Valentine's Day!
© Donna Smith
Here are a few wonderful recipes to make with your child!
Strawberry Salsa
Strawberry Salsa? Though it sounds a bit odd, it is actually delicious!
1 pint fresh strawberries, diced
3 small tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 small onion, diced fine
1 jalapeno, optional if making for kids
Juice of 1 lime
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon oil
Combine everything in a bowl and chill for at least 2 hours before serving. Serve with tortilla chips.
Cinnamon Popcorn
Delicious!
8 quarts popped popcorn
1 cup margarine
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 package Red Hot candies
In a saucepan combine the margarine, corn syrup and candies. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. (Parents should do this!) Pour this mixture over the popcorn and mix well. Pour the popcorn onto greased cookie sheets and bake at 250 degrees F for about 1 hour. Cool and break into pieces.
Glazed Fruit Salad
A healthy alternative on Valentine's Day!
1 quart fresh strawberries, halved
1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks, drained
1 apple, peeled and chopped
3 firm bananas, sliced
1 pouch (16 ounces) strawberry glaze
Mix everything together and chill until ready to serve.
Jell-O Jigglers
Make Jell-O Jigglers as directed on the package using either cherry, raspberry or strawberry flavor Jell-O. Cut out hearts using a heart-shaped cookie cutter. Serve with whipped cream for a fun Valentine's Day snack.
