My kids love to snack in front of the T.V. Everything I have read or seen on the news tells me this causes obesity and hyper-activity in children. Well at this point I don't see us getting rid of our t.v. but we could limit our viewing time. And what about the snack? Here are a couple of ideas for snack mixes we munch on at our house.
Jameson's Mix
4 cups cherrios
2 cups chocolate chips
2 cups pretzel sticks
2 cups goldfish crackers
Granola
4 cups old fashion oats
1 stick butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 cups dried fruit
2 cups mixed nuts
melt butter and brown sugar then add to all dry ingredients
mix and pour on a baking sheet
bake 45 minutes at 325
I agree... I like to snack in front of the TV, and probably won't be giving up my TV time anytime soon. Healthy snack ideas are always super helpful. I love granola! I also love popcorn, and when I pop it with my air popper, it's practically calorie-free. :)
