It's that time of year again when we can no longer hide under our long pants and hoodies  (dang it!) The warm weather is here and so are the short sleeves and swim suits! I love summer time, and I am determined to eat a healthier so I can show off a little more leg! Ha Ha! (Not a lot of leg.... just from the knee down)

Anyways... my husband and I have decided that we were going to try hard and eat healthy snacks this summer for me and my whole family. I put together a list so I could get some ideas! This isn't a list of pre packaged snacks... these are tried and true healthy snacks! Here's to Healthy Eating!
