Autumn wheat cereal from Kashi

I have had a lot of success with Kashi products. These wheat cereal pillows looked like a good snack to introduce to the kids but the twins rejected them. I think it's because they are too dry to eat straight.

Grain beryy thinny-thin thins from The Silver Palate

I am on my third box of these thinny-thin thins from the Silver Palate. These are some tasty crackers (AND only 2 grams of sugar per serving) - my son agrees with me, my daughter not really.

Cheese straws from Archer Farms

A savory snack which the twins refused because it had a real kick to it. But it was really cheesy too - in a nice way that is. I will reintroduce in a few months when they can handle more spicy stuff.

Sourdough squares from Archer Farms

Iam always on the lookout for savory snacks for the twins. These sourdough squares looked like a good bet but the twins didn't take to them. I think they were a bit too hard for them.

Kellog's special K chocolatey delight.

The chocolate in it tastes like wax. Shudder. The flakes though are a totally different story. They are large, crisp and lightly sweetened. The kids saw me pouring it into a bowl one morning and wanted to try.

The individual flakes make a nice snack for them - they can keep eating and eating and not fill up. I usually give them a few before meals (sort of an appetizer while Iam scrambling to put a meal together) when they are fussy.

Whole wheat parathas from Kawan

I use these whole wheat parathas from Kawan to make quesadillas. These are great for on the go too. The twins like them for the most part - I have to get the amount of shredded cheese I put in there just right. Too much and it's too salty for them, too little and it's just not enticing enough (I think.)

Omega-3 milk

I have switched to omega-3 (my second obsession, first being whole grains) milk. The kids are actually asking for and drinking milk occasionally now.
