Healthy Snacks on the Go & Giveaway

Summer is a great time for day trips with the family! I love outings with the kids, but I don’t like the high prices of eating on the road! I usually pack snacks when we head out for the day to keep the kids from begging for nuggets and fries on the way home.

I’ve shared with you before how you can take any muffin recipe and make it healthier by substituting applesauce for oil. 

My favorite on the go snack are pear muffins, they are a big hit with the kids and when made with whole wheat flour and applesauce are an awesome healthy snack.

If you are looking for healthy snacks when you’re on-the-go you’ll want to check out the recipe section of the Musselmans’s website. They have lots of great easy snack ideas all made with applesauce!

If your kids prefer bars to muffins, you’ll want to try the chewy fruit bar recipe. It is filled with oats, raisins, and walnuts.

The folks at Musselmans would like to give one reader a Musselman’s prize pack so you can make some of your own delicious and healthy snacks. You’ll also get a few recipe ideas in the prize pack as well.

Cinnamon Sugar Bites

A few weeks ago I had a bread machine fail. The loaf fell during baking and was pretty doughy in the middle. I didn’t get many takers at dinner so I hopped on Facebook to ask what to do with my doughy loaf.

You all had many great suggestions, but since I was craving a sweet treat I went with the cinnamon sugar option.

This would work with any loaf of bread, but it is a great way to use up a sunken loaf that no one wants to eat!
