This white chocolate & dried cranberry oatmeal combination is another one of my homemade energy bar favorites and as with the other flavors, you won’t even notice that the healthy snack bars are full of wholesome goodness {whole wheat, wheat germ, oatmeal, flax seed and Greek yogurt!}.
These bars are a cross between a granola bar, muffin and energy bar. They are a nutrient-dense snack but they satisfy a cookie and overall sweet tooth craving.
Dress up your everyday quesadillas (or sandwiches) by cutting them into Easter egg shapes and letting your kids decorate them. My son has just as much fun decorating healthy food as he does cupcakes and sugar cookies. And it’s just one more way to make healthier fare fun and festive.
With or without silly faces, these fruit and spinach smoothies make a quick, healthy and kid-pleasing breakfast, snack or dessert.
Mickey Mouse quesadillas made the perfect mess-free finger food for my son’s Mickey Mouse Clubhouse 3rd birthday bash. Cutting Mickey Mouse shapes out of your quesadillas or sandwiches is fun any day!
Grapefruit is refreshing any time of year but it turns out that this beautiful pink granita is perfect for Valentine’s Day! The key to making granita is to agitate the ice crystals by beating them vigorously with a whisk or a spoon, breaking down the large ice chunks into soft, fluffy ice crystals.
Make snowmen out of peanut butter snack balls for an easy, healthy and fun snack that will give your kids the energy they need to play all day in the snow.
Playing with food is not always a bad thing and in this case, it is the perfect way to turn your winter mealtimes into a fun art project {especially when indoor projects to keep your kiddos busy are sorely needed!}. This time around we made Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer pulling a sleigh full of toys.
Lunches around here have been pretty fun lately because my son and I have been using our Christmas and winter cookie cutters to make edible art scenes. This is one instance where I think playing with food is perfectly acceptable! It is especially perfect for a cold winter day when you need an indoor project.
This pumpkin pie-spiced granola makes the perfect seasonal granola for autumn but it is appropriate all year long because the pumpkin flavor is not overpowering.
