding your family favourites ! Then tape the list inside your cupboard alongside your family favourite recipes, favourite pictures and reminders! It will help you when you are in a quandary as to what to make!
