During the wintertime, I have a battle to get fruits into my kids.  Fresh fruits are almost always not an option as my kids tend to like the “good” fruit of summer and fall, and not the grown-in-a-greenhouse crop of winter.  So, I look for ways to get fruity things into my kids without adding a whole bunch of extra sugar.

My boys are always wanting to “help out” in the kitchen.  You know what that translates into: things not going QUITE the way I planned them to go.  However, I have a handful of recipes we fix from time to time that the boys are able to successfully create on their own (or close to it).  This is one of our favorites, and I have modified it for the holidays.  It is an easy yet delicious dish for those holiday gatherings, or just for your family to enjoy.
