I made chocolate chip mandel break this weekend for the
kids. These are similar to biscotti, but
softer. We are trying to raise our kids
to avoid junk food and to teach them to maintain a healthy balance between
treats and other foods.
My oldest pointed to the cookie and asked, “Daddy is this
Junk?” I had to explain to him what we
consider junk food. I started to explain that we try to avoid processed and
artificial ingredients as much as we can.
I told him it is ok to eat a cookie or a piece of cake and that the homemade
version is a lot more healthy than any prepackaged or store-bought.
I think he is getting it and hopefully will be able to make
good decisions as he gets older.
