In reply to tracey. Triscuits are quite unlike other packaged snack crackers: they're made of only three ingredients, are genuinely whole grain, and contain no flour of any kind. I don't know how anyone could ever make their own Triscuits! "...[whole grains of] wheat is first cooked in water until its moisture content reaches about 50%. It is then tempered, allowing moisture to diffuse evenly into the grain. The grain then passes through a set of rollers with grooves on one side, yielding a web of shredded wheat strands. Many webs are stacked together, and this moist stack of strands is crimped at regular intervals to produce individual pieces of cereal with the strands attached at each end. These then go into an oven, where they are baked until their moisture content is reduced to five percent... Triscuit crackers [are] sprayed with oil and lightly salted."

I love your website and so many of your recipes. The only thing that would make it better is if you added nutritional information.

We love popcorn in our house too. If we want to add something to the popcorn, we do shaved parmesan cheese. It gives it some kick and extra protein. But I agree about eating it plain. Kids can get used to it and will eat it up on its own. I consider popcorn the best snack for calories, fiber and antioxidants. Plus, I use any extra for their lunches the next day. Yum!

I love air popped popcorn! It is a staple in any house that needs non processed snacks. And just because alot of popcorn has fake butter and salt, that dose'nt mean popcorn is bad for you!

Lisa - Do you have Real Food snack suggestions for babies? My daughter is 9 months old and I can't find anything store bought that isn't highly processed (Organic or not). Her daycare keeps asking to give her Puffs, which I am firmly against, but I can't find any other options.

In reply to tracey. Hi Tracey. The list is meant to serve as some suggestions. For us, they fall within the "5 ingredients or less" rule. But, you can simply choose not to include them in your own snack list if they don't work for you. Jill

seriously? you listed triscuits-processed crackers-sorry that should not be on your real food snack list. Make them yourself or use an apple slice with cheese or a carrot dipped in a bean goat cheese dip made in 2 seconds in a food processor.
