Q. I am looking for healthy snack ideas for kids age 3-8 years old. Do you have some you could list for me?

Answer
there are a few I remember from when I was young...
peanut butter and crackers

celery and peanut butter

hard boiled eggs (sometimes deviled eggs - Mom used to make penguins out of them somehow using olives)

graham crackers and frosting (my favorite was cream
cheese - yummm)

rolled up sandwich meat

or even better

ham with cream cheese spread on it, then rolled and cut into pinwheels

pimento cheese and crackers

WE loved Jello

I just found a recipe for apple volcanos too...They might enjoy that.

Apple Volcanoes
from Chef Jennifer Mraz, The Art Institute of Phoenix

(serves two)

- 2 apples

- 2 large marshmallows

- cup peanut butter

- cup chocolate chips

- cup chopped nuts

- 2 tbsp shredded coconut

Wash apples. Remove stem and core out apple with spoon, enlarging the hole slightly. Press marshmallows in center of cored apple to fill the bottom. Spoon peanut butter into apple to fill to the top. Spread peanut butter over top of apple. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and coconut.
