This month’s WIC-approved food is Nut Butter! 🥜 Nut butters are filled with nutritious fats and are high in protein, making them a great and tasty staple for snacks and meals!

Try creating a fun snack with your choice of nut butter. Make a plate of your family’s favorite fruits alongside a scoop of nut butter as a dip, or add a drizzle of nut butter to yogurt or smoothies for some extra flavor! 🍎🥣

Spinach-Cheesy Fritter🥚🧀🥬

-Turn your stove on medium heat
-Blend or mix all of these ingredients together in this order: 2 cups of spinach, 1 egg, 1/2 cup of shredded cheese, and 2 tablespoons of flour.
-If you have a blender, that would be easiest. Mix thoroughly.
-Then, pour the batter into a pan making small circles like pancakes.
-Let them cook for about 3 minutes on each side or until they can be picked up and look golden brown.
-Once done, you now have a healthy pancake fritter for your toddler, or a great baby led weaning snack!

Cinnamon Apple Chips
-Take the desired number of apples in the color that you want and wash them off.
-Core the apple if possible. Then cut the apples sideways into thin slices. *If you can't core before, you can cut the cores out of all of the slices afterwards.
-Then, grab a sheet pan and spread your apple slices out on the sheet evenly.
-Add a little flavor with lightly sprinkling cinnamon.
-After that, put them in the oven 200 degrees Fahrenheit for an hour. When the hour is done, take them out, flip them over, add a little more cinnamon and then put them back in for another hour. We want to make sure there is no moisture in the apples and that they are completely dried out. This gives them that chip like crunch! 😜
-After the second hour is up, you can pull them out of the oven. Once cool, enjoy!
-Store them in an airtight container!

Sweater weather is officially here, and that means one more thing to check before you buckle up: removing the bulky coat before buckling the car seat. A thick coat can compress in a crash, leaving the harness too loose to do its job. Buckle and secure the harness first, then you can add the coat over the top or use it as a blanket instead. This small move can make a big difference in how well the harness can protect your rider.
