 This is a cute & lovable recipe to let someone know you care. What I call love cups is basically a cake with toppings upside down in a cup. With fruit on the top.

All you will need:

  • Desired cake
  • Rainbow sorbet
  • Fruits . Bananas &blueberries
  • Tube and cup of icing
  • LOVE
  • Cookie cutter

This is real easy to make and fun to.  For starters bake your kids favorite cake , red devil , chocolate ,white or vanilla. As it cools, take a cookie cutter to cut out circles so it can fit into the cups.  As for which cups to use it’s really up to you. For my kids I use Correll cups,for parties paper cups.  Now at the bottom of the cup ,I put a blue icing ,the tube kind, and a one spoon full of vanilla frosting. Then add the cookies cut cake on top. With a teaspoon of rainbow sorbet and fresh slice of banana,and blueberries on top. Then that it. So delicious.

And this is also a little trick to get your kids to eat fruit before cake and other junk. Also the cake that you cutted is small compare to a slice of cake. Best of both. Enjoy!

This is something to keep your taste buds full of excitment’ fruit on a stick. Take a group of fruits of  your choice  and cheese place in great order through a stick and enjoy. This is very healthy and gives such a refreshing and satisfaction. I came across this idea the other day when I was preparing a snack tray for my daughter friends . I forgot to pick up some more crackers and crutons,which her friends like to eat more than anyone in my office, so I decided  to give what I have. I pulled out some fruits and cheese and some deli slices of meats. But be sure to add onto in a taste bud order or the taste wouldn’t blend.

One kababe stick  I place lime slices ,kiwi,and strawberry. Stick two; mango slices, melon and  nectarines. Stick 3 my favorite; strawberries, salami ,mild cheddar cheese,nectarines and mango.

This you can either used a toothpick or kababe or a plastic fork. As long its well put together it’ll be delicious. My kids friends  enjoyed it On says the  one I called my favorite taste more like a pizza to her. Cool!

 Hope you give it a try

Refreshing!   1 comment

Now that the weather is getting warmer here are several delights to enjoy. I figured after this strange and harsh weather we’ll appreciate  spring ahead. And at the same time ,keep the last holidays weight off.

Fresh ginseng and Chamomile fruit smoothie. Boil a pot of water with Chamomile and ginseng tea,. In a blender  pour a cup of fresh fruit. I prefer strawberries,raspberries,slices of peaches. Then add the cool down tea blend for three seconds. Add Splenda or other alternative sweeteners,  lots of ice chop and spree . By then you will have a smooth delicious drink . So refreshing! You can also add different teas. like Red Zinger or even yogurt for a real smoothie texture. I discover this in my kitchen early this week. So many products on the market tries to increase energy. Sometimes it’s not just energy that you need it ‘s rest and calm. After a natural and healthy way to calm your nerves and helps you focus you energy will increase own its own. Remember your body only has the energy of its own push it you lose tomorrow energy and this will eventually cause manic stress.

Cottage Cheese with fruits. Not so unique but ,has a twist. Lite or Part Skim cottage cheese, fresh fruit. I suggests grapes, strawberry,pineapples and papaya that you cut yourself. Cans is not so refreshing. Either or all is great to add to this simple dessert. With a twist of lime adds more a refreshing taste. Yet I wouldn’t eat too much of it. Process old milk products such as cottage cheese and buttermilk will probably churn your stomach after a while.

Now this delight is not a food but it sure refreshing to me. Have you ever bought a dvd that has 4 movies on it. I use sometimes get the double features  but it cool to pay about 5 dollars to get four movies. Even if couple of them might sucks but it ‘s sure beats renting.

I’ll post more fruity delights soon!! Enjoy!
