DIP IT
FISH IN A POND
1/2 cup
low-fat cream cheese or cheese spread
Fish-shaped crackers
4 celery ribs, stems removed
Scoop the
cream cheese into a bowl. (You can tint the cream cheese with blue food coloring
to make it look like a pond.) Place the goldfish in a separate bowl. Let the
kids dip the celery sticks into the cheese, then into the bowl of crackers to
"catch" a fish. Serves 2.
APPLE FONDUE
1/2 cup
low-sugar, low-fat chunky peanut butter
1/4 cup crispy rice cereal
1/8 cup raisins
2 green apples, cut into wedges
Mix the peanut
butter, cereal and raisins in a small bowl. Let the kids dip the apple wedges
into the thick peanut butter mixture. If you prefer to thin it, melt the peanut
butter in the microwave first, then add the cereal and raisins and serve warm.
Serves 2.
SAY CHEESE
Heat your
favorite cheese spread or cheese (try cheddar or Brie) in a glass bowl in the
microwave until just melted. Be sure to watch it closely: cheese melts fast.
Offer the kids a variety of snacks to dip into it, such as pretzel sticks, apple
wedges, grapes, breadsticks or carrot sticks and other cut-up veggies.
