Muffins for Fiber

Last week on the blog Jody gave us a great intro into why we need fiber and what foods have fiber in them. For the rest of the month, we are each going to share some practical ways we try to get fiber. My family loves muffins, in fact, I think muffins might be my husband’s favorite food. We eat them for any meal, for snacks, and when we need a sweet treat. Since they are a regular part of our menu plan, I try to choose muffins that will get us some fiber.

A Refreshing Summer Treat!

This summer our house has turned into playdate central! Most weekdays we have an extra kiddo (or several) at our house. I never realized how much 7-year-olds could eat in a two-hour time span until this summer! With all these planned and unexpected playdates, I try to keep plenty of snacks and drinks on hand so no one leaves our house hungry.
