I borrowed all these pictures online so you can see all the fruits we bought during testing week. Of course, any one of these are present in our home at any given day, but testing week is special so we "power up" our children inside and out! ;-)
Last night, we celebrated my teen daughter's NHS induction and also it is our younger daughter's testing week, so I grabbed the freshest fruits and veggies to feed them to get them ready for any tests! ;-) I think I don't need any explanation on the following. What do you think? ;-)

Thanks for hosting Tam! I love this meme!
TABLESCAPING IDEA: ("Brain" watches too much Food Network... Thank goodness for that! LOL) For a unique centerpiece, either create a fruit art or "style" your cut or whole fruits. Wash them first! As the guests start to dine, talk about why you chose those fruits (it goes with the menu and dinnerware of course!) then invite them to take some home or have them in lieu of sugary dessert. You'll be a hit for feeding them something pretty and healthy! Make the overall menu healthy with lime ginger grilled salmon or tuna or shrimp and or have ceviche and grilled chicken with steamed veggies!
Congratulations on your daughter's inducation into the honor society! That is an honor that is earned and does not come easily! I am a firm believer in "brain food" too!

First, congratulations Mom, on your daughter's induction into the National Honor Society. That is a BIG DEAL. :-)
ReplyDeleteUgh -- testing week. The scourge of spring in the schools. This too shall pass, and meanwhile, how wise of you to feed them healthy foods this week. Keeps those young sharp brains properly nourished!

You are making me hungry for strawberries. I love them!!! Congrats to your daughter & happy testing (if there is such a thing) to the rest of them.
ReplyDeleteI always feel better after eating that way and you can be sure the kids do to. Much as I love all fruits except papayas I love vegetables more.
