Polar Bear Snack
We frequently eat cottage cheese with pears for lunch at our house. Canned fruit is a staple at our house in the winter when fresh fruit is expensive. This recipe adds a little bit of fun to a familiar food. Raisins are a choking hazard for children less than 1 year of age, be sure your child can chew and swallow raisins before serving them.
