Oyster crackers are fun toppers for chili, stews, or soups, but they can also be a toddler friendly snack. Both of my kids love to munch on a handful of oyster crackers at snack time. Just like with any other toddler snack, they may love oyster crackers one week and can’t stand them for a…
I used to be a huge fan of white flour tortillas, until I tried out Whole Wheat tortillas from the WIC program.
