Kids in the Kitchen -- Fruit Palm Tree & Yummy Yogurt Dip

Today was the Kids in the Kitchen summer cooking class set up through Abilene Parks and Recreation. In addition to a variety of tortilla based dishes, the kids also played with their fruit -- their variation of the fruit palm tree is on the right. The original guide (that I found on Facebook)  is also posted below, along with a few other pics from the day.

Fruit Palm Tree

2 to 3 Kiwi, peeled & cut into sections

2 Bananas, cut into chunks & dipped in some type of citrus juice (orange, lemon, etc.)

1 to 2 Oranges or Tangerines, peeled & divided into chunks

1. Wash and prepare fruit as specified above; to keep bananas from turning brown after cutting, dip cut pieces in lemon or orange juice, or brush pieces with juice.
2. Arrange fruit as shown in picture.

Yummy Yogurt Dip

1 cup vanilla or plain flavored yogurt

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir or whisk. 
2. Taste and add more brown sugar (might need it if using plain yogurt) if needed.
