36 yummy & healthy-ish party snack recipes (for GAME day & everyday)




.................

let's be honest.
i know absolutely NOTHING about american football,  or the super bowl. {except the tv commercials are famously expensive, the half-time show is the talk of the town, and superbowl parties with lots of treats are the festive event de rigueur every january!}

but at our house we do know a little something about snacks & parties. we LOVE 'em!


so here's a roundup of 36 YUMMY, some sweet, some savoury, some crunchy, some gooey, some respectably salty party snack recipes that would be a perfect addition to your super bowl party or gosh-darn any old party! i deem them *healthy-ish* as most are made from fresh ingredients and are way less greasy and sodium-packed than their processed munchie counterparts. please note: i'm not a nutritionist in the least, but i do think these goodies look YUM! enjoy!


ps: you can find all these pins, and MORE, in my *yummy & healthy-ish party snacks* board on pinterest! come follow!

fun handmade lunch ideas!

well well well... it's back to school time here in ottawa for
the wee little ones!


little rikrak is loving his fun new teacher, his fabulous arts forward classroom, & seeing all of those wonderful school friends all day again!

as mommy, i'm delighted for his joy, and to be honest... a wee bit missing my little sweetie! it was such a great summer! alas! how are you feeling about the wee ones back at school?

i saw a GREAT article in the Globe and Mail last week on the joy of packing a gorgeous healthy handmade lunch for our kiddies! indeed, lunch-packing can be a parental chore & problem-solving task! but i loved the great bento box ideas. beautiful! thought i'd share some here.

check out the whole article online for more pro-healthy school lunch ideas. they might take a wee bit longer to craft, but what a handmade lunch! {loving the use of cute reusable cupcake holders to divide some of the lunches, too!}

woohoo! yay school! lunch never looked so creative & delicious! (ps: by the way... little rikrak's lunch didn't look much like any of them today! alas... i'll keep trying! :)
