The weekend is finally here and we can't wait! Our Christmas traditions are in full swing. We've gone to see the lights at Hartwood Acres and the whole family ooh-ed and aaawww-ed. It was awesome. Next comes the cookie baking, card making and more decorating. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year.
Our main entree is turkey and cheese skewers. We had the most delicious deep fried turkey breast at Thanksgiving so we had to get another one for this week. Deep fried seems like it wouldn't be a healthy option but it is 98% fat free, all white meat turkey and again, delicious. We cut the turkey into cubes and skewered it with plastic lollipop sticks along with a colby jack cheese stick that had been cut into cubes as well. We have a little bit of honey mustard on the side for dipping. We also added some Cheez-It crackers so that Molly can have a few carbs to burn off quickly.
Our vegetable side is green pepper strips. This was by request again. Sometimes kids get stuck on one particular food and the pepper is it for Molly these days.
Our fruit side is a tangerine. We segmented it for Molly so that she wouldn't have to waste any time at lunch. Something about orange-like citrus screams Christmas. We used to always stud oranges with whole cloves and leave them out in several rooms of the house to make it smell good.
Finally, our NEW Fun Friday treat is Cinnamon M&Ms. We reluctantly purchased these when the kids asked because they didn't sound all that appetizing. They really enjoyed them though. The cinnamon is not a hot cinnamon, it's more like the powdered stuff in the pantry. It is a mild hint of it with a good chocolate flavor. If you like cinnamon, give them a try but I wouldn't recommend eating them on a regular basis, just a special occasion.
