 |

Helpful Hints:
|
Pita pockets are also called Kangaroo bread or pocket bread. After cutting the round, flat bread in half, you can separate the layers and open up a pocket. The pocket is perfect for filling with different sandwich ingredients.
Look for different types of yogurt: fruit flavored, plain, low fat or nonfat. Check the “sell by” date for freshness. Yogurt is a high-calcium dairy food and a great way to get the calcium you need, especially if you don’t drink much milk. This recipe calls for only a small amount of flavored yogurt, so serve the rest of the carton at snack time or as a dip.

Safety Tip:
|
Remind children to wash their hands with soap and water before and after handling food. Because children practice what they see, let them see you washing your hands often!
