I have found that making kabobs are a lifesaver in the kid friendly food department! The boys get excited when we make them! So we tried a new variety today!! French toast bites and fruit!! We don't add any extra butter or sugar to the bites, the fruit is our added treat and the kids love them! While I don't always have fresh fruit on hand I do always keep frozen fruit. I get a little something extra too! I'll show you! Don't these look so yummy! Now, I use frozen fruit so I have to first thaw my fruit to get it on the kabobs (in case you missed the last post with the fruit kabobs- those are again dry spaghetti noodles in place of skewers). I thaw my fruit in water, it takes about a minute or two. The strawberries can take about 5 mins. I then take my fruit infused water and we have a tasty drink. The berry water can still be a bit tart for the kids, so sometimes I'll cut it with a little lemonade. We end up getting the most out of our juice and cutting down the sugar our kids get. I haven't gotten my kids to *love* the water infusions by themselves but with a touch of juice or lemonade they are a hit. This is my blueberry infused water! It does look dark in this light but it isn't quite as strong as it appears. Coming soon I will have a whole post on our summer drink recipes! We've been experimenting with mocktails, water infusions, and lots of refreshing concoctions!
