Let me explain the "Splurges".
I make granola for the kids to eat, with milk in it, as a cold breakfast. I add a handful of chocolate chips to that. I also made clean chocolate chip oatmeal cookies one day for an after school snack. I have a boy who hates raisins, so I can't make oatmeal raisin. I only add a small amount of chocolate chips! And the ice cream is for the kids as well. Just because I want to eat clean doesn't mean that they can't have a few goodies every now and then. It's not like I'm sending kool aid and Cheetos in their lunches. I think they deserve treats!
Look for my next post about snacks! I know you can't all spend the day in the kitchen! My snacks are easy to make and take just a small amount of time in the kitchen!
