Kids Spooktacular Veggie Halloween Treats
Halloween is almost here and many parents worry about the amount of junk food that is going to be widely distributed. Candies and other goodies are a normal part of the festivities, but sometimes the sugars and syrupy concoctions are not quite what a parent wants their children to be eating. So what are the alternatives? Believe it or not you can make some veggie Halloween treats that will delight a child and have them coming back to request seconds, and thirds.
If you want to go the pre-packaged route then you should check out the shelves at your nearby health food or organic food stores. You can substitute small packs of dried fruit and granola mixes for the usual packs of candy. Kids enjoy these treats and there are many different varieties available.
Also you will be able to find pretzels, cookies and chips that are made especially to appeal to trick or treating children. The recipes used are healthy enough to suit any discerning parent, and kids will love them. Most stores will let you sample the foods before you buy them so that you can find the types of healthy products that you like best. Chips that are made from tomatoes, sweet potatoes and other veggies are extremely tasty and colorful. If you do not inform your child about the healthy nature of these delicious snacks they will never know the difference.
Maybe you would prefer to make a few treats at home instead of buying them at the store. There are lots of different veggie Halloween ideas that you can use. You might want to dip some dried fruit sections into some melted carob or organic chocolate. If you have a home food dehydrator you can even dry the fruit yourself. Just skewer a small chunk of dried apricot, apple or pineapple with a toothpick and dip it quickly into some of the melted chocolate and then set the fruit pieces on some wax paper to cool and harden. Before the chocolate becomes firm you can sprinkle a bit of freshly grated coconut onto the surface for an added taste blast.
Choose some firm, crisp apples and skewer them with a Popsicle stick through the core. Instead of dipping them in that sticky caramel or red, cinnamon candy coating you can go natural and dip them in some organic honey. Then you can coat them with a layer of crushed graham cookies or granola. You might even want to sprinkle the honey coated apple with some trail mix or coarsely ground pecans. Let your imagination be your guide, and do not forget to let your kids have some input. Their ideas may lead to some surprisingly delicious taste treats.
Prepare a haunted buffet table for Halloween that is simple but absolutely (Spooktacular). The key ingredient is the name that you choose for each food item. A bowl of grapes (peeled is best, but unpeeled will work) can become "ghostly eyeballs". A container of cooked spaghetti that you have sprinkled with Parmesan Cheese can be named "Wriggly Witchy Worms". Even a rather plain platter of cut celery can become a welcome Halloween treat. Just slice the celery into different lengths. Combine 1 cup of peanut butter with 1/3 cup clover honey and 1 cup of raisins in a food processor or blender. Fill the celery crevices with this mixture and arrange the slices on a platter. Then name the dish (Bat Bones) or some other clever title. You will be amazed how tempting these healthy dishes are for guests of all ages. Who can resist veggie Halloween treats that are this much fun to make and eat?

Picnic Food Ideas For Children
I can think of few summertime activities that are more fun for a family than a picnic. Adults love them, children love them - even pets love them! Your children in particular will take great delight in a family picnic on a nice summer day. One problem people run into is that children do not always like to eat "adult food". If that is the case, then you can prepare picnic food ideas for children that they are sure to enjoy. These three ideas below, when combined, can make for a complete and tasty picnic for children, be it at the park, in your home, or at school.
Picnic Food Ideas for Children: Classic PB&J Sandwich
Any discussion about picnic food for children has to start with the classic kid sandwich of all time: the peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Children love these simple yet tasty sandwiches, and you will start to love them too due to the short amount of time and fuss that it takes to make them. All you need is two slices of bread, peanut butter, and jelly. My favorite type is strawberry, but to really mix it up, make the sandwiches with strawberry jelly on one side and grape on the other. Mix and match flavors. That way, you can cut the sandwiches in half and let the children trade with each other for their favorite flavor, or let them be adventurous and sample a two-flavor PB&J. Either way, it should be a fun twist on an old classic.
Picnic Food Ideas for Children: Desserts
Desserts are must-have items for a kids' picnic. One of the best ones you can have is watermelon. Just grab a watermelon and some paper plates and you are in business. Kids love watermelon because it is tasty and easy to eat. You will be reassured to know that it is mostly water, and is a good way to hydrate your children - especially if it's a hassle to get them to drink enough water.
Another great choice is to let them make their own ice cream desserts. Bring a sampling of ice cream flavors - like vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, etc. Bring an assortment of toppings too, like strawberry sauce, chocolate sauce, caramel, sprinkles, sliced strawberries, sliced bananas, gummy bears, crushed Oreos, etc. Then, give each kid a bowl and let them make their own sundae. They will definitely be into this activity - and will be more than happy to eat their handiwork.
Picnic Food Ideas for Children: Apples and Caramel
One of the best ideas for a nice, healthy snack is to bring apples and caramel dipping sauce. You can either buy some pre-made dipping sauce at the store, or make your own. To do this, take some caramel candy blocks and melt them in a saucepan over low heat. Then, you can take some green apples and slice them, and bring them along with the caramel. The kids will then have a tasty yet nutritious snack to hold them over while they play.
