Autumn vegetable snacks

[ZebraStripes]

Help!! I've been tasked with providing vegetable snacks for my DD8 "Autumn" party on Friday. I'd like to try something different from the routine vegetable platter from the supermarket. I've found one thing, ants a log. Does anyone have any other ideas for me, a very not-creative mom?

here are a few ideas that I found, I hope this gives you some ideas


Rather than throw away pumpkin seeds, cook them! Follow this recipe for tasty roasted seeds:

Preheat oven to 350

Wash pumpkin seeds carefully, removing the orange pumpkin strings.

For every 2 cups of pumpkin seeds in a bowl, mix in 2 tablespoons of oil and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir until all seeds are coated.

Lay seeds on baking sheets until they form one layer over the whole sheet.

Cook seeds for 12-15 minutes, until golden

Celery stalks

Trim roots and cut off leaves of celery;
separate stalks and wash. Cut into 4 inch
lengths. Taper narrow end for broom handle.
Cut other end into many fine strips, 1 inch
long to make brush part. Chill in ice water
until brush strips separate and slightly curl.
Use to scoop up your favorite dip or spread
with peanut butter.

I know that I'm not being helpful, but I vote for POTATO chips. Sorry, couldn't resist and I'm just not one of those veggie-snack-creating-kind-of-moms. But I wish you luck!

FOJMO - Ants on a log is celery with peanut butter and raisins on top.

llebrekniT - I'm with you!! I was thinking of sweet potato chips! Don't think it will go over too well though! Hmmm...doritos are made from corn and fried in corn oil....maybe that might work too!
