Winter Fuel: Food Kids Love Made a Bit Healthier
This “Arctic Blast” storm Oregon is experiencing makes the kids hungry. They are spending their days outside playing in our 15 inches of snow and then coming in every hour or so for hot cocoa and snacks.
Like most kids, when they come in the first thing they ask for are cookies or candy… we have quite a few treats around right now because it’s Holiday time. I don’t have a problem with the kids having some treats, as I believe that healthy eating revolves around making wise choices and learning to eat in moderation. That said, I don’t want them to fill up on sugar.
We’ve been enjoying lots of organic oranges, sliced organic fuji apples w/ peanut butter, organic bananas and organic baby carrots dipped in Organicville dairy free ranch dressing. In between the healthy snacks, we’ve had some gluten free/dairy free sugar cookies shaped like little snowmen, homemade hot cocoa and oatmeal no bake cookies.
