Week THREE: Recap!

It was blazing hot today in Chicago, and we cooled off with banana popsicles and watermelon parfaits. We also made a pasta bake for our main dish, and I think the class would agree when I say... this was one of our tastiest dishes ever!

BAKED PASTA:
This is a great, easy meal that the whole family will enjoy. We even added a little extra cheese just for fun -- so tasty!

WATERMELON SMOOTHIE:
Although our recipe called to blend the watermelon smoothie ingredients together, due to a blender malfunction we got creative and layered them into a parfait instead! This was an unexpected, but equally tasty, way to enjoy the cool sorbet and tasty fruits.

BANANA POPSICLES:
Banana popsicles are super easy to make, and there are so many fun ways to decorate them! We decorated ours with sprinkles after covering them in semi-sweet chocolate. Most of our Taste Buddies class had eaten most of their popsicles before we even put them in the freezer. Chocolate-covered faces nodded their approval of this fun summer treat. In lieu of sprinkles, try other toppings like nuts, cookie or candy crumbs, etc. You can also swap the semi-sweet chocolate for white chocolate.
