6 olives
1/2 stalk celery, cut into cubes

Well, it’s official… school has started and is in full swing here. My daughter, a first-grader, went back on August 24th. My four-year-old son started preschool last week. (Don’t they grow so FAST?!)

My daughter is in school all day this year, she eats lunch at 11:00 at comes home at 3:00- super hungry! We’ve been trying some of the snacks from Dawn Goldberg’s After School Snacks e-cookbook. Check it out, it’s filled with some terrific snack ideas and nutritional information AND it’s on sale until the end of October
