Fresh Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Chips: https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/fresh-fruit-salsa-with-cinnamon-chips/
The cinnamon chips are the bomb! A perfect balance to the delicious fruit salsa. Don't worry if you don't have all of the different fruits, or want to mix up the recipe a little bit. Make it your own, experiment with different flavours, and have fun! Have some chips left over? Try this Mexican Chocolate Dip to go with them!
Cheesy Stuffed Baked Potatoes: https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/cheesy-stuffed-baked-potatoes/
Alright, now that we got the fresh and light snacks out of the way, let's delve into some comfort food for a rainy day! Baked potatoes are a timeless classic, and melted cheese just makes everything better. A little sprinkling of paprika really pops against the cheese!
Chocolate Comfort Cake: https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/chocolate-comfort-cake/
This is just straight up deliciousness, and will make you forget all about those rainy days! Don't worry if you don't have a fluted tube pan. Try it in a bunt cake pan, or as a sheet cake - you might need to adjust the time, but it will still be delicious! That poured on chocolate glaze gives it a fun extra pop!
Hopefully these recipes help break up the day, and get your family engaged in some rainy day baking!
