Chef Tips:
To coarsely crush cookies: Place cookies in large zip-top plastic bag; seal bag, pressing out excess air. With rolling pin or smooth side of meat mallet, coarsely crush cookies.

To halve peaches: with paring knife, cut each peach around center seam, then twist halves in opposite directions to separate.
Dietitian’s Dish Tip(s):

> Flavor and sweetness of fruits are intensified with grilling. At your next BBQ, serve up skewers and a variety of cut fruit that guests can assemble themselves. Try pineapple, watermelon, apples, and strawberries!
