My mom always had carrots and celery peeled and ready to eat in the fridge, hence I grew up loving them.<BR/>As adult I gravitate towards the baby carrots.<BR/><BR/>Mom mom also introduced me to celery stalks with cream cheese - yummy, crunchy and fiber filled.<BR/>If u use the whipped cream cheese, you can use less of it on the stalk.<BR/>I have actually done cream cheese comparisons and know this to be a fact.<BR/>I make a dip from plain Greek yogurt (low or no fat) and salsa.<BR/>The Greek yogurt is so creamy that no realizes it's no or low fat.<BR/>I dip carrots, celery, and red, orange, or yellow peppers in it and I'm good to go in the snack area.<BR/><BR/>I also make hummus and dip the raw veggies in it.<BR/>Both are hits with my nieces and nephews and we can sit and munch & crunch during The Simpsons or Family Guy and I don't have to worry about a large carb intake.<BR/>Good Luck!<BR/>k2k2https://www.blogger.com/profile/04167099133092135850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1507681738351881728.post-81321923545561744282008-02-21T12:50:00.000-05:002008-02-21T12:50:00.000-05:00haha great idea!! it took me a loon time to eat sa...haha great idea!! it took me a loon time to eat salads too i hated it!! but now i love them... minus tomatoes i hate those.... mm i'm hungry!juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04301663958092036922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1507681738351881728.post-58736903140861754052008-02-21T07:08:00.000-05:002008-02-21T07:08:00.000-05:00Yeah, doesn't it drive you crazy that some kids ea...Yeah, doesn't it drive you crazy that some kids eat everything and some are so picky? Nora is my picky one. We'd be living on bagels & cream cheese in her world.Naomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11678716062433949143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1507681738351881728.post-58091671803707005932008-02-19T23:54:00.000-05:002008-02-19T23:54:00.000-05:00Brendon likes salad luckily enough.

Rarely do I make a bad meal in his eyes (I love that kid!!). If I based worthiness on my other two, we'd be eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches every night.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11082031887238694358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1507681738351881728.post-47080073431424564052008-02-19T21:51:00.000-05:002008-02-19T21:51:00.000-05:00Each kid is different.

He's not fond of tomatoes, but will eat them if he can pick them from the garden.Naomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11678716062433949143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1507681738351881728.post-85966544590819998662008-02-19T21:34:00.000-05:002008-02-19T21:34:00.000-05:00I know one day emma will crave salads and its comp...I know one day emma will crave salads and its components just like you and i. But for now It may as well be a pile of live worms on her plate. That is exactly how she reacts to it. She says it makes her tummy sick. The little twerp has never even swallowed a leaf before.<BR/>After church this past sunday i wanted to go home and eat. But what do i know...its two (girls) against one so we went out to eat. What we ordered is something that would have been made equicker at home at 1/8th of the cost too. <BR/>As parents of children with diabetes we have a greater role to tend to thier diet more than ever. Actually it is a good task to have...we will all be eating better for it.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00788604201777909431noreply@blogger.com
