 QUICK TIPS of the MONTH
Healthy Holiday Snack
Tempt your children (and friends and family too!) with fun and colorful snacks this holiday season. Here's a quick one to get you started.
Pita Tree Wedges
Ingredients
4 flavored or plain pita folds or pita (pocket) breads (about 6 inches in diameter)
16 thin pretzel sticks, halved
1 cup guacamole
1/4 cup very finely chopped red bell pepper
Directions
1. Cut each pita fold into 8 wedges. Insert pretzel stick half into center of bottom of each wedge to
form "tree trunk."
2. Spread about 1 teaspoon guacamole on each pita wedge.
3. Blot bell pepper with paper towel to remove excess moisture. Sprinkle about 1/4 teaspoon bell
pepper on each wedge or arrange to form a garland. If desired, cover and refrigerate up to 8 hours
before serving.
