Notes

A word on peanut butter & jelly:
Be sure to find options that do not contain hydrogenated oils or high fructose corn syrup. Your kids will enjoy better health without these harmful man-made additives, and it's easy to find substitutes without them.
A word on Flaxseed:
I learned recently that grinding your own flaxseed at home (with a simple coffee grinder or the like) is much healthier than buying it pre-ground. The grinding process releases the oils to the oxygen, which then breaks them down over time.
Try to buy the whole flaxseed and grind it up just before using.
