Summer fruit recipes from All You magazine

Have you had the chance to check out All You, the magazine available at Walmart stores nationwide? I enjoy it because it gives you practical and affordable information on beauty, home decorating and fashion as well as smart health advice.

It’s also a terrific bargain due to the savings you gain by using the high-value coupons in it. The June 2011 issue of All You contains $91.60 worth of coupons on products like Kraft’s Jet-Puffed Marshmallows (perfect for s’mores!), Blue Bunny Ice Cream, and Skinny Cow.

However, I especially like All You for their wonderful seasonal recipes that take advantage of what’s on sale at Wal-Mart and your local grocery store, like these fruit kebabs with a yogurt dipping sauce. These are perfect for parties – just stick them on a decorative tray or in a pretty bowl.

Fruit kebabs are also a good way to get the kids to eat more healthy fruits – nothing’s more fun than food on a stick, especially if you get to dip them in sauce!

Have fun this summer and experiment with fruit and other recipes from All You magazine!
