The garlic olive oil is the secret here. Try to find garlic-infused olive oil; I found it at a local olive oil producer.

Really great and healthy, perfect pre-run breakfast or for a quick snack.

They say that these Swedish chocolate balls, known as chokladbollar, are the first thing a Swedish child learns to make, and for good reason; they're easy to do, there's no baking required, and mixing the "dough" together makes for a fun activity. They sure beat snacking on a candy bar during the afternoon slump, as the fats and whole grain keep you satisfied much longer, while the coffee and cocoa provide the perfect pick-me-up.

These are the perfect finger food for toddlers! They make a great breakfast or snack for on-the-go.

Crispy, crunchy, veggie-packed, deliciously stylish zucchini tots and cutlets. Because kids eat with their eyes first too!

I cooked apples that I stuffed with brown sugar and cinnamon over a campfire as a dessert for my family when we went camping. In the morning we had bacon with our breakfasts and the kids marinated the bacon in the leftover apples! The bacon was good but we ate the apples after and they where surprisingly good!

Don't toss out those potato peels! They make a very quick easy (and inexpensive) snack! Kids love them!

This is a great after-school snack. Feel free to add nuts or other things instead of chocolate chips.

This is a yummy milkshake. You can add some ice if you like it really cold.

These are so easy to make and addictive to eat! They are a hit with all my friends, some of whom just eat them without any dip. They are great on their own or with dessert hummus. Try them with my recipe for Pumpkin Pie Dessert Hummus; you won't be disappointed.

Fast, easy, simple, delicious. Even a klutz like me can manage to make it in no time. It adds a whole lot of flavor to those every day eggs. I made this recipe this morning. It was delicious and left me wanting more. Traditional tamagoyaki is not as flat and uses several eggs, but this is great when you just want a little snack or for breakfast. Kids with a sweet tooth will love it.

I made this meal for my grandma when I was a kid and it's super simple and a great idea for kids to make to start to learn how to cook!
