Veggie Boats
This post is sponsored by Hidden Valley Ranch.
These veggie boats would be great snack foods for a pirate party or even a Columbus Day Party (Nina, Pinta, and the Santa Maria!) All I know is when you turn food into little boats it is makes it a million times more adorable. This concept is pretty simple to execute and you could make it with lots of different vegetables and spreads.
Instructions: Gather veggies and spreads (here we used hummus) and some toothpicks. Hollow out vegetables and cut off the bottoms so they can lay flat. Assemble the boats with toothpicks and sail shapes as desired. And that’s it!

Adorable! I am always looking for ways to get my daughter to eat veggies. She eats an excellent variety, but I am always stumped on how to get her to eat CRUNCHY veggies. Especially if they are green. Only recently she ate a piece of carrot raw. I jumped up and down. Little victories.
hi hi !! super!!!!
Brilliant idea!
So cute, I want to make some for myself! Yummi!
SO clever! My boys are going to love these!
Very cute…will try them sometime! Yumm – love fresh veggies..and of course hummus!

What was used for the sails?
Jicama and cucumbers.

Great work and wonderful pictures!
Fantastic! You could also use other things like eggplants for large boats or whales. Maybe try a dolphin out of jicama. Great idea and beautiful pictures. That video is brilliant. Was stop motion used, or another method? This blog is lovely, I enjoy every post. I must also say that your boys are charming. I felt like I was in Paris with you. While I am sure you miss it, I have heard only the best things about San Francisco. I wish you continued happiness.
oh my goodness! my sons made pirate ships out of food at a family party! they had meat as the sails! these are somwhat cuter! xx
