Okay, so tomorrow you wont be eating anything your Great Grandma wouldn’t eat; now, how will you remain active?

Assuming fireworks will be part of your day, park far away. Enjoy a long walk to the show. You’ll have a long walk back, but you won’t have to sit in traffic. I’ll take a long walk back to the car over a traffic jam any day. You’ve just fit in some exercise, saved the environment some exhaust fumes, spent your time wisely, and celebrated the fourth. It’s a win win.

We always try to help you stay healthy around picnic events that inspire people to gorge themselves on goodies. It can be hard to pass on a beloved Aunt’s famous brownies (or in my case cheese dip).

My mom has started making these wonderful treats called Oreo Cookie Balls. Whenever they wind up at a picnic, everyone wants the recipe. We have renamed them “Crack Balls” because they are so good, you can’t stop yourself from just popping them in your mouth–oh yes, they are conveniently bite-sized. In addition to being delicious they are, no doubt, terrible for you.

The three main ingredients are Oreo cookies, cream cheese, and vanilla almond bark. What the later ingredient is, I don’t know, but I do know it’s hard to find and that white chocolate is not a very good substitute. So, how does getting your mouth watering for Oreo Cookie Crack Balls, help you stay on track this fourth of July?

You’re not going to eat them or anything that falls into the same category. You may have heard a new trend about not eating anything your great-grandma wouldn’t recognize. […]
