2 eggs1 t margarine 2 low-fat cheese slices salt and pepper to taste " target="_blank">here.  Yogurt and Fruit Parfaits 12 oz low fat yogurt (vanilla works great) 1 c low-fat granola or other cereal 1 c mixed berries (fresh or frozen) 1/2 c dried fruits 1/2 c canned crushed pineapple 1/4 c sunflower seeds 1/4 c chocolate chips Your little chefs will love assembling these treats. Mom: Place yogurt plus any combo of the above ingredients into separate bowls, and give each chef a small cup. All chefs: Spoon layers of goodies into their cups and voila--a parfait! (They may need a little help spooning the food and hitting the target. Be prepared for a bit of cleanup with this recipe!) Serves 4.  Crunchy Turkey Sticks 4 slices of deli turkey 1 stalk celery 4 t mustard 4 t mayonnaise Little chefs: Stir mustard and mayo together in a bowl. Mom or big chefs: Cut the celery in half length-wise, then widthwise to make 4 pieces. (Celery cuts well with a plastic knife, if your child has developed some hand-eye coordination.) All chefs: Next, lay the turkey slices flat, and spread sauce on each piece. All chefs: Place the celery stick at one end, and roll it up! Also, try carrots or cucumber sticks instead of celery. Or, try ham or chicken instead of turkey. Serves 4.  Strawberry Skyscrapers1 tub low-fat strawberry cream cheese, soft 9 sheets low fat graham crackers, broken in half (to equal 18 crackers) 1 c fresh strawberries 1 c fresh banana (1 medium) Big chefs: Slice the strawberries with a paring knife. Little chefs: Slice the banana with a plastic knife. Big chefs: Place the cream cheese in a bowl and stir until smooth. All chefs: Frost all 18 graham crackers halves with the cream cheese. Top six graham crackers with strawberries, and six graham crackers with bananas. All chefs: Stack the banana-topped crackers on top of strawberry-topped crackers, then finish them off with the rest of the frosted grahams, cream cheese side down. Enjoy! You'll need to eat over a napkin for this yummy, messy snack. Serves 3 or more. |
