Vanilla-Yogurt Fruit Dip!

http://www.farmboy.ca/images/fruit.jpg

•No touching knives or the stove
•Do not touch any appliances without adult supervision.
•Always wash your hands before handling food.

You’ll be sweet on this vanilla and brown sugar-scented yogurt dip, and it’s sure to help your family get their daily servings of fresh fruit. Berries, bananas, nectarines, melon, and mixed fruit go wonderfully with this delightful dip.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (250 mL) plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons (30 mL) brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (5 mL) vanilla extract
  • Fruit slices, sections, chunks or whole berries

Cooking Instructions

  1. Place a paper coffee filter in a small strainer or filter holder set over a cup or bowl. Spoon the yogurt into the filter and let drain, refrigerated, for one hour (or more). This will drain out some of the liquid for a richer and more creamy dip. The longer you drain, the thicker the yogurt becomes. (You can omit this step if you’re in a hurry — the dip won’t be quite so thick but will still taste delicious.)
  2. Dump drained yogurt into a small bowl. Add the brown sugar and vanilla, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
  3. Serve with desired fruit.

Servings: Makes about 2 servings.

How younger siblings can help

Stir the sugar and vanilla into the yogurt.
Prepare and arrange the fruit for dipping

One-Pot Pasta With Chicken And Mushrooms!

http://www.dailyunadventuresincooking.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/cream_mushroom_chicken_pasta.jpg

•No touching knives or the stove
•Do not touch any appliances without adult supervision.
•Always wash your hands before handling food.

This is a delicious and quick one-pot wonder. If you want, you can use herb and garlic seasoned diced tomatoes instead of the plain kind – but omit the basil in the recipe and save yourself a step when making this wonderful One-pot pasta with chicken and mushrooms recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable or olive oil
  • 1 lb (500 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch (2 cm) chunks
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1.5 cups (375 mL) sliced mushrooms
  • 1 can (28-oz.798 mL) diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup (250 mL) water
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) dried basil
  • 2 cups (500 mL) smallish pasta, such as shells, bow ties, fusilli or elbows
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
  • black pepper to taste

Cooking Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken chunks and cook, stirring, for 5 to 7 minutes or until just beginning to brown. With a slotted spoon, remove chicken chunks to a bowl leaving the as much of the oil behind in the pan as possible.
  2. Add the onion and mushrooms to the pot and cook until softened – 5 to 7 minutes. Add the tomatoes, water and basil, bring to a boil, then stir in the uncooked pasta. Cover with a lid, lower the heat to medium low and cook for about 10 minutes or until the pasta is tender but not mushy, stirring once in a while. Drain any excess water.
  3. Return the chicken to the pan, and cook for about 3 minutes, until the mixture is completely heated through. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Servings: Makes about 4 servings.
