Feel free to comment today on the plethora of college football action, or ponder what Todd Starnes at Fox News found (as relayed by our Blondegator): The Obama administration wants to talk you out of your S’mores.
A blog from a communications functionary at the U.S. Forest Service wants to repeal the chocolate and replace the marshmallow with marshmallow creme for portion control, and how about fruit?
But there are some innovative ways to roast the little white treats that can help cut down on the amount of sugar intake by the kids, thus making bedtime a little more doable.
Think fruit.
Even if the kids – including us older ones – insist on more traditional s’mores, there are some healthy tricks. Grill thin slices of pineapple and substitute chocolate for the sweet, warm fruit. You will still get a tasty treat but by substituting with fruit, it is healthier – as long as you watch the amount of marshmallows used. If you want to cut down even more on calories, try using slices of angel food cake instead of graham crackers.
You can also get a little inventive and move away from s’mores.
