Dear Reader-
I have been perusing pinterest and google for some GOODe homemade snacks and convenience foods for me and the fam.
Speaking of pinterest… can we all take a moment of silence for the pinterest that once was?
Spam is getting out of control over there and it makes me uber sad…
I am really confused as to WHY spammers insist on ruining everything, apparently I am missing HOW they benefit from tearing apart something awesomely beautiful, but ahh well.
I really hope Pinterest gets it all under control soon.
Anyhoo, snacks…
Having yummy healthy (to semi-healthy) treats and convenience foods around the house helps us all stay on track and keeps us energized.
Below are some tried and true recipes we love and some I am uber excited to try.
Bananas for Bananas
We are totally bananas for bananas ’round here.
From Peanut Butter Banana Roll Ups to our favorite new homemade Banana Ice Cream recipe, we love our Nanners!
That is why I can’t wait to fix up these fun banana finds with little Miss Add:
- Cheerios Banana Yogurt Pops
- Nutella Banana Pops (or Ice Cream)
- Chocolate Covered Banana Pops
- Oven Baked Banana Chips
- Skinny Monkey Cookies
Freezer Time Savers
We love to stock our freezer with time saving convenience foods like:
And, we can’t wait to try
Savory and Salty
What I am MOST excited to try are all these awesome recipes for new spins guilty pleasure foods that can easily be lightened up like:
- Zucchini Tots
- Homemade Tater Tots
- Homemade Fries
- Homemade Cheese Nips
- Healthy Kid Crackers
- Oven “Fried” Salt and Vinegar Chips
- And we always have to whip up some of our Cheerios Trail Mix
Do you have a “Go To” snack or convenience food you like to make yourself or have made ahead of time?

Do Ghiradelli chocolate chips right out of the bag count? The DARKEST chocolate kind? 🙂 (I think your ideas are healthier even though mine is faster hee hee!)
