Add to Recipe BoxCenterpiece Snacking: More Flag Food Fun
Although I'm posting a few US themed ideas for letter-U week, I'm grateful for Carlyn pointing out yesterday that you can modify these for Canada Day on Friday! Great idea Carlyn!
This centerpiece (seen originally as a fruit platter) was fun for the kids to both make and eat! You can add it to your holiday décor and put a little fruit dip on the side. Great healthy appetizer BBQ alternative to potato chips!
We used:
- Blueberries
- Bananas
- Strawberries
- Fruit Dip
Did you know: Blueberries can improve memory! 3 months of eating blueberries daily showed to improve test scores on two different cognitive tests. (source)

Flags are my favorite thing to show around the summer and these are perfect. How did you get them to stand in the holder? It looks to pretty to eat.

[...] Taco Salad is a great way to get the kids cooking. They'll love helping out by layering the chips, sprinkling the shredded cheese, dotting the "star" black beans and creating cherry tomato stripes! [...]
