Red, White and Blue Healthy Treat

This past weekend was Memorial Day Weekend. So in honor of Memorial Day, I just had to make a Red, White and Blue treat for our family BBQ while camping. This treat was super easy to make! Our 6 year old boy, just ate them up! He wanted 3 helpings after our BBQ and even asked for more after dinner the next day.

Ingredients

Blueberries
Strawberries
Bananas
Skewers

*Cut up the banana and strawberries (if you would like). Place on skewers with Blueberries.

Homemade Spaghetti/Pizza Sauce

Last Tuesday, I shared with you a pizza recipe, so today I am sharing with you a homemade spaghetti/pizza sauce. This was my first time EVER making a homemade sauce and it was SO simple! I will never buy store bought sauces again. There was enough sauce to use on the pizza and two nights worth of spaghetti dinners. Did I mention it was super good and simple?

Give it a try! :)
