Fruity Sticks Recipes

Steps:

• Mix cream cheese, marshmallow creme and milk until smooth. Thread fruit onto 12 skewers. Serve with dip.

Steps:

• Cut pineapple half lengthwise. Cut the half into quarters lengthwise. Cut the quarters into 6 chunks, making 24 pieces. Trim the ends off the orange and remove the peel. Cut the orange into 6 wedges then cut wedges in half across. Stack 8 pieces of pineapple and 3 pieces of orange and 2 strawberries on each 4-inch skewer. Place skewered fruit on shallow dish.
• In a sauce pot combine sugar and water and place over high heat. Add the zests to the sugar. Bring sugar to a simmer, or until the sugar has completely dissolved.
• Remove the citrus infused sugar from heat and pour over the skewers. Let flavors infuse 10 to 15 minutes in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Thread the strawberries, cantaloupe, banana and apple pieces alternately onto skewers, placing at least 2 pieces of fruit on each skewer. Arrange the fruit skewers decoratively on a serving platter.

Steps:

• Place the mixed blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, sliced bananas, yogurt, and sugar into a blender. Cover, and blend until fruit is chunky or smooth, as desired.
• Fill paper cups 3/4 full with fruit mixture. Cover the top of each cup with a strip of aluminum foil. Poke a popsicle stick through the center of the foil on each cup.
• Place the cups in the freezer for at least 5 hours. To serve, remove foil and peel off the paper cup.

Steps:

• We sometimes forget how good the simple things are. This is an easy snack to rustle up and great for getting the kids to eat fruit. Just chop up your kids' favourite fruit and firm cheese and thread the pieces onto cocktail sticks or skewers. Tony's kids all like apples, pears and grapes and love cheddar, but feel free to try your own combinations.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a shallow bowl, mix bread crumbs and seasonings. Place flour and egg in separate shallow bowls. Dip fish in flour to coat both sides; shake off excess. Dip in egg, then in crumb mixture, patting to help coating adhere., Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; spritz with butter-flavored cooking spray. Bake 10-12 minutes or until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, turning once.
