Birthday Party Fruit Cake
Of course all I had to do was use:
- 2-4 pineapple rings (from a can)
- watermelon cut into rings
- small slice of banana (to hold the candle)
- 1 candle
Adorable, right? I got the idea from Produce for Kids, who right now has a bunch of easy recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks; all using produce of course! These “Ideal Meals” are part of a new campaign to help kids eat healthy, as well as donate money to the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Between May and July, by purchasing produce at participating stores, a portion of your money will be donated to local children’s hospitals.
Other produce for kids recipes I like include:
- The party cake I made
- Super Duper Oatmeal Pancakes
- Veggie Frittata and Raspberry Plum Yogurt Parfait
- Peach and Tomato Salsa
…and tons of more delicious fruits and veggie ideas that your kids will love!

Thank you for sharing this site! I saw tons of great ideas. I particularly loved the Zesty Pasta Salad recipe and am going to make it to take in my cooler to a convention next weekend!
the guacamole tomato boats look so fun! my twins just love anything that they can help mash up and if it is green all the better!
Yum!! What a bunch of great ideas! I would try the veggie polenta pizza!!

The turkey burgers and rainbow salad is my favorite dinner idea, or at least the first one I think I would try.
Sweet and Savory Poppers! My kids would love them
Fruity Vanilla Oatmeal sounds Yum. And what is it about having fruit on a stick anyway? LOL Kids love it.
I want to try the A-B-C dip.
smoothie pops. Everything is better on a stick, right?
This is awesome! Not only do they supply with a healthy food item but then give you sides to put with it! Love it! I am always looking for a healthier option to PIZZA! (We would eat for every meal at my house.) So I would definately have to say the Pita Pizz-Ahhh!
I love the idea of the guacamole tomato boats. We love avocados here!
I want to try that peach and tomato salsa!! I love to add salsa to my meals!
I am a big snacker. I can’t go more than 2 hrs without eating, so I have to be thoughtful about my snacks to ensure a healthy day of eating. I think that making smoothie pops would be a great summer treat! or dessert 🙂
I am going to make pizz-ahhh this weekend when friends come for memorial day!!!!
I’ve been meaning to try the turkey veggie “sushi” — it looks delicious.
The Southwest chicken wraps for the lunchbox faves look great.
There are too many to choose from! I like the tangy grilled chicken or the easy cheesy tomato sandwich!

The apple pumpkin muffins sound great!
All of them look delicious. Thank you for sharing the site! Since my husband recently went deep sea fishing and we now have a bunch of fish chopped up in the freezer, I would have to say that the Orange Salsa Tilapia is one that we will definitely be trying! Mmm!
Thanks for the new site! I am always looking for new recipes to try. I will definitely be trying the PB Fruit Roll Up. My son is on a PB&J kick and I want to change it up a bit.
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing! I would first try Oven Baked Onion Rings & Chicken, since I like feeding my husband healthier versions of the “naughty” foods he likes.

The “Fuel-up French Toast” and “Peach and Tomato Salsa” sound devine.
I’ve got to make that Pita Pizz-Ahhh! I just barely discovered pita bread and my kids have been begging me to buy it again. Now I have a great excuse. Great resource, Amy. Do you think Brian would mind if I served that pineapple ring cake for his birthday next week? 😉
Creamy Chocolate dippers sound like a delicious snack. Easy, too. I usually have all those ingredients in my house.
the sweet and savory poppers look delicious and so simple. even I could do that!
mmmmm….i like the breakfast potatoes recipe because my daughter has to eat gluten free and that really puts a limit on power packed breakfasts without getting into a rut! these would be so tasty…and much fresher than the frozen kind:)
What a great website! I think we’d have to start with something really tempting like the Creamy Chocolate Dippers here!

That grilled veggie panini looks great!
My favorite meal idea is the Turkey Burgers & Rainbow Salad. It looks simple, but still healthy and tasty.

IM loving the cake idea cuz ds can’t have wheat..and so many more but this is quick and healthy substitute at times 🙂
Creamy chocolate dippers. What a great alternative to all those sugar laden fruit dips they sell!

Oh my goodness, so many yummylicious ideas to choose from and try out!!! However, the Greek Penne Pasta with Shrimp really caught my eye. Since my 2 1/2 year old enjoys shrimp, I’m sure he’d love this one, too 🙂
I would love to try those PB rollups. Lunchtime is always a hard challenge for us – dinner is always planned and goes smoothly, but I need quick and easy lunch ideas my kids will eat. I think these PB rollups are it, I may need to modify without PB for my 1 year old though…
I love your healthy cake idea! It looks delish. I’d love to try the Creamy Chocolate Dippers too!
I would love to try to make the Roasted Chicken and Vegetables recipe! Both of my kids love chicken and veggies! What a great website!
