Creative Cucumbers

 Sick of eating the same old vegetables, the same old way? Well, you don't have to. Slice 'em and dice 'em up differently and bring out the artist in you. Be a creative cucumber, or stylish squash or sweet pepper!

3. Neatly arrange the veggies on your tray.
4. Enjoy!

Apple Dippers

I love apples. Granny Smith are my favorite kind of apple. And I love peanut butter. Skippy^® Reduced Fat Creamy Peanut Butter is my favorite brand. Put these two things together for a yummy morning or afternoon snack!
