Two Birds and a Tree Treat

I saw this on the Internet and just had to make it myself.  It's so cute and a good way to get kids to eat their protein!  It's a very simple and healthy snack.





Ingredients:
1 brown, cage-free egg
1 Horizon organic Colby cheese stick
9 green grapes



Directions:
1. Boil the egg for 20 minutes, peel, and slice in half. Let cool.
 
2. Slice the cheese stick in half, length-wise, then make two slits to make the branches.  Be careful or they'll break.

3. Arrange the grapes around the tree branches to look like leaves.

4. Cut two triangles of cheese for the bird beaks.

5. Place one peppercorn on each egg half for the eyes.
