The Kids Cook Monday!

This weekend we made our favorite fruit snack to take to a friend’s house…Rainbow Fruit Sticks!  Between 8 of us this huge platter was gone in minutes!!!!  These are so easy to make and they’re always a hit

Rainbow Fruit Sticks

All you need is a collection of colourful fruit and some skewers!  This is a great recipe to work on with your kids!  They can help with washing the fruit, cutting the fruit (if they have some knife skills!) and putting the fruit on the skewers!  We put ours on in a rainbow pattern so that makes it fun to follow the pattern! We like to use: Raspberries, Cantaloupe, Pineapple, Honeydew Melon & Blackberries to give the skewers a nice rainbow effect!

1. Wash your fruit and let dry a little so that they are easy to work with.
2. Arrange your fruit and skewer them in the same order.
3. Display your Rainbow Fruit Sticks on a platter and get ready for the compliments!

This week we also had the huge honour of guest blogging on the Dani Spies site (which is one of my favorites sites go check it out and I know it will become one of your favorites too!) http://www.danispies.com/ we made a colourful Eggplant Tomato Zucchini Gratin (thanks to our friend Marina for coming over and joining us in the kitchen)!  Dani has a section on her site called Kidbites that has lots of great recipes that everyone in your family will enjoy.

Happy Healthy Eating!
