Veggie Stix

I discovered something new... Veggie Stix. I like them. I will not lie, I don't LOVE them. You hand me a tortilla chip or a veggie stix and ask me to choose, I will choose the tortilla chip... with salsa... and a margarita. BUT if I were to choose the healthier option, I would go with Veggie Stix. These things are not so bad. AND I am eating veggies.

Even better...

MY SON WILL EAT THEM.

That statement alone is worth the overpriced bag (and you guys know how I feel about coupons and getting everything for CHEAP).

How did I discover these little yummies? Well, I love our church, and I mean I LOVE our church, but some of the moms there are a little bit more "green" than I personally am. Such as they love their veggies and shun the tasty flavor of meat (I do not). These moms also bring their children to nursery with their tofu dinners and their cloth diapers. I bring my kid to nursery with his generic brand diapers and his chocolate chip cookies and coke (haha.. I don't do that. Yet). I'm not saying one is good or bad, just different - okay, maybe my way is bad. This past Sunday I was watching this one little boy with these stixs and he was gnawing down on them as if he had been given a big bowl of french fries for the first time. And honestly, I wanted to gnaw down on them, they looked good! I asked the mom about them, and discovered you can get them at your grocery store (warning, they are pricey). I guess Trader Joe's does sell them for cheaper, but I rarely make it out there, so perhaps these will spur a special trip. I bought some at Publix, and Liam seriously ate them... AND ASKED FOR MORE. People.. that is a break through at our house. They are crunchy and look like french fries... so really... how could you go wrong.

Now.. I don't know a ton about looking at the side of a bag... (gasps from those who know my sweet mother is a dietitian). I have posted the nutrition facts for you to decide for yourself how "healthy" these are.

I like them.
