Today is Martin Luther King Day.

Tributes are taking place across this country and all over the world.

Here’s an easy-to-make dessert from Chapter Two (I’m Special: Helping Your Child Value His Own Strengths and Qualities) of my book that will have your children dreaming sweet dreams.

 

DREAMY FRUIT SALAD

Children love to help in the kitchen.  They acquire skills as they measure and mix ingredients and “read” the recipe.  One of the basic components of developing true self-esteem is mastering tasks and skills.  So why not invite your child to assist you when you make this delicious and nutritious dessert.

You will need: 1 large package vanilla instant pudding, 1½ cups milk, 1 diced apple, 1 peeled navel orange (sectioned), 2 bananas (sliced), ½ cup sliced strawberries, ½ cup blueberries and a large bowl.

1.      Mix instant pudding and milk in a large bowl.  Chill for 10 minutes.

2.      Add diced apple, orange sections, bananas, strawberries and blueberries and mix together gently.

3.      Makes 4 – 6 servings.  Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

4.      Creative tip: use your imagination and substitute different fruits.

    • It tastes pretty good, too…and does have all of those fruits for great nutrition. 🙂 I’m going to try to get back to the Monday recipe again…I think everyone like to have a fresh idea in the kitchen now and then.

  2. Thanks for the recipe, Vivian. It’s simple and easy – and since I don’t have any small children to play with right now, am passing it on to my granddaughters – two of them are new mothers.

    Also, I received the Versatile Blogger Award and have passed it to you. I so admire you and enjoy your blogs. I just posted it on myoprahlessons.com and I understand you can take it from there to your site. I know you’ve had prior awards and you’ll know how to do it but If that doesn’t work for you, let me know and we’ll figure it out. Congratulations!

    • You know…I’m sure that actors and actresses aren’t bothered if they win the Oscar more than once. In the same way, I am thrilled that you have given me the Versatile Blogger Award. I appreciate your kind thoughts…and will finally put it up on my sidebar…if I can figure out how. 🙂
      Thanks for passing along the recipe!
