Fruit Kabobs

This is one of my favorite snacks. Very simple and easy. Just cut your favorite fruit and spear on a kabob stick. Then dip it in lemon flavored yogurt. Yum!!

Spiced Fruit Parfait

After a bit of a stressful evening I needed something sweet. I looked into the fridge, saw the fresh fruit and decided to throw myself together a parfait. Here's what I ended up with.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup diced fresh pineapple
2 kiwi fruit
3/4 cup diced fresh strawberries
1 tbsp. lime juice
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ginger
1 tbsp. brown sugar
cool whip
I tossed the diced fruit with the spices, sugar and lime juice. Then I layered the fruit and the cool whip in a wine glass. This recipe made 4 small servings.


Carlee Ann loved it! She ate every last bite.

Peach Crisp


I've always loved peach crisp, especially if it's made with fresh peaches. Canned peaches just are not the same. This is a great dessert to warm up with on a cold night.

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups sliced peaches (about 4 medium)
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 1/3 cup margarine or butter, softened
  • 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp ground nutmeg

Preparation:

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Arrange peaches in greased square pan, 8x8x2 inches. Mix remaining ingredients; sprinkle over peaches.


Bake until topping is golden brown and peaches are tender, about 30 minutes. Serve warm and if desired, with cream or ice cream. 6 servings.
