Fruit Salad

Yes, this is a no-brainer...but I didn't discover it until my clever sister-in-law showed me.

Any fruit, chopped (can use canned or fresh)
Any flavor yogurt

I usually use:
apples
oranges
bananas
strawberry yogurt

Chop fruit to bite sized pieces. Combine in bowl. Cover with desired amount of yogurt. Mix and chill.

My kids wouldn't eat fruit salad 'cause, "All the fruit is touching - and the taste is all mixed". Even though they would eat the same fruit separately. Once the yogurt is added they love it - plus the fruit doesn't look brown.

Grilled Zucchini & Squash

This is probably a no-brainer, but thought I'd include it for those who haven't tried it before.

Slice zucchini and squash lengthwise into med-thin slices.
(Usually in half for small squash or 4 times for thicker squash.)

Spray both sides of slices with no-stick cooking oil. - Canola and Olive taste good.
Add salt if desired. (I don't)

Grill each side until tender.

Note:
Can do the same thing with potatoes. I add salt to those.
