Hello Everyone! Today I am guest posting at Erin's blog Dinners, Dishes, and Desserts. I have really enjoyed getting to know Erin this last year since we both started our blogs around the same time and we also have sons the same age. So I knew these Patriotic Fruit Skewers were a perfect fun treat for her to make with her son. My son is actually the person that saw these very cute Patriotic Fruit Skewers in a Target circular and asked me to make them. I was more than thrilled to do so because they looked so fun, pretty healthy and a breeze to put together. They will also make a very festive treat for any 4th of July party. My kids loved helping me assemble them and they loved eating them even more. Hope you all enjoy this great idea my son and I saw (thanks to the folks at Target) and make it a part of your 4th of July celebrations as well. So drop by Erin's blog if you haven't been there before and see all the wonderful dinners, dishes and desserts she cooks up. She is one of my favorite blogs to drop by and she will one of yours too.
Ingredients:Watermelon
Blueberries
Strawberries
Large Marshmallows
wood skewers
small star cookie cutter
I will not give you quantities because you can make as many or as few as you like.
Directions:
Slice 1/2 inch thick slices of watermelon and take a star shaped cookie cutter to cut out stars.
Then skewer in order with the blue (blueberries), white(marshmallow), red (strawberry). Use the watermelon stars to separate the red, white and blue pattern and finish off the top of the skewer. Chill or serve immediately. Enjoy.Note: You can cut the strawberries in half if you like.
