Quick Apple Turnovers


These are super simple and very yummy! The kids loved them just as much as the chocolate croissants I posted earlier!

Ingredients:
1 can refrigerated crescent rolls
1/2 cup apple pie filling
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 Tbsp milk

Directions:
1. Preheat oven according to directions on crescent roll package.
2. Unroll all 8 crescent rolls, and top 4 of them with little bit of apple pie filling. You can't put too much in or else they leak out. You can put about 3-5 pieces of apple in each one.
3. Place each of the other 4 rolls over top of the apple ones, and press the sides so the seams are sealed. A little will ooze out, but that's ok!
4. Bake according to directions on package, about 12-20 minutes, until golden brown.
5. In medium size bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk. Add more sugar if necessary to make a nice icing consistency.
6. Drizzle icing over cooked turnovers.

Breakfast Banana Splits






I found this idea online, somewhere, and the kids love...no, they LOVE LOVE LOVE this for breakfast now! They are super easy, totally healthy, and the kids think they are super special treats!
You can mix and match these however suits your kids. We've done with bananas/grapes/strawberries and we've done bananas/grapes/blueberries, bananas/mandarin oranges so far. The kids love them all!

Ingredients:
Vanilla yogurt (or you could use a different flavor) - about 1 small container per banana split, but I buy the big vanilla containers
fruit of your choice
granola
marachino cherries (if desired)

Directions:
1. Cut fruit into bite size pieces.
2. Layer fruit, yogurt, and granola. I usually do fruit/yogurt/granola/fruit/yogurt/granola/cherry.
3. Enjoy!
