I really want to start eating healthier...But my mom always buys junk food. Yes we do have healthier foods but not a lot... She always buys hot pockets,snack cakes,ice creams,pop, cookies, things to make cakes with, really sugary cereals...The only healthy things she buys are like a head of lettuce, apples or oranges sometimes, and some frozen veggies...I always try to just stick with wheat bread for my sandwiches at lunch and an apple or orange. But it's so tempting to just grab something un healthy when I'm hungry... And since the healthier foods don't last that long I have to eat the other stuff...How can I eat healthier when it's really tempting to just...not?


Answer
Ask your mom to buy healthier food. If she doesn't, then use the frozen veggie to make salads. Eat the fruits for snacks. Switch the recipes around with the salad so you don't get tired of it. If you run out of the healthier food, ask your dad to buy the healthy food. Not trying to be on the bad side but if they don't buy any, trade food with your friends. Lol.

What are good ideas for healthy treats to bring to school?

This is my son's first year of school and his teacher asks that when treats are brought in, they are healthy for the most part. No cupcakes, etc. My son's first day to bring a snack to school is next week and I can't think of anything creative for him to bring. Someone already brought the 'butterfly' treat, where you place a clothespin between a ziploc bag of snacks. Are there any other ideas anyone has used before or knows of that are healthy and cute? Thanks!


Answer
Kids are so cute at this age!!! Here are some ideas you might find acceptable:

1. Jello shapes: the original recipe is on their website, but it calls for a couple of boxes of jello and about half of the liquid. This makes an extra stiff batch that holds up well when cut in shapes with cookie cutters. Serve with animal crackers and whipped cream.
2. Rice krispy treats: you can make these using puffed brown rice and granola. Cut into shapes with cookie cutters and add mini chocolate chips or craisins as an extra treat.
3. Ice cold orange sections with a drizzle of raspberry syrup
4. Nutella spread on whole wheat bread and cut with cookie cutters
5. Trail mix baggies, ties with rafia
6. Celophane bags filled with mini box of raisins, M&M's, peanuts, and granola
7. String cheese and bread sticks or pretzel sticks tied with a piece of fruit bark.
8. Mini bagels spread with lowfat cream cheese and sprinkles with cinnamon
9. Baked potato or vege chips with lowfat ranch dressing
10. Fresh fruit parfaits: small plastic cups layered with non-fat strawberry yogurt, granola, fresh fruit
11. Fresh veges and dip: cucumbers, grape tomatos, mini carrots, jicama, brocolli florets and ranch dressing.
12. Mini peanut butter cookie sandwiches filled with nutella and raisins
