Treats and Miscellaneous

Last week we ran out of the Clif Kids bars that I usually give the kids for snack (and I buy them at Sam's and knew I wouldn't get there until the end of the week) so I tried to find a "healthy" cookie to have around the house... and this one fit the bill!

Oatmeal Cookies   I made these with dried blueberries for the first batch because it was what I had.... and they were very popular with Britt and Duncan so I made another batch at the end of the week with raisins.  This is the kind of cookie I can have around the house during the week and I don't overdo it.  I like them but they aren't a trigger food like anything with chocolate  :)

Raspberry Sauce  was another experimental recipe.... and it turned out SO GREAT!!!  We will be using this on top of pancakes, waffles, ice cream, yogurt...whatever!  This is a fun website to browse if you have young kids and are looking for some new low sugar snacks and healthy meals.

And lastly I made an absolutely wonderful Pumpkin Dump Cake.  Once a week I allow myself to make something a bit decadent... and have been choosing to stay away from chocolate since I seem to have problems limiting myself with it... This was DELICIOUS.  I left out the cloves because I tend to not like "spicy" pumpkin things...
