Healthy After-School Snack: Raspberry Whole Wheat Mini Muffins
November 17, 2012 | Posted by Stacy under Healthy snacks, Recipes |
My kids are always hungry when they get home from school. And when time allows–and even when it doesn’t, which explains why I’m always running late–I love surprising them with healthy fresh-baked muffins. Despite the countless batches I’ve made since becoming a mom, I had never once made raspberry. But they sounded good so I […] more
World’s Easiest Homemade Microwave Popcorn (For School or Home!)
September 27, 2012 | Posted by Stacy under Healthy snacks, Recipes |
Popcorn is my favorite go-to snack for classroom parties and after school. I haven’t met a kid who doesn’t love it, and it’s quick, easy and cheap to make (you can feed an entire class for just a few dollars!). Better still, it’s healthy (that is, as long as you make it the right […] more
Smart Snack of the Week: The Perfect Hard-boiled Egg
August 22, 2012 | Posted by Stacy under Healthy snacks |
After years of experimenting, I’ve finally figured out how to make the perfect hard-boiled egg. I can’t tell you how many I’ve tested only to be disappointed. For example, I’ve tried adding (and not adding!) salt to the water and using a covered and uncovered pot. I’ve even plunged the cooked eggs in an ice […] more

Every where I look, I feel like I’m seeing the words “Back to School”! But I’m still fully in summer mode. Our school doesn’t start for weeks and it is way too hot to even think about returning to the classroom. I’m more focused on staying cool (I even took my kids ice skating […] more
Smart Snack of the Week: Chickpea Poppers

I’m always on the hunt for healthy recipes to try out on my kids. (Thus the stacks of magazine clippings piled up around my house, much to my husband’s chagrin). So when a copy of The Mom 100 Cookbook: 100 Recipes Every Mom Needs in her Back Pocket (Workman Publishing, April 2012) by food writer […] more
Smart Snack of the Week: Fruit & Veggie Stoplights
May 29, 2012 | Posted by Stacy under Healthy snacks, Recipes |
It’s the age-old question: How do you get kids to eat more fruits and veggies? Serving them up in the same old boring way isn’t the answer for a lot of munchkins. I’ve discovered it with my own crew: They get tired of plain cut-up strawberries and steamed broccoli (Ok, I’ll be honest: My boys […] more
Smart Snack of the Week: Apple Boat with Fruit Salad
May 9, 2012 | Posted by Stacy under Healthy parties, Healthy snacks, Recipes |
I just love this super-creative (and yes, healthy!) snack idea from the mom of one of my son’s classmates, which she dreamed up (literally–it came to her in a dream!) for their kindergarten class. To make it: Scrub a medium-to-large apple, then cut it in half. Use a spoon to scoop out the core and […] more
