we have been in a rut lately. whenever i feel like i want a snack i reach straight for the sweets or start thinking of all the yummy things i could make. i love to bake. yesterday alone i made chocolate chip cookies and cake...which the hubbs said he would take to school today {ya, he ended up not going}
now i have cake and cookie dough staring me in the face.
awesome.
trevor started training a couple weeks ago for a half marathon in may and our eating habits are not helping one bit.
i feel like throwing everything unhealthy in the trash right now. {that is a bit extreme and so wasteful}
excuses? probably. but i still can't do it.
instead i am going to freeze the cookie dough in case i need cookies again for a future event and i am going to find the cake a new home.
any takers?
it's shopping day once again and i decided that i am going to shop healthy.
it's time to phase out the junk and leave nothing but the healthy.
i figure either i will eat healthy or not at all. right?
now i just need some help with easy, healthy, & kid friendly snacks.
ideas?
ready. go!
My kids love carrot sticks with hummus (sabra brand is the best IMO) or sometimes ranch. They love cucumbers- strawberries, grapes. A friend taught me to do this- buy one of those vegetable tray chip/dip holders- They have great ones for cheap (with a lid) at Wal-mart, and put four kinds of veggies in them (they have four compartments) with Ranch or hummus in the middle. It's so easy to do in the morning, and you can just bust it out at lunch time, and dinner. It will store for a few days in the fridge because it has a lid. I will rotate fruits too, with some yogurt in the center instead of hummus. Does this make sense? I tried to find a picture of what it looked like... it has helped us ALOT with adding more fruits and veggies to our family life :)Oh and I have bought like 5 apple slicers, we go through those like crazy. They make apple slices so much easier.
ReplyDeleteThose are awesome ideas! Thanks so much!
