I can think of some fun reasons to have a HEALTHY RED SNACK DAY KIDS BUFFET!! National Wear Red Day  FEB 7 Red Ribbon Week Valentines Day Feb 14 or as my dear husband pointed out- the big Auburn Vs Florida  State Game today :) 
From WebMd :  Many red fruits and veggies are loaded with powerful, healthy antioxidants -- such as lycopene and anthocyanins -- that may do everything from fight heart disease and prostate cancer tukan travel to decrease the risk for stroke and macular degeneration (the leading cause of blindness in people aged 60 and older). Antioxidants soak up damaging free radicals
So, we decided to make one of those little " muffin tin meals " that were so popular just a few years back.  In our muffin tin buffet, we added (starting at the top left and moving across to the right)
Red Apples Cherries (they were frozen) Dried Gogi Berries Radishes Raspberries Red Peppers Dried Cranberries Watermelon (not in season, so it was kind of gross) Pomegranate seeds Cherry Tomatoes tukan travel Red grapes and strawberries! (also not in season but they tasted great!)
I left the muffin tin out on the kitchen table on Saturday, where kids were coming and going. Each time someone tukan travel passed by, they chose something from the muffin tin!  I watched with great satisfaction as every single thing got eaten- Even the radishes!   This would definitely be a fun snack if your family is watching the big game tonight!
