Peanut Butter Snack Attack

This is a great snack for kids to help make. Alex had a great time preparing this and gobbling them up afterwards! He could also choose between apples, bananas, or raisins for the fruit. He picked apples (which I peeled, since he hates that part).

It’s a great snack, but on occasion, I am going to start serving it to my picky eater for breakfast.

Sweet Potato with Garlic Herb Cheese

I never thought about putting cheese with a sweet potato, but this makes a real treat! I created a filling, yet low calorie lunch by pairing it with a grilled chicken breast (4oz) and cantaloupe (a total of 335 calories and 4.3 g. fat).
