Fifty-Two Dinners

One new recipe a week for a year. That was the original goal set as a New Year's resolution way back in 2009.

It didn't happen. Nor did it happen in the following years.

But I have continued posting and striving to try one new recipe a week. Some months it happens. Some months it doesn't.

And along the way I've picked up readers from across the country who occasionally pop in to see what's cooking.

Clearly there are better food blogs than mine.

But if you're looking for quick, easy, and healthy with a dash of humor... I'm glad to share what I can.

School Snack- Fruite & Cheese Kabobs

I've got to be honest.  Being responsible for snack at preschool once a month is so stressful to me.

It's not as easy as going to the store and buying a box of animal crackers and a carton of milk.  If only.

The stress comes from the restrictive diet that all of the little preschoolers are on.  Snacks are supposed to be nutritious (read: no cookies) and not contain the following ingredients:
eggs
peanuts
peanut butter
tree nuts
red dye number 4... or is it 12?
Mangoes


So that leaves me with what, carrot sticks?

This is the snack we went for today.  I was kind of proud of the mini skewers, even though I resorted to toothpicks when I realized late last night that we didn't have any kabob skewers after all.

So here you have it:

Cheese
Strawberries
Grapes

You could also use blueberries, cantaloupe, pineapple... or whatever else will not fall apart when you stick it with a tooth pick.
If I were a kid in preschool I'd be happier with frosted animal crackers, but that's just me :)
