I raised my kids on salutary food. And every kid who ever came into my home and joined us for a meal or snack enjoyed what I served.

So much for the parents' excuses. Do not blame your child for your choices.

Hey, you are the parent and you make the buying decisions. Your kid can only eat what is in the house. No junk food available no junk food eating. Just make distinct the food you do serve is more than just nutritious but fun to eat and tasty to boot.

A second excuse parents make to not make salutary food choices is that good food costs too much.  Know that I raised my kids without physician bills because eating the organic non-processed foods allowed us to enjoy marvelous health.

If you add up all of your physician bills (add in gasoline to appointments, missed work, prescriptions) I dream you spent way more on health than we did--and we had fun. Being sick is not good for your health and it most right on is not fun.

To show you how uncomplicated it can be to prepare good-for you food that also tastes great I included how to prepare an easy, inexpensive and fun snack here. The cool thing is, if you do not tell citizen the ingredients they will enjoy the dishes.

Some citizen have such strange ideas about nutritious foods that just naming a food will turn their delighted smile of enjoyment to the act of pushing away the plate. No kidding.

This recipe allows for optimal creativity. You can use the same know how to create anyone flavor you are in the mood for (or the store has on sale) each time you make it.

I make my energy candy in a food grinder.

I said this would be easy, right? It is so easy I am not even going to write down a recipe because there is nothing to measure.

You take your favorite dried fruits (raisins, apricots, pineapple, dates, etc.) in any single range or any combination that appeals to you. You also select your favorite nuts and seeds (almonds, peanuts, pecans, filberts, walnuts, etc.)

Alternate putting the dried fruit and the nuts/seeds into the grinder. As your turn the handle the fruits and nuts mix together. What comes out the other end is like the energy bars you see in the health food aisles in the store - only no junk ingredients - no extra sweeteners and o chemical preservatives.

If you want to make protein rather than pure energy bars then add a good potential protein that also tastes good to you--and has no artificial flavors or sweeteners.  A top potential as a matter of fact absorbed whey power works. Just adjust quantities to taste and texture.

Shape the bars into the sizes you like.

If the candy is too sticky naturally add more nuts and seeds. An alternative pleasure is adding dried coconut to the combination or rolling limited balls of candy in desiccated coconut. I also like to roll the balls n carob.

Note that carob is no way a chocolate substitute. It may look like chocolate but it is not from the cacao house and does not taste like chocolate in any way, shape or form. What I as a matter of fact like about carob is you do not need to add sweetener to it as you do with chocolate.

You can see how separate combinations of nuts and seeds as well as separate fruits lead to an endless range of delights.

The best part is the price--buy all things in the bulk section of your supermarket which also affords you the chance to buy very small quantities for experimenting.

Enjoy!
