It’s nearly that time again. I’m sure all of you mother’s out there know what I’m talking about. It’s that moment when your kids arrive home from school and eat everything in sight, as if they haven’t eaten a morsel since you packed them off this morning. How then do you keep them from being bored and not always grabbing for the sugary nonsense snacks?
Trick them! It’s the best thing about being a Mom. You can lie without impunity in order to keep them safe and healthy - right? I have one of the greatest recipe lies out there in the food trickery world. They think they are getting a decadent, sugary snack, when in fact they are getting a single or even double serving of fruit and a serving of dairy and they’ll be begging for more. How’s that for a trick?
2 blocks of Neufchatel cheese (sold with the cream cheese, but lots lower in fat)
OR
2 blocks of fat free cream cheese
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla or vanilla powder
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup of milk
Bring the cheese to room temperature. Cream together the ingredients until smooth and refrigerate for 1 hour. Serve with sliced apples. Keep unused portion in the refrigerator for tomorrow (or later tonight when you get the munchies!).
