Snacks and Desserts
Most kids are really only getting through the main course to reach the desserts and snacks. It's easy to toss in prepackaged goodies, but resist the temptation because it is so much healther, cheaper and greener to make them yourself.
Making your own Oatmeal Raisin Granola Bars is a snap and your kids will love them.
How about some healthy carrot cake cupcakes?
Of you can try my daughter's favourite chocolate cupcakes.
Cookies are always easy, and our family favourite is my mother's fantastic chewy ginger cookies.
Another simple cookie to make are shortbread cookies which I make every year around Christmas time.
My daughter loves to bake and she made some snickerdoodles which were quite simple, but very tasty. And really, what kid wouldn't love to tell their friends that they had snickerdoodles in their lunch box.
If you have a child who is vegan, here is a recipe for vegan chocolate cookies.
Most kids love apples, and here is an apple crisp recipe you can make with them.
Even though strawberries aren't in season now, you can still use frozen berries for this strawberry bread.
If your child likes savoury rather than sweet treats, then try this Crispy Chickpeas.
