Hey Everyone!
Wanted to share this "ah ha" moment I had last month-- I was eating a bowl of granola with freeze dried strawberries in them at 9:00 pm on the kitchen floor with my precious baby girl standing there, staring at me, saying "mum mum." I gave her a little bit of the milk-- then some of the strawberry and her face lit up! And I thought-- "ah ha!" I had read an article earlier that week about the 6 worst "healthy" snacks to give your child and on that list was one thing I had started giving Baby D-- crackers! The horror I felt as I was faced with the fact that I was diluting my child's system with cheesy crackers (hey, at least they are organic!!)--- and boy oh boy does she love those cheesy, salty crackers! Let's face it, we all need a "quick fix" at times, and I couldn't figure out what I could throw in her "snack trap" that wouldn't leave me riddled with guilt. Then it dawned on me-- freeze dried fruit!!! If we are on the go and need to take something that won't spoil, or I don't want to lug a huge ice pack and sack, I throw freeze dried fruit, yogurt melts, and/or cheerios in to a snack trap and off we go! SHE LOVES IT! You can find freeze dried fruit at Trader Joe's in yummy flavors like strawberry, mango, and banana-- she LOVES the strawberries and bananas! I hope the babes like it!
