Tasty Snack For The Kids After School !

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night  wherever you are in your day , I hope you're smiling .. kind of hard , but keep trying .
When your kids get back from school aren't they always hungry ? I know most young ones immediately ask for a bag of crisps , cookies and other unsuitable snacks . Yes it's easy to pass them the crisps ( chips ) but it's unhealthy unless , like me you only eat them twice a month . Why do I even bother to be healthy and eat well and exercise .. I certainly don't want too !! But I have always eaten healthy all my life so I unfortunately can't change my habits . I remember the first time I tasted Cola I was about 19 years old , it tasted so horrid , I don't drink it and I don't crave  it either ! Water was what my parents gave me and although we had squash at home it was mainly kept for guests so I just drank loads of tea and water . My children can hardly believe me but it's true !
So here's an idea for  a quick snack . The kids will love it , when they get home from school . It's cheap quick and easy and  I promise with the fruit it's sweet and so delicious added bonus it's healthy to boot !

Pineapple skewers with mint sugar .

You could make the mint sugar on a free day and store it in a jar away in the cupboards for anytime you need to use it .
Ingredients

A can of tinned pineapple
A couple of mint leaves about 20 to a kilo of sugar you can bottle it and use later .
Sugar

Get your can of pineapples opened . Cut it into wedges and thread it on to a skewer .
Make the mint sugar by blending the sugar and the mint leaves in a food processor until well blended and is a lovely green colour .
Into the whipped cream add the cinnamon powder and put in a small bowl to serve at the side of the skewers .
Get the pineapple skewers sprinkle a little bit of sugar and let it grill in the oven for a couple of minutes . Add some more sugar and serve with the cinnamon cream .
