Childhood Snack Glow-Ups


Introduction

Everyone has their classic childhood snacks that they still think about or even still eat. Classic childhood snacks never go out of style, but our taste buds grow up. Here’s how to keep the foods you love and give them a grown up, glow up.

1. Dunkaroos 

For some, the sweet-and-crunchy duo of Dunkaroos is just too good to leave in childhood. Luckily there's a healthier, more grown option with some graham crackers, greek yogurt, and honey. This trio will perfectly match the snack ability and keep the sweetness alive through the graham cracker and honey.

-Break apart a couple graham crackers into the 4 different thin pieces

-Scoop a couple spoonfuls of greek yogurt into a separate bowl

-Drizzle some honey on top of the yogurt 

-Dip in and enjoy!

2. Fruit Roll-Ups

Fruit Roll-ups remain a classic throughout my life, but whenever my mom decide we needed to be healthier she would make dehydrated fruit leathers. Don’t worry, the sweetness is still there, but now it’s more than a snack. Pair it with nuts, cheese, or meats for a balanced meal.

-Choose your fruit, grab lemon juice, and some stevia if you would like
-Blend it up to make puree
-Place in oven at about 170F for  about 4-6 hours or until it is not sticky, use your own judgement 
-Let it cool, then cut, and it's ready to eat!

3. Bagel Bites

Bagel Bites, a classic, easy staple snack or dinner item for parents in a rush or even just not wanting to cook. These tiny pizzas just matched perfectly to what children want: anything miniature. Though I will always give them a look when I walk by them in the store, or even when I fall guilty to buying them, it's time to grow them up. Grab some cream cheese, salmon, a little bit of dill, and if you want to keep the mini aspect make sure to grab the mini pita wedges. 

-Take the pita wedge and spread a thin layer of cream cheese on them.
-Then take sliced salmon and  neatly place that one top as the cheese
-Sprinkle a little bit of dill on each piece
-Take a bite and enjoy your new bite!!

Weird Food Pairings You’ll Wish You Tried Sooner

Introduction       Weird cravings are a very real thing.  Sometimes they hit during a hormonal cycle, pregnancy, stressful days, or simply when boredom strikes. While some combinations may sound questionable at first trust me when I say there's a chance it might turn into your favorite snack. Over the last couple of years I have discovered a few unusual combinations that have changed my snacking game. Here are the top 3 Weird Food Pairings and why you might wish you tried them sooner.  1. Hot Cheetos and Cream Cheese        Hot Cheetos and cream cheese is my go to late night snack that is absolutely unbeatable.  This one might sound the most normal, what’s not to love about a spicy, salty, savory chip paired with a cool, creamy spread to balance the heat? Don't worry you still have the satisfying crunch of the chip just this way it is paired ups with the perfect soothing texture. This paring is similar to have sour cream and na...

Flavor Hills I’ll Die On

 Introduction Everyone has good opinions, some spicy enough to start arguments with others. In this blog post I will introduce my flavor hills that I'll happily take to my grave. These takes aren’t out there, but they get way more hate than they deserve. Breakfast For dinner Breakfast for dinner is a tradition in my family. Once a week, we will make biscuits or cinnamon rolls with bacon, eggs, and fruit. As someone whose favorite meal is breakfast this is my favorite day of the week, with unmatched sweet flavors while still getting all of the needed nutrients that you would get from a "classic" dinner. Double downing on breakfast will never be a guilty pleasure, forever just a pleasure. Ketchup on Eggs People love to hate on this one, but I'll forever defend it: ketchup belongs on eggs. Since the first time I tried eggs, my parents put ketchup on it, now I won't eat it any other way. The sweetness of ketchup covers up the off-putting taste in eggs that makes some ...
