Sugar, Sugar, Sugar

Sugar and I have a love hate relationship. I have a sweet tooth, so I love consuming sugary snacks… but I also have a healthy conscious brain that tells me NNnnnnooooooOOOOOO! Whenever I reach for a bag of sweets.

It’s a fight for moderation!

Too Many Sweet Treats

The overabundance of sugar filled snacks became glaringly obvious to me once my kids started school. It seems like every school lunch is served with syrup packed fruit or chocolate milk, every accomplishment is rewarded with candy, and every celebration is filled with sweets.

I hate to be the big party pooper…. but geeze louise, has anyone heard of the obesity epidemic sweeping the nation?

The Fun Mom

I love being the fun mom that thrills and delights my kids with clever snacks for the holidays and exciting themed treats. Unfortunately, most of the ideas I find online are made with sugar, Sugar, and more SUGAR!

What’s a fun loving mom to do?

I’ll admidt, it takes a bit of creativity but there are fun and delicious snacks that you can make and still feel good about serving to your kids.

Dried Fruit

I love dried fruit. Now don’t get too excited here… I realize that fruit does contain sugar… but it is naturally occurring sugar as opposed to the overload of refined sugar that is found in the adorable bags of Valentine sweets at the store.

Healthy Oven Baked Apple Chips

My kids love helping me make apple chips. I slice and they cut out the core with a mini heart cookie cutter. It’s a fun way to dress up fruit for Valentine’s Day!

You can customize the apple chips by baking them more or less. The longer you bake the crunchier they become. I prefer mine with a bit of chewiness, my kids love them crunchy like potato chips.
