Assignment #17 - After School Snack Time
Today’s assignment is to post a few of your favorite snacks. If they are homemade, share a recipe. Take time this week evaluate your snack and share ways that you can make this healthy for you and your family.
I don't know why I've put this assignment off for so long. So, here it finally is.
We don't really have a bunch of snack ideas. Cameron pretty much grazes from breakfast to early afternoon. Things that we snack on:
- Organic raisins
- Cheese sticks
- Applesauce
- Baby Carrots
- Cucumbers
- Hard boiled eggs
- Apples
- Grapes
- Bananas
- Green Peppers
- Tomoatoes (he eats them like apples)
- And for the really desperate times, just a plain piece of bread. No butter, no jam, no peanut butter, just a piece of bread.

Posted by MoreLittleWilsons
Yep, we eat tomatoes like apples here too, especially in summertime when they're nice and ripe on th vine.
I like to eat them one section at a time, sucking out the seeds, and then unwrapping the next section of seeds, sucking them out. I'm a little weird with corn on the cob too, I eat them one row at a time, making sure the row is clean before going on to the next row, by the time I'm finished, there's no little corn skins left on the cob.
Is that called playing with my food?

My older daughter likes to eat a bowl full of tomatoes with grated cheese on top. Great job on the assignment! Such healthy snacks!!

I could never get my kids to eat boiled eggs. They like scrambled, but no other way. Your list sounds great. Does it bother you that your son grazes all day? I find myself getting grumpy when I just finished cleaning up a meal and someone comes for a snack. I mean, how could their little bodies be hungry every 2 hours?

I have been having lots of raisins lately, chocolate donuts too ;) LOL No - not together that would be disgusting! LOL My kids like pickled eggs made by their great grandma or their grandma (I won't make them!). And my DS (7) grazes all day too! I have told him that he will have to get a job soon to pay for all that food! LOL
Thanks for the idea about the swing at night time, I had not thought of that. I have set up the co-sleeper to make sure it is ready though ;)
