This is an easy way to get kids to eat their veggies. If you want a more fruity taste, exclude the yogurt.

Indian Curry Potato Fries
Tasty fried curried potato cubes make a wonderful accompaniment to many Indian curry dishes. I don’t know that this recipe is authentic in any way, I came up with it making use of what I had around. It turned out great and I got sent to the kitchen to make more. Serve with tamarind chutney for dipping.

Jicama Zebra Fries
Ever wonder what to do when you have too much jicama? Here’s a quick guide to making a quick snack. Best served with barbeque sauce. The stripes on the fries are caused by the moisture escaping the jicama and creating fissures where the starch from the jicama collects and browns.

100% Fruit "Cake"
This cake was a hit with the children and parents at our two-year-old’s birthday party. It is perfect for raw, vegan, gluten/wheat-free, refined sugar-free diets (and children who don’t need sugar!). This cake was inspired by a 100% watermelon cake we had the year before.
Blushing Applesauce
This applesauce is a pretty shade of pale pink because the apples are cooked in their skins.
Ladybugs on a Log
I came up with this variation on Ants on a Log for Thanksgiving because my brother hates raisins. They would also work well for schools or daycares with nut-free rules for snacks and lunches.
4th of July Blast Smoothie
A great drink for kids and adults on the 4th or July or anytime! You can use blueberries instead of blackberries.
Applesauce for the Freezer
There is nothing better than homemade applesauce with hand-picked apples, and it is so easy to do! If you want chunky applesauce, use a potato masher to mash the cooked apples. If you prefer smooth apple sauce, run the cooked apples through a food mill. The key is adding a few strips of lemon peel to the apples while cooking. The lemon heightens the apple flavor. Make sure you use a good cooking apple like Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Fuji, Jonathan, Mcintosh, or Gravenstein. Ready to serve as soon as you’re done, either hot or refrigerated. Delicious with vanilla ice cream or vanilla yogurt. Freezes easily, lasts up to one year in a cold freezer.
