No one has volunteered to make a healthy snack for the Valentine’s Day party at Anya’s preschool. We’ve come up with something cute for all of the other parties … thought we’d make a thing of it. Now we’re trying to decide \u00a0what to make.<\/p>\n

My mom found these cute gelatin desserts<\/a>, but that’s still a dessert.<\/p>\n

I would love to make this\u00a0caprese salad<\/a>, but anything with a balsamic drizzle is going to be messy. I found a coconut cream fruit tart<\/a> that is both too dessert-y\u00a0and<\/em> too messy. I think I’ll make both of these for home!<\/p>\n

Heart pita chips<\/a> with roasted red pepper hummus (to get some red) or heart shaped whole wheat soft pretzels<\/a> (the recipe provided isn’t whole wheat, but King Arthur Flour has a good recipe using their white whole wheat<\/a>\u00a0but I’ve also seen a good recipe for ‘normal’ whole wheat pretzels too<\/a>) are good options.<\/p>\n

My favorite option right now is\u00a0cut-out sandwiches with sunflower butter and raspberry compote to make something that looks like these peanut butter and jelly sandwiches<\/a>. It’s potentially messy, though … so not great for the teachers. I think the soft pretzels\u00a0are going to be the easiest to serve & eat. Pita chips and hummus have the advantage of including some vegetables.<\/p>\n
