I remember sitting at my 8th grade graduation {yes, that’s a thing} getting so excited to start high school. There were quite a lot of reasons to look forward to starting a new school of course, but what I looked forward to the most was the freedom.
You could pick your own classes, sign up for sports, and park wherever you wanted. I was incredibly dismayed to learn there really wasn’t so much freedom after all. I mean, you couldn’t even in eat in class. Blasphemy. How was a growing teenager supposed to last 3 whole hours between first period and lunch? Don’t even get me started on how long you had to wait to eat if you had last lunch. Torture. Just torture.
I quickly learned to keep my locker stashed with snacks I could quickly grab and chow down on in between classes. I’ve always been a snacker and don’t see anything wrong with that- it’s a great way to keep from getting too hungry and scarfing down more food than you need later in the day.
Here are some of my favorite quick and easy snacks:
Thank goodness you were allowed to eat in class in college. 😉

For the past few months I’ve been working with Glam Media and it’s been a great experience. I’m excited to share with you a new venture they’ve just launched, Foodie.com, a world where foodies can connect over great recipes. I’m thrilled to be part of the Foodie 100, a group of bloggers involved with the launch. Now you can get involved too! Visit Foodie.com to learn more.
As part of the Foodie program, I’ve been given the opportunity to work with some great brands. {As per usual, I only choose to work with brands I like, agree with, and would support in a relationship outside of sponsorship, etc.} Today I’m sharing a recipe using a product from one of those brands, Activia.
Activia Harvest Picks offer four flavors of creamy, smooth, fruit filled yogurt: peach, cherry, mixed berries, and strawberry.
I chose to try the cherry flavor and I wasn’t disappointed; it’s got a great texture and true fruit flavor. I’ve been adding a scoop to my pre-made smoothies in the morning, along with a handful of frozen cherries. Finding an easy and fast way to eat breakfast has been a big priority lately- it’s not easy to fit in something healthy {or at all!} when the baby wakes up hungry and needs to eat {NOW, mom!} After eating there tends to be some crying and fighting sleep, along with a diaper change or two. Before I know it, it’s almost lunch time and I’m literally starving.
Having something ready to go without any morning-of prep and the ability to eat it with one hand has been essential. Enter oatmeal muffins with a twist: cherry yogurt and dried cherries!
