I’ve become a conscientious consumer and have been teaching my family the importance of being one too. I pay attention to ingredients on everything my family and I eat. Some would say that I am not allowing my child to have a ‘normal’ childhood because I won’t let my 3 year old have candy or a lot of the junk food out there. I read food labels (primarily list of ingredients). I am also teaching my son to check labels for any numbers and when he sees them to know that it has yucky stuff in it. I know that many foods we consider staples, I will buy organic. Other ingredients that I avoid at all most other times are: artificial dyes, high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners and hydrogenated oils. When we eat out which is infrequent it’s harder to know what’s in the foods so I say that if we are eating well at home then the occasional time out to eat is okay or considered ‘in-moderation’ and I let it slide. Then I go home and double up on my Juice Plus+ Orchard & Garden capsules- which are free of all yucky ingredients! =)
We placed the pretzels in the fridge for the chocolate to harden. We’ll keep them stored there until all gone or 5 days whichever comes first. I think 'all gone' will be first because we’ll be sharing them with friends this week. We made roughly 3 dozen pretzels.
Ingredients:
Pretzel Rods, broken in half
Baker's Dipping Chocolate, melted
Baker's Sweetened Coconut, toasted
Maggie's Naturals Food Coloring
Ground Almonds (Use a Vitamix or other food processor)
