Snacks & Other Goodies

We usually have a couple of snacks during the day. Snacks help to keep the grouchies away!

I always try to keep a bowl of fresh fruit on the table. Our favorites are apples and bananas. I will also try to buy whatever else is in season or on sale to give them a chance to develop a taste for other fruits.

Cinnamon Toast

Cinnamon Toast

Ingredients:

  • 2 slices bread
  • butter
  • 1 T sugar (I have been using Stevia or Monkfruit in place of the sugar)
  • 1 t. cinnamon

Directions:

Mix together cinnamon and sugar. Toast your bread, butter it, sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar mixture.

I usually keep an old, clean, parmesan cheese shaker full of cinnamon sugar.

Use 2 T cinnamon to every 1/2 c sugar to make it in larger batches.
