yogurt dots and carrot chips

I have been out of easy finger foods (that don't make a mess like bananas or avacado if squished and thrown, which Riggs just loves to do) for a few weeks, but loathe to go and buy any at the store.  They are so expensive for the organic ones, and they still have more ingredients than is ideal.  So I finally got around to making some yesterday, and I was pretty happy with the results.

First I made some yogurt drops, with blueberries, plain yogurt and a little agave.  I mixed them all together in the blender and for some reason they got really soupy and so the 'drops' were pretty flat and disc-like.  Riggs still loved them, but I'll have to figure out what I did wrong in the next batch so they're more 'drop' shaped and easier for him to pick up off his tray.

This picture from pinterest [with the caption 'yogurt drop fail'] cracked me up because it looks exactly like my first batch, before I got a method for squeezing the runny yogurt out of the bag:

Next time I think I'll try to make them look more fancy too, like this:

Then I made some carrot 'chips', which was really easy and Riggs loved these.  I did too, they were soooo good.  I just need to get my mandolin out and make the slices a bit more substantial and they would be perfect.  I followed these instructions, and am now excited about making other veggie chips.
