Out of This Galaxy Cantaloupe Treat

1 medium sized cantaloupe

1 2/3 cups of large curd cottage cheese

1 tablespoon ground almonds, shredded coconut or raisins (or a mixture)

Drizzle of honey (for those over the age of 1 only)

1. Using a large, sharp knife, cut the cantaloupe crosswise into rings. Trim off the rind and scoop out the seeds.
2. Place each ring on a plate and carefully cut the ring into bite-sized pieces while keeping the ring shape.
3. Using an ice cream scoop, fill the center with a scoop of cottage cheese (about 1/3 cup).
4. Sprinkle a planetary dusting of ground almonds, raisins and coconut over the cottage cheese and drizzle a solar spray of honey on top.
5. Serve.

Serves 5.
