• A Side of Fresh Fruit

    Fresh fruit is always a hit at our house.  The girls love fruit and we try to have a variety in the fridge at all times.  When there’s fruit as a side dish at dinner table we have to make sure the girls eat the rest of their meal before digging into the fruit because they love it so much.

    Having a side of fresh fruit at the dinner table not only add color to the meal but a lot of great nutrition too.  The best part about having a variety a fruit is everyone can pick what they like.  I haven’t found a fruit that the girls didn’t like yet so they usually enjoy a little bit of each one.  My favorite way to serve it is fresh washed (and sliced if needed) without anything on it.  Although, we do have quite a few fruit salad recipes we enjoy too.  What is your favorite fruit to serve at dinner?
