Strawberry Recipes for Kids: Easy as Pie
I have a hard time getting my kids to eat different fruits. They normally stick to the same three - bananas, apples and grapes. So, I am always searching for desserts and other recipes that use fruit to try to get them to try it. I know it is probably backwards to offer them a sweet dessert, but honestly it is one of the only ways that I can get them to try a new fruit! My recent quest was to find strawberry recipes for kids and since I am not the best in the kitchen I stuck to an easy strawberry pie. Below you will find my ingredients and instructions for you to make this recipes too!
