I saw this post online today and thought you and your kids might be interested in giving it a try.

To be honest, this is not one that I’ve experimented with, but it looks easy and green as long as you substitute the materials listed in the instructions with the following eco ones (whenever possible):

Over the next few weeks, we’re going to be featuring some delicious and healthy recipes that are featured in the forthcoming (10/09) cookbook book, Many Paths, One Journey to Health, written and published by Holistic Moms Network (HMN).

I am SO excited to announce that LARABAR MINIs are now available for sale!

They’re perfect for Halloween and, in fact, are part of the inspiration behind the Green Halloween initiative.

My kids and their friends have always LOVED the taste (trick-or-treaters do too). I love them because they are made of whole, real, nutritious foods such as dates, nuts and fruits. Something for everyone.

And they have flavors for everyone, too.

My older daughter goes wild over Cinnamon Roll. My younger one, Ginger Snap. Hubby goes bananas over Banana Bread.

Me? I could practically live on Peanut Butter Cookie.
