School begins this month, and it is so hard to believe that summer break has essentially come and gone. We’ve started working through our school supply list, and I have been planning out lunches and snacks for each school day. My kids love snack mixes, so I always try to keep one or two on hand for them to pack in their lunch each day. We tend to make things like easy ranch snack mix that allows the kids to help put it together, which means they are even more likely to eat it!

You guys…it is Paleo Monday! For me that it is totally a thing as I reset after my free eating weekends and get back on track for my week of paleo eats. Today, I am sharing with you one of my current snack obsessions. This paleo avocado toast is so amazingly good that you are going to want to devour it even if you aren’t following the paleo guidelines for food. So, maybe we should just call this the best snack…ever.

Salted Pretzel Ice Cream Bites

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Safeway, Inc.. All opinions are 100% mine.

Do you love ice cream? Who doesn’t, right?! I am a huge ice cream fan and haven’t really met many flavors that I don’t like. Anything with peanut butter in it is a winner for sure. I was trying to decide on a fun ice cream treat to make with my daughter and stumbled upon some Edy’s® Peanut Butter Cup Frozen Custard. Now, I could have eaten it alone but we decided it would be fun to use some salted pretzel snack bars to make salted pretzel ice cream bites.

Snacks. They are totally my weakness. I am almost always on the go so snacks tend to become my meals and meals never actually happen. I always look for snacks that are easy to carry along with me and taste great. If they have a little crunch and sweetness to them, like this triple berry granola, then the snack is a total winner.

Turkey, Apple and Brie Bites

October 9, 2014 By Shannah Coe Leave a Comment

I am always excited to partner with quality food brands like Hillshire Farm. As always, even though this post was compensated, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

I don’t think I’ve talked much about some of my recent changes in eating. I’ve cut out a lot bread and pasta items that I used to eat all the time. I still enjoy them from time to time but they don’t dominate my meals as much. Instead, I like to combine protein with fruits and vegetables whenever possible. It seems like I am always short on time so being able to have a few items on hand that I can grab on go is key. One of my newest favorite grab and go items are these turkey, apple and brie bites.

Poppyseed Lemonade Muffins {Guest Post}

August 27, 2014 By Shannah Coe Leave a Comment

One thing that blogging has brought me is an introduction to lots of other blogs and even actually meeting some of the faces behind those blogs. I got to meet Katie this past April and she is super sweet and so amazingly talented. I am so thrilled that she is here sharing her Poppyseed Lemonade Muffins with you all today.

*********************************************************

Hi Just Us Four readers! I’m Katie from Made to be a Momma. Over at Made to be a Momma you will find everything from diy sewing tutorials, home decor, kids crafts and recipes. One of my favorite things to do is to cook and bake for my family. In my life my motto is “keep it simple.” I don’t have time every night to cook a full course meal or spend countless hours in the kitchen. One of go to “must-haves” to make dinner a bit more special is homemade rolls or muffins. I especially like making muffins because they don’t require any time to rise like some recipes for rolls do. I love all the variety of muffins there are- you can have sweet, spicy and even savory. They can compliment any meal.

I love to snack! I could probably skip meals all together and just focus on snacking throughout the day if my family didn’t rely on me to provide them with meals. I especially love The Laughing Cow® spreadable cheese wedges as part of my snacks because they are the perfect size and come in all kinds of flavors. Right now, The Laughing Cow® is on a mission to #ReinventSnacking and I am so excited to be a part of the movement. I like to have a little spice in my snacks so I created a spicy pepper jack snack the other day that may be my brand new favorite.

My kids are total grazers. They want to eat a million snacks and then skip any actual meals.

Of course, we want to make snacks fun too so I created two easy back to school snack ideas that are sure to be a hit with kids and make parents feel better about what is going in those little stomachs!
