Pancake bites are all the rage right now and it makes perfect sense why. They’re perfect for school mornings.

Pour some syrup in a cup for dipping the pancake bites into and you’re good to go. Your kids will love them. You’ll love them too.

Apple Slices with PBfit

August 16, 2017 No Comments

Sliced apples with peanut butter is one of my very favorite healthy snacks. But when you start to think about all those calories in peanut butter, I tend to shy away from the peanut butter part of it and just eat the sliced apples part. When I discovered PBfit, that all changed. Per serving, there are over 100 calories less in PBfit that there are in regular peanut butter. Feel free to read all about PBfit over on this blog post.

School’s coming. This year my aim is to be prepared with healthy but kid approved snacks for after school. These sweet potato banana bites are a perfect little treat. Not only do I like them, but my 2-year-old and my 7-year-old both approved and asked for more. They’re gluten free and dairy free. So, those who have sensitivities or allergies to those can have these too.

Back to Basics: Simple Granola

April 21, 2017 No Comments

For the past few months I’ve really been enjoying granola. I’ll munch on it plain, add it to yogurt, or eat it as a cold cereal. I love that it’s a healthier option for snacks and breakfast that is as quick to prepare in a moment as store-bought cold cereal. And when you make your own, you can control what goes in it. That’s something that is pretty important for me.
