All my kids love using a knife. It makes them feel all grown up, but there are a few things that I do to make sure they are safe. First, all my knives are very dull. I never let them use a sharpened knife. Next, I make sure they are standing on a sturdy surface and am right next to them just in case something happens.

Easy Fruit Salsa Recipe

This recipe is so easy, the trick is to cut the fruit into small pieces. I usually cut down the whole fruit into manageable pieces for my daughter to finish into little squares. However, the strawberries and kiwi are soft enough for her to do on her own. I think see was concentrating pretty hard while she was cutting everything. How about you?

Apple, Mango, and strawberries make up the majority of this salsa, but you can use any combination of fruit and I think it would be good. For tart fruit, you may need to add more jam or extra sugar.

To serve, we usually make cinnamon tortilla chips in the oven. Those are good even alone! Combined them with this salsa and people will rave about them!
