by Christine Steendahl
Description: Ideas for serving a creative meal for April Fool’s Day.
April Fool’s Day is the perfect day to have fun with the meals you
serve. Surprise your family on April 1st with these fun meal ideas.
Fake Hot Dogs and French Fries
Your kids will love fake hot dogs and French fries for lunch this April
fools day.
Peel a banana and spread peanut butter all over it to give it the
appearance of a hot dog. Serve it in a hot dog bun with some strawberry
preserve drizzled over the hotdog to make it look like ketchup.
For the fries, peel some apples and cut them into sticks resembling
fresh fries. Roll them in a cinnamon and sugar mixture and bake them for 8
to 10 minutes in a preheated 400 F oven. Serve with a side of
strawberry preserve as fake ketchup.
What a fun lunch.
Fool everyone in the family with these fun dinner and desert ideas.
They won’t believe you are actually serving cake for dinner and spaghetti
for dessert.
Cherry Cake or Meatloaf?
Your Family will be in for a big surprise with this meatloaf cake.
Prepare your favorite meatloaf and bake it in two 9-inch cake pans.
Reduce the cooking time from what you would usually cook it since the
meatloaf cake is thinner.
While the meatloaf cakes are baking, prepare some creamy mashed
potatoes. Spread a layer of mashed potatoes on one of the cakes and top it
with the second one. Use the remaining mashed potatoes to “frost” your
cake. Cut a few cherry tomatoes in half and use them to decorate the top.
Serve Spaghetti as Dessert
Since your serving cake for dinner, it only makes sense to eat
spaghetti for dessert.
Put a slice of pound cake on a plate. Spoon some softened ice cream in
a pastry bag with a thin round tip. Pipe the ice cream over the pound
cake in a swirly motion to resemble spaghetti noodles. Freeze for about
15-20 minutes to allow the ice cream to harden back up. Top with
strawberry jam as tomato sauce and a few coconut flakes to resemble Parmesan
cheese.
Don’t Forget the Drinks
Meals like these deserve a fun twist on a beverage as well. Prepare
some lemon Jello and pour it into glasses. Add a straw and let it set. It
will look just like a glass of lemonade. You can even decorate the
glass with a slice of lemon.
Have fun with these creative April Fool’s recipes this April 1st. They
are sure to make your family smile. Enjoy!
