September 12 – Ants on a Log Day

n(Second Tuesday in September)

n

nThere’s a holiday for a cutesy children’s snack?

n

nWell, why not? If there can be a Cheeseburger Day and a Gumdrop Day (just to name two of hundreds of food days), why not a special day for a food that has been popular AND HEALTHY for more than half a century?

n

nAnts on a Log is traditionally made by spreading peanut butter on a washed, trimmed celery stalk and then placing several raisins on top.

n

nBut some people prefer cream cheese instead of peanut butter. And some vary the “ants” by using golden raisins:

n

nThere are loads of other cutesy snacks and foods kids love to eat. Check out this Pinterest page for a bunch of ideas.
