This kid friendly snack is as healthy as it gets. Just don't tell your children it's also Paleo/primal fare.

It's a vegetable revolution! They're back. Vegetables, that is. They never really left, actually. Sometimes we just forget about them. This quick and easy veggie snack recipe takes about 10 minutes to make. The boys will eat them the moment they walk in the door from school. That bowl is usually empty by dinner.

    This is exactly the trick I used as well, though I added the request that no one touch them before dinner. This proved irresistible, and all three kids have grown up loving vegetables.

  2. Sue-So great to see you over here. Yes, the reverse psychology thing works well! It was nice to go for a walk with you last week. xo Elana
