Healthy Kid's Snack Idea

My family loves to cook together; we all love to pretend do be chefs and put on “cooking shows.” If you drive by my house at any given time don’t be surprised to see us lying in the grass, flipping through recipe magazines or reading a cookbook. The girls have been asking me to make “Nutty Jumbles” for a while. We eat a lot of nuts in our home for snack time and this is a fun way to spice up the same-old, same-old snack. I am careful with the amount of sugar we eat as a family but I figure if I’m lucky enough to have two little kids that will eat so many healthy things, they deserve some sugar… “just an itty bit,” as my daughter would say.

Nutty Jumbles {Makes about 8-10}

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup mixed unsalted nuts

1/4 cup organic brown sugar

1 free range egg white

1 tsp vanilla

Pinch of sea salt

Preheat the oven to 350 and prepare a cookie sheet with a buttered piece of foil on top.

Mix all of the above ingredients well.

Drop spoonfuls on tray and cook for 7-8 minutes or until brown. Let cool and enjoy your healthy snack!

* When more kiddos are over I double the recipe—it doubles easily!

* I have also chopped the nuts; this works well too!
