Day Four- snacks





Weigh in-
Cameron - 136.5
Connor- 116.5

I am quite surprised by this. Three pounds since Monday.
Again...could it just be the removal of ice cream and sweet snacks??

I see Connor snacking on apples like I have never seen. He is at the wrestling club 4 night a weeks and again on Sundays. Cameron is still running Cross Country and has never had a big appetite ( except for ice cream...) he is chomping on apples, nuts and raisins - an ocassional slice of bread.

It is amazing what happens when you remove the snacky foods.

I am trying to have a healthy snack waiting when they get home.

Here is a quick snack idea that takes minutes to make.

Sweet Potato Chips

Preheat oven at 375
2-3 sweet pototoes - washed and scrubbed
cut into four long sections
put into Cuisinart and cut thin ( or cut by hand- they will probably be thicker)
Spray a cookie sheet with olive oil pam or use olive oil
place potatoes on the sheet in oven - set timer for 15 minutes
turn potatoes over - cook another 15 minutes
sprinkle with sea salt

They are delicious. Can be used as side for a sandwich or an entree.
