Try these fun treats with the kids this Independence Day!
Pretzel Sparklers
long rod pretzels
white chocolate, melted
sprinkles (red, white and blue) or star cake decorations
Melt the white chocolate. Dip the pretzel rod halfway into the melted
chocolate then sprinkle the sprinkles over the wet chocolate. Lay on waxed
paper or place in a cup to dry.
Blue Layer:
4 cups grape juice
water
blue food coloring
Mix the grape juice and water until a suitable blue color results. Try adding
blue food coloring to achieve the desired shade. Pour into the plastic cups
filling them 1/3 full. Place into the freezer until the start to freeze. Once they
do, stick a craft stick in the center of each cup.
Freeze until solid. Mix the yogurt and whipped topping together. Place a
layer on top of the frozen blue layer, and freeze for one hour. Repeat the
process given for the blue layer but do it with the cran-raspberry juice and red
food coloring. Add a red layer to each cup and freeze until frozen.
Run the outer side of the cups under cold water to release them.

Children's meals have to be easy, delicious and nutritious. Getting kids to eat vegetables is a major task.
Finding a way to get vegetables into the mouths of kids is easy if they are part of the fun. Creating ways to
get kids to help with the preparation and the cooking of kids' recipes is part of the fun.
