Fish Egg

Packing lunches for your children has never been so much fun. With all sorts of wonderful tools to enhance the appearance of your child's food and whimsical ways to pack their lunches, your child will eagerly eat their protein, vegetables, and fruits. Theme lunches are amusing and delightful: perhaps an egg molded to look like a fish, goldfish crackers,  and blueberries to resemble the deep blue sea.  Your children will no longer come  home with their lunch untouched or tell you they threw it away.

This foolproof method will ensure that you have bright-yellow yolks with no darkened edges, which is a sign that the eggs have been overcooked: Place the eggs in a small saucepan, cover with cold water,  and place over high heat. Bring to a boil; cook 1 minute.  Remove from the heat and cover.  Let the eggs stand for 12 minutes. Drain, and place in cold water until cool. Peel.
