preschool snacks
Comments from the policy list:
Provide foods low in sugar, salt, and fat. Provide only pure juice or milk to drink. (no punches or ades which contain sugar) Here is my list: fresh or canned fruits fresh vegetable and dip crackers, plain or with cheese muffins plain or fruit added pancakes or waffles bagels plain or with cream cheese cereals, hot and cold pasta, plain or with sauce salads, soup biscuits, toast yogurt sandwiches This list is for morning and afternoon classes, so the heavier snacks are not surprising. So, the list is vaguely specific, but leaves plenty of room for error. Karen G |

These sound like a nice "take-along" *snack. OK, I'm cutting and pasting from my archives here. So, this is the base recipe (which I never really follow): 2 c shredded carrots 1 c shredded zucchini 1 c chopped peeled apple 3/4 c flaked coconut 1/2 c chopped almonds 2 tsp grated orange peel 2 c flour 1 1/4 c sugar 1 Tbls cinnamon 2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 3 eggs, lightly beaten 3/4 c vegetable oil 1 tsp vanilla extract Gently toss together the first 6 ingredients and set aside. In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients. Combine egg, oil and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened (batter wil be thick). Fold in vegetable mixture. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake at 375' F for 20-22 minutes or until they test done. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to rack. Makes 18 standard size muffins. What I do is: double the recipe and leave out the the coconut, almonds, and orange peel. While I still used a total of 6 cups of shredded veggies, I changed the proportions so it was half zucchini and half carrot. I diced my apples up more finely than I did last time so I think that I actually ended up using a little more apple this time but the difference in that isn't huge. I also replace about half the oil with applesauce, butternut squash puree, or something of that sort. I like to add ginger and cardamom and nutmeg, too, but it depends on my audience and mood. Sometimes I use one less egg than required because once I did it by accident and it worked fine Using a double batch, I get about 33-36 good sized muffins done perfectly after 20 min. -- hillary israeli vmd http://www.hillary.net "uber vaccae in quattuor partes divisum est." not-so-newly minted veterinarian-at-large |
