4 Healthy Harvest Treats ~ Friday Foods

Hi Sweet Friends!
It's October 31st and we celebrate the Harvest. With Trick-Or-Treaters ringing the bell all thru dinner, we planned a nice easy finger foods type dinner that can be eaten on the run. I've come up with some fun treats to try from around the WEB.

1. Rainbow Veggie Pinwheels

∙ Serves 4

• 1 cup Chicken, cooked

  1/2 cup Baby spinach, leaves

• 2/3 cup Whipped cream cheese

Other

1 tablespoon dry ranch powder ((you can also use store bought))

2. Taco Bites

• Taco Chips, the octagon shape
• Low-fat Refried Beans

Place chips on cookie sheet. Top with refried beans and cheese. 
Warm in oven @ 350 for 5-10 mins. These chips fold easier when really warm.
