Fruit Salsa and Cinnamon Chips

This recipe comes from The Pampered Chef.

A friend of mine made it a long time ago, when Kayla was around 8 or 9 months, I think. Kayla loved it. I always said I was going to try to make it and for some reason forgot about it and never did. Then a few days ago when searching new dinner ideas I found the recipe in my email. So, I printed it and when we went grocery shopping I got the stuff to make it. Its so simple to make, not many ingredients, on the healthy side and VERY YUMMY. I vow to make this more often. Especially since its good for the little ones to eat. I couldn't get the camera to focus right on the salsa, but you get the idea.



Cinnamon Chips:
4 (7-inch) flour tortillas (I used 3 8-inch)
1 tbs sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly spray tortillas with water. Combine sugar and cinnamon in flour/sugar. Sprinkle over tortillas. Cut each tortilla into 8 wedges; place in single layer on baking stone, or cookie sheet. Bake 8 minutes or until lightly browned and crisp. Remove to cooling rack.

Salsa:
2 medium apples, 1 cup strawberries, sliced
1 kiwi fruit, peeled and chopped
1 small orange, 2 tbs packed brown sugar (I used light brown) 2 tbs apple jelly

Peel, core and slice apples. Cut apples into quarters and chop. ( I chopped all the fruits fairly small so Kayla can chew easily. She still does not have all her teeth) Slice strawberries. Chop kiwi. Place in bowl. Zest orange and juice orange. Add zest and juice, brown sugar, apple jelly to fruit mixture. Mix gently.

Serve with cinnamon chips.

Pampered Chef's Clubhouse Chicken Squares

This Clubhouse Chicken Squares recipe comes from The Pampered Chef, which of I am a huge fan. I have a kitchen full of The Pampered Chef items!

This recipe is DELISH! And after making it, it sparked come creativity in my little brain because not only can you use these toppings but I thought of making so many other toppings. Almost anything is possible with this. You could do plain pizza toppings, BBQ chicken pizza topping, taco toppings, you could do BLT,turkey, ham...so much.

I took the ingredients to a friends house and we made this for dinner.

This was very easy and very worth it. In fact, Im going to have leftovers for breakfast this morning.

LOL!) 1 tsp dill, 1 can 10 oz chicken drained and flaked, (We used the oscar mayer chicken in the deli section)2 plum tomatoes seeded, diced, 1/2 of a small cucumber, peeled, seeded, diced, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (We love cheese so we used double this amount)
