5/ Fruit  Kebabs {we add cheese for protein}
We usually save these for special occasions..

Ingredients
Cheese, sliced about ½ inch thick
Fruit slices
Wooden skewers

Directions
If using wooden or bamboo skewers, make sure all the splinters are off of them by rolling two together in your hands, or rub them over each other, as if you are sharpening a knife.
Cut the fruit that is not already small into 1-inch, or bite-size, chunks.
Slide fruit on
* this is an easy task for young kids.

 6/ Sweet Potato Fries

Ingredients
Sweet Potatoes
Sunflower or coconut Oil
Salt
Cinnamon

Directions

1. You may keep the skin on or off. Cut the potatoes in fry shaped pieces that are relatively similar in size.
2. Lightly coat with some sunflower oil, salt and cinnamon.
3. Preheat oven to 450F. Cook’s choice to line or not to line your baking sheet with foil or parchment paper...I don't.
4. Preheat your baking sheet for several minutes before putting the potatoes on it.
5. Place potatoes evenly spaced on the baking sheet and cook for 15-20 minutes, flip the fries and cook for about 10 minutes more.
6. Remove from the oven when they are golden brown, crispy and cooked all the way through.
