PB&J Cookies
These cookies are as cute as they are tasty. Kids can’t get enough of them, so make lots and stock up! The most important ingredient in this recipe is the jelly. Find a brand that does not contain refined sugar or corn syrup or sugar-free sweeteners. Look for one that is sweetened only with fruit. You may have to go to a natural food store to find it, but the extra effort is so worth it. Not only does the naturally sweetened jelly taste better, you’ll rest easy knowing that your kids (and you) are eating a treat that is highly nutritious.
Watermelon Candy
It never ceases to amaze me how much more delicious natural foods are than processed ones. This watermelon candy, which contains only watermelon and lemon juice, has such amazing and satisfying flavor. My kids love these!
Cheesy Kale Chips
I love these chips because you get all the satisfaction of crunching on cheesy chips not only without guilt, but with the pleasure of knowing that you are getting all the benefits of kale. It’s full of fiber, vitamin A and calcium, so eat up!
Lessons from a Cruise Ship
Last week B and the kids and I returned home from a 10-day cruise that we took with my parents. On our journey we visited 5 different countries, traveled through the Panama canal, walked between rows of banana plants, snorkeled in crystal clear waters, drifted down a jungle cloaked river and spotted monkies in the treetops.
Strawberry-Blueberry Breakfast Bars
These bars are awesome. They are perfect for a quick snack or breakfast. My kids love them so much that one batch doesn’t last more than a week!
