You Capture - Fruit

This weekly challenge is fruit over at Beth's blog. While we have several varieties of fruit at our house and in several forms (frozen, fresh and canned) I have to admit I wasn't too inspired by this week's challenge. Maybe it's because I've been incredibly busy. Don't ask me with what, because it seems like I have very little to show for all my hours of work. Which is pretty disappointing, come to think about it, so I won't think about it. At any rate, here's my single lonely submission of fruit:

More fruit, please!

My kids seem to be going through a boycott of anything healthy lately...which is ironic since I've been eating better and setting a better example. I have a real problem getting the older one to eat veggies and fruits. It seems like the only thing he ever wants is hot dogs and mac 'n cheese.

Both boys, however, LOVE pizza. So I made fruit pizza. Yum!



What I did was take a full-size whole grain bagel and sliced it into two. I think this would have worked great with the mini bagels too, but I didn't have any in the pantry. Then I topped the bagel with a thin layer of Nutella, and topped with fruit. I used strawberries and bananas as our toppings, but I think that any fruit would be great (especially kiwi and grapes thinly sliced). The boys LOVED these. I don't think they realized that it was even fruit, which they normally shy away from. They loved eating their pizzas.

Do you have any tricks for sneaking in fruits and veggies in your kids' diets?
