DIY Edible Arrangement

Too hot to bake for Jake's last day of school treat and he's always wanted one of these arrangements.   I knew I could make it cheaper, plus could give him the chocolate covered fruit/treats that I knew would be nut safe.

What you need to make a DIY Edible Arrangement

small cabbage
Grapes
Honeydew and cantaloupe
watermelon
Bananas
Pineapple
strawberries
semisweet chocolate chips
Marshmallows
Oreo and graham cracker crumbs
Sprinkles
Sand pail
Skewers

I started with a sand pail and dropped a small head of cabbage into the bottom.     I placed the skewers where I wanted them and then prepped the pineapple.   I tossed the cut-up banana in with the pineapple chunks, the juice kept them from browning for quite a while.  I took advantage of the salad bar to get precut chunks of honeydew and cantaloupe.     

I used a cookie cutter to make the watermelon star, but the rest I just chunked up.      I chocolate dipped strawberries and also marshmallows, which I rolled into Oreo crumbs, graham cracker crumbs and sprinkles and let them set up in the freezer.       Slid everything onto the skewers and stored the bucket in the fridge until he got home.

Strawberry Pizzelles

Pizzelles are one of my favorite childhood cookies and I'm constantly looking for ways to put a new spin on them.  Since one of my favorite summer fruits is strawberries, I swapped out the vanilla in the original recipe with strawberry extract. 

Easy Stuffed Waffles with Sweet and Savory Fillings

Stuffed waffles are a fun twist on the classic waffle—crispy on the outside and packed with tasty fillings inside. I recently got a stuffed waffle maker, and I’m loving how it turns waffles into little pockets of deliciousness! The best part? You don’t need a strict recipe because this is a perfect “clean out the fridge” meal. Grab whatever leftovers or fillings you have on hand, stuff ’em inside, and waffle away! Here’s what I tried this time, but feel free to get creative and make it your own.
