Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Where do you find the time?
I’m not sure. My kids play well together as well as independently (sometimes). I watch a heck of a lot less TV than I used to. And my house is not as clean as it once was.
Making snacks with my kids, taking photos, and writing about it is my escape. I need it. Some moms read romance novels or go rock climbing, I blog. I am learning so much about food now that I’ve started really paying attention. It’s very rewarding.
2. Where do you find all those cute bowls?
The ones that catch your eye are mostly from Asian groceries. The real work horses in my kitchen are various white bowls and ramekins from Crate & Barrel, Pier One and the like.
3. How can I encourage my family to give healthier snacking a try?
Let the kids “shop” on Fix Me A Snack and tell you which snacks they would like to try. Enlisting their help in preparing the food can sometimes help as well. Most of all, don’t go to too much trouble and don’t give up.

4. Are you a nutritionist or something?
No. Just a regular Joe.
