Fruit Salsa and Homemade Cinnamon Chips

I just made this on Sunday for a baby shower and it was a hit!! It's usually my "go-to" recipe for showers when we're looking for something with fruit but different!

 

I got this recipe from Pampered Chef! (I LOVE their products!)

 

 

Ingredients needed:

2 Granny Smith Apples

1 Pint Strawberries

2 Kiwis

1 Orange

2 Tbsp packed brown sugar

2 Tbsp apple or apricot jelly

 "safe" Tortillas

Water (or safe melted butter/cooking spray)

Sugar and Cinnamon mix

 

 

Peel the apples and kiwi.  Dice up all the fruit and place into a bowl.  Zest 1 tsp of the orange onto the fruit.  In a seperate bowl juice the orange to equal 2 Tbsp.  Then add in the brown sugar and jelly.  Stir until mixed.  Add to fruit.  Store in fridge.

 

Cinnamon Chips

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Cut the torillas into strips or triangles and arrange a single layer onto a pan.  Sprinkle with water or brush with butter.  Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on top.  Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are slightly crispy!!

Hang in there for the Holidays

The holidays are HERE!!!  Our Christmas tree is up.  The cards are sent out.  We've even made a few treats!!

Last year, I remember thinking....How in the world am I going to do this (without any allergens)?  Pass up the chocolate fudge, the rolls, the butter. 

Well,I found some good substitutes and just held my head up high as I passed up on several foods that were "contaiminated" =)

Hang in there. 

 

It's hard but YOU CAN DO IT!!!
