Healthy Snacking Tips

SocialMoms and Snyder's of Hanover has teamed up together and asked me to share with my readers a delicious recipe including pretzels as an ingredient and my healthy snacking tips,you can read more about this request here.

A great recipe that I came across and have tried myself is the Snyder's of Hanover Pretzel Crust Key Lime Pie! It's delicious and it includes Hanover's Pretzels!

 Snyder's of Hanover Pretzel Crust Key Lime Pie

Serves 8-10:

Pie Crust:

5 oz. miniature pretzels

3 T. sugar

1 stick butter, melted

Filling:

7 large egg yolks

2 (14-oz.) cans sweetened condensed milk

1 c. key lime juice (fresh or bottled)

Topping:

Coconut

Lime slice

Whipped cream, if desired

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

For crust, place pretzels in a food processor and pulse until pretzels have become fine crumbs. Transfer to a bowl and add sugar and melted butter. Stir to combine.

Press crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9" pie plate. Distribute evenly.

Bake for 15 minutes.

Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.

For filling, combine egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, and key lime juice. Whisk until well incorporated. Pour into cooled pie crust.

Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes. Center will still be slightly jiggly when taken out of oven and edges will JUST be beginning to brown. You don't want them to actually brown, so once you see signs of browning, remove from oven.

Cool on wire rack and then refrigerate for at least 6 hours before serving.

Garnish with a slice of lime and sprinkle coconut around edges

Whala! Your done! What a great tasting snack you will have!!Enjoy this with your family,It will make many smiles at the dinner table!!

Now for some of my healthy snacking tips:

• Use as less sugar as possible
• The more colorful your snacks are the best
• When you use a smaller plate you will feel full quicker
• Always try to stick to whole wheat products
• Never snack after 7pm,,or 3 hours before bedtime
• Always chew slowly
• Drink a sip of water between each bite

I hope my tips help you,I'd love to read some more tips! Please feel free to comment with some of your tips or recipes with using Hanover Pretzels!

About Snyder’s of Hanover
Our tradition of good taste dates back to 1909 when Harry V. Warehime, founder of Hanover Canning Company, our parent company until 1980, began producing Olde Tyme Pretzels for the Hanover Pretzel Company. In 1963, the Bechtel Pretzel Company, founded by Bill and Helen Bechtel in 1947, was purchased and incorporated into Snyder’s Bakery. Bill developed the original recipe for the Sourdough Hard Pretzel that is still enjoyed by consumers today. More info on Snyder’s of Hanover

Goals to Boost My Blogging Productivity

I have been blogging now for the past 3years and I'm just not happy with my productivity.I feel like I could be doing so much more with my blog,with so many options out there I can't seem to get it together the way I'd like it to be.One of my biggest problems is my schedule and organization.I'm all over the place bouncing, starting many projects but not finishing them then I skip to the next.I have to get focused and come up with a plan.This is where the blogging class  http://www.blogelina.com/ I participate in helps.I'm first going to have to make a list of goals for my blog and then stick to them.If I go in the order of my list of goals and finish things by the due dates I'd be on my way to boost my blogging productivity!

Here are my weekly goals I came up with:

Weekends:

Go over my blog to update it,add or delete any buttons or posts.Basically clean it up

Participate in blog hops

Clean out my email folders and catch up with emails

Do my class homework

Weekdays:

Type up at least one blog post

Do 2 things off my to do list that has deadlines

Enter 5-10 giveaways

Check out my emails

Visit and participate in 1-2 social sites

Tuesdays:

Attend Blogelina's online class

1x Per Month,usually on the 15th.

Host a giveaway hopefully for a company or myself

With these goals I really do plan to stick with them,I know with having narcolepsy sometimes it will be hard but I'm going to fight to complete my daily goals during school hours.The evenings are for my kids and housework!

Please feel free to post any of your goals - weekly,daily or monthly! However you plan to accomplish them I'd really love to read about it!

Healthy Food Choices Round Up

I know many of us set out to eat more healthier for the New Year,but let's face the fact that some of us (including myself) end up on the crash diet wagon! If your like me then you love to drink those sugary drinks that are no good for you.We know it's a big "No-No"but what else is left? I hate to drink plain water,to me it just don't have any taste.However,this past week I had the opportunity to sample Hint Water,I'm so impressed with the taste!!

Hint Water is a fruit-infused,all natural essence water that contains no sugar,calories,artificial sweeteners or preservatives!! Yes,as I mentioned above I love sweet drinks so this is a great alternative for me now!

With so many flavors to choose from my favorite is the Blackberry and Raspberry-Lime,it tastes so good and it kept me very hydrated without giving up the great tasting flavor.You have to try it!!

The flavors are: Pear,Watermelon,Cucumber,Honeydew Hibiscus,Blackberry,Mango-Grapefruit,Lime,

Pomegrante-Tangerine,Raspberry-Lime,Strawberry-Kiwi

Visit: http://www.drinkhint.com/  for more information

Another great product I tried out was a USANA Nutrition Bar in the Oatmeal Raisin:

I have to say once again I was very impressed! I always loved oatmeal raisin bars but the unhealthy one's found in the cupcake isles! Well this USANA Oatmeal Bar was more tastier,it has a home-baked cookie taste that is so delicious! Can you believe it's low fat,cholesterol free and a good source of fiber?? After I ate it I did feel satisfied.

USANA Nutrition Bars are available in a variety of flavors such as the oatmeal raisin and chocolate fusion and specifically touted as a healthy heart product and offer a low-glycemic score!!
