buildonlinenow healthy kid snacks Mar 21, 2010 9:04 AM I can't believe the amount of sugar, salt, preservatives in every snack on the market. No wonder so many children are on meds for ADD, along with many others. Let's start a campaign to find some snacks that are healthy, nutritional, all natural. Post what you find, this should be quite a journey.  
lauren Eat Your Greens...Kale Chips Mar 15, 2010 1:18 PM Inspired by babysugar's series Eat your Greens , I decided to try to make Kale chips for my little niece. She is only a year and half but I definitely want to try to expose her to a lot of different types of food. The chips themselves are really easily to make and only require a bit of olive oil, kale and a touch of salt. I used FitSugar's recipe but basically lightly toss the kale in olive oil and bake. I happened to buy dinosaur kale and next time I will buy a kale with a slightly softer stalk or remove more of it before I bake them. But all in all the chips were tasty, crunchy and definitely healthier than any chip out of the bag. My niece even enjoyed a few to my amazement.
babysugar Eat Your Greens: Get Some Muscles From Brussels Sprouts Mar 11, 2010 7:00 AM St. Patrick's Day may conjure up memories of Irish soda bread, corned beef, and pints of Guinness, but we're approaching the holiday from a different direction this year – an opportunity to get our kids to eat more green. We're taking five green vegetables and trying out different methods to get our tots to gobble them up. Brussels sprouts get a bad rap because they are often overcooked, which makes them sulfurous and hard to stomach. Children can also be intimidated by their cabbage like appearance. The round lil goodies are packed full of vitamins A and C, as well as folic acid and fiber, making them great for the digestive system. To get my tot to give them a chance, I deconstructed the bulbous greens by shredding them prior to placing them in the roasting pan. The result: a side dish that even a picky eater is willing to try! 7704820 Check out the recipe, and step-by-step instructions, when you . 7704821
babysugar Eat Your Greens: Spinach Pesto Grows Lil Muscles Mar 10, 2010 6:00 AM St. Patrick's Day may conjure up memories of Irish soda bread, corned beef, and pints of Guinness, but we're approaching the holiday from a different direction this year – an opportunity to get our kids to eat more green. We're taking five green vegetables and trying out different methods to get our tots to gobble them up. First up, spinach! Popeye's favorite vegetable isn't always tops on lil ones' list of favorite foods. The leafy vegetable may be known for supplying vast amounts of iron, calcium, and rich antioxidants, but its overall texture can scare away the kids. By transforming it into a sauce to accompany a favorite pasta dish, the vegetable's nutritional value remains intact, and wee ones will be begging for more. We added some fresh lemon (both juice and peel) to some baby spinach, pine nuts, and Parmesan cheese to create a pesto that my son helped blend to perfection. 7695234 Check out the recipe, and step-by-step instructions, when you . 7695235 7695234
lauren Yummy Pudding Cone Mar 1, 2010 3:43 PM To entertain my niece and nephew, we made a box of pudding since it is easy to have them help. Once the pudding was finished to surprise them I served it in an ice cream cone topped with sprinkles! They said they loved pudding in a cone even more than ice cream. I think it would be great dessert option for a untraditional birthday party.
