If there is one thing that you just couldn’t go without during the Christmas season, what would it be? Ok, let me narrow that down a bit; If there is on type of treat that you just could not go without, what would it be? I know what mine would be. I wait all year for cranberries to be in season and then I buy a bunch and freeze them for the rest of the year. Who am I kidding? They never make it more than a few weeks in my house. This is a recipe that we have been using for years. It is simple but delicious!

Apple Slices Sprinkled with Cinnamon

I can’t tell you how may times I have gotten bored or just happen to wander into the kitchen and open the fridge. Whether I am hungry or not I always seem to roam towards the kitchen. I know it’s not a good habit, although I have learned to make good and healthy food instead of most of the quick ready-made foods. One of my personal favorite things to eat is freshly cut apple slices, sprinkled with cinnamon.   It is simply amazing and it seriously like a treat. It is so easy to make and even easier to eat.

The Perfect Afternoon Snack–Ants on a Log

There are so many days where I find myself walking over to the fridge in between lunch and dinner. I don’t want to eat a big meal and I don’t keep chips or other processed food in the house, so it forces me to eat healthy snacks. Isn’t that ingenious idea? This is by far one of my favorite snacks to have. The crunchiness of the celery, the sweetness of the raisins and the creamy and saltiness of the peanut butter. This truly is a delicious treat. Did I mention the protein in the peanut butter helps to keep me full until dinner time?

All you need is:

Celery

Peanut Butter

Raisins
