Fun Fruit Pizza

The cold, winter weather keeps many of us inside and that can lead to some “bored” children left inside with nothing to do.  How about getting in the kitchen?  This can be fun for the whole family, and Mom will really appreciate the extra help at snack time.  A fruit pizza is the perfect snack.  It is really fun, and easy to make.

Fruit Pizza

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

1 cup packed brown sugar

½ cup creamy peanut butter

Rice cakes, or oatmeal cakes

Assorted fruits:  Strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, seedless grapes, mandarin oranges, apples, pears, etc.

 How to Make It

1.       Combine cream cheese, brown sugar, and peanut butter in mixing bowl; mix well.
2.       Spread over rice or oatmeal cakes.  Arrange fruit on top of cream cheese and peanut butter mixture.

I hope you enjoy your fruity snack and stay warm.  Scout

A Look Back At 2012

I have to say that I had a great 2012.  The start and the completion of the play was a dream come true.  Because of the production, I was able to meet so many wonderful people who enjoyed my story enough to help it come to life.  The support from all of my friends and the community was wonderful.  I feel truly blessed, and for that I want to say Thank you.  Lots of Love…Scout
