Odds & Ends

Fun Alternative to Cheez-Its (or cheese crackers)

So sometimes, I have no idea where Eden finds these unique foods, but she does. This eco.planet (hmm, just misspelled the word planet & without the 'e', what does it spell?)  Anyway, this cracker is so fun. For the pic, I placed one of each type of cracker on its respective symbol on the box. 

Sometimes when you give up certain foods, you still may crave them (or something similar) - that's where the value of transitional food comes in.  I don't remember eating cheese crackers for at least a decade, but when Eden brought these home (actually they arrived through the mail), I was so excited to try them.

At first bite, they seemed a bit strange, as the memories of your taste buds kind of rev-up to expect a certain familiar taste. Then your imagination kicks in. At second & third taste, I began to love them. Now, I don't  include this in my daily diet, but once in a while when you might 'crave' cheddar cheese, why not reach for a healthier alternative?  

These crackers can  be a teaching tool for your children too. The four shapes represent: solar energy, being earth-friendly, wind energy & green cars with an explanation printed on the back.

   

Below are Annie Chun's All Natural Asian Cuisine - Maifun. These are brown rice noodles that cook up in a few minutes (at the most). 

And this is a heart-filled serving for tomorrow's lunch (plus veggies, of course!)

So much to share - so little time...

Until next time,

Peace to you & yours,
