]]>If there’s one thing kids love, it’s foods in colors that they’re not meant to be (we’re looking at you, Heinz purple ketchup). Sure, beets aren’t typically considered a kid favorite, but if your little one likes hummus, know that you can easily make your own neon pink version by tossing a small cube of cooked beet or a splash of beet juice into any homemade hummus recipe. Serve with whole grain crackers or veggie slices.
Hard boiled eggs are easy to make and high in many nutrients growing kids need, and while you can certainly choose to serve them as-is, picky eaters may be more likely to enjoy them if they recognize one of their favorite characters. We love these adorable Baby Yoda eggs, made with avocado and sugar snap peas.
There’s no way around it: store-bought granola bars are undeniably convenient, but they also tend to be high in sugar, not to mention expensive. By making your own bars from scratch, you have the option to adjust the level of sweetness and add any other family-favorite ingredients. As a base, start with two parts rolled oats to one part nut butter. Add any other desired ingredients, then spread evenly on a baking sheet and freeze for about 30 minutes.

]]>Fortunately, there are now plenty of healthier cookie brands available to choose from, and many even offer vegan and gluten-free options. If you love cookies as much as we do, here are a few we suggest adding to your snack cabinet.
Oreos have finally met their sugar-free match with these keto-friendly, high-protein chocolate sandwich cookies. They’re sweetened with monk fruit, which means no artificial aftertaste, and because they’re made with almond flour, they’re also naturally gluten-free.
Food allergy sufferers, rejoice — there’s finally a cookie available free of the top 9 most common food allergens, including peanuts, tree nuts, and soy. They’re also vegan, gluten-free, and non-GMO, but you’d never guess from how great they taste. Partake’s most popular flavor is chocolate chip, though we’re partial to the Birthday Cake variety.
Remember those little bags of Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies we used to get at birthday parties and in the cafeteria? Simple Mills Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookies taste just like those, but better. They’re made with almond flour, so they’re safe for those with gluten intolerance and are sweetened with unrefined coconut sugar.

]]>While popcorn is an all-time favorite snack, particularly at movie theatres, this is a unique twist on an otherwise standard snack. This Caramel Apple Popcorn is particularly good for serving large groups, making it ideal for parties.
Just because it’s a Super Bowl party doesn’t mean that you can’t slip some healthy ingredients into your snacks as well. These zucchini fritters are packed with nutrition and deliciousness.
Cheesy on the inside and crunchy on the outside, these ranch croquettes are full of surprises. You can also consider serving some dip alongside them for an added flavor.

]]>Who doesn’t want a pink dip? Beets are such a fabulous main ingredient for a dip—you can mix them with yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and many other ingredients. Roasted beets are the best for adding flavor but cooked beets work just as well. This dip will look amazing on any party table.
Eggplant dips are so delicious and you can add a variety of herbs and spices and toppings to make it more interesting. Tahini is a great addition and pomegranate and some fresh herbs. You can add some tomatoes or olives on the top too.
The sweetness of the onions makes this dip perfect for a party—you won’t want to stop eating it. Scoop it up with some pita bread or crunchy carrots and it is also really simple to make.

]]>The practice of serving gingerbread for Christmas goes back centuries, and this year, Trader Joe’s is keeping the tradition alive with these miniature gingerbread cookies. Bite-sized biscuits decked out with bow ties and buttons are as adorable as they are delicious, while a white chocolate fudge coating on the back adds a touch of indulgence.
Deck the halls with this seasonal spin on a classic treat. Oversized pretzels with a peanut butter candy coating are then sprinkled with chocolate candies and crushed Joe Joe’s cookies. The result is sweet, salty, and full of holiday cheer.
Nothing says “Christmas” like some good old-fashioned candy canes. Chocolate-covered nuts are a Trader Joe’s specialty all year long, and this year, their holiday collection features a white chocolate version with bits of crushed peppermint candy in the coating. Perfect as a stocking stuffer or just for daily snacking.

]]>Buy some corn tortillas from the shop (you can make them at home, but you will need an iron skillet and a tortilla press). Warm the cooked tortillas in an iron skillet with some butter, then grate over some cheese and add a few sliced gherkins. As the cheese melts, pop another tortilla on top. Let it cook for another minute, then remove from the heat. Slice in half, wrap in aluminum foil, and have a delicious, easy-eat tortilla stack waiting for you in the car.
Sometimes sitting for hours in a car can make you crave fresh, healthy food. You don’t have your hands free to dig into a salad, so why not wrap some sliced carrot, fresh leaves, diced peppers, and cucumber up in a flour wrap? Add a dash of seasoning, and you’ve got another easy-to-eat, healthy snack that’s ready to go.
Car food needs to be in small, easy-to-eat portions, so these nuts are perfect. In the microwave, melt 1 cup of dark chocolate. Put 2 cups of mixed nuts in a separate bowl. Once the chocolate is melted, stir 1 tablespoon of honey and 1 tablespoon of melted butter into the mix, then pour this over the nuts. Stir to coat the nuts thoroughly, then pop them in the fridge for 2 to 3 hours, so that the chocolate sets. Store them in a greaseproof bag, so that they don’t make a mess of your car seats.

]]>The zesty acidity of Sauvignon Blanc pairs beautifully with the crisp saltiness of pretzels. Sauvignon Blanc will often have notes of citrus and green apple, while pretzels offer savory and toasty flavors. Together, they make for a winning combination that’s sure to leave your mouth watering for more.
For a rich, indulgent combination perfect for date nights, you can’t go wrong with Cabernet Sauvignon and dark chocolate. The wine’s bold and tannic profile makes a lovely match for the deep, bittersweet flavors of dark chocolate. Choose high-quality chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% to bring out the wine’s nuances.
Reach for a glass of sparkling Rosé and a bowl of popcorn for a playful combination that gets the party started. The wine’s delicate bubbles and vibrant acidity complement the saltiness of the popcorn, creating a delightful contrast. Each sip of the crisp and fruity Rosé will cleanse your palate and prepare you for another handful of popcorn. You can even try experimenting with different popcorn flavors such as kettle corn or cheese.

]]>A classic treat gets a modern makeover in this quick and easy recipe by Call Me PMc. Rice Krispie Treats are traditionally made with rice cereal, butter, and melted marshmallows, but in this version, pieces of Ruffles potato chips add a fun and salty crunch. Try it as written, or use any brand of potato chips you happen to have on hand.
Chocolate-covered pretzels aren’t exactly a new phenomenon, but this recipe by Broma Bakery is the first time we’ve ever seen someone think to add them to brownies. The result is a sweet, salty, and perfectly balanced treat. After all, the only thing that goes better with chocolate than pretzels is more chocolate.
For parties, movie nights, or just for everyday snacking, we love this simple sugar cookie recipe by Kitchn. The cookie itself is indulgently chewy and only improved by the addition of lightly salted popcorn. Make your popcorn from scratch with the stovetop method, or use pre-popped or microwave popcorn to save time.
