Remember not long ago, when Megan Prusynski wrote about better-for-you snacks and treats in her post, “My Top Ten Quick, Healthy, Sustainable Snacks“? And Sharon Troy wrote “Seven Eco-Friendly Options For Less Junky Junk Food“? These two showed you can make whole foods-based snacks (or at least buy organic snacks at Whole Foods). How about a hybrid of the two?
Several food bloggers have tried their take on homemade breakfast pastries–you know, the ones you put in the toaster, the ones that kids love? The ones that are chock full of additives and preservatives? Try making your own. If you want a sweet treat for breakfast without buying prepackaged and processed, check out Tarah at Genesis of a Cook‘s recipe for homemade pop tarts–complete with sprinkles that kids will love. For a even better-for-you version, Chez Pim‘s luscious-looking jam-filled tarts look like heaven on a baking sheet. And The Spotted Apron‘s raspberry-lemon-filled tarts sound perfect for a summer breakfast. Personally, I’ll be trying out Chez Pim’s recipes as soon as I start making my own jam.

A former high school teacher, I'm currently a part-time writer/full-time doctoral student at the University of St. Thomas in the Twin Cities, studying leadership in education from a critical pedagogy perspective along with public policy. On the green side, I'm interested in local food and agriculture (Iowa girl, born and raised), sustainability education, DIY projects, and grassroots activism. I'm slowly turning my South City, St Louis home into an urban farmstead. On the hoping-to-be-greener side, I love reading, yoga, soccer, music, backpacking, knitting, pop culture and trivia, my Tuesday Night Dinner Club, traveling, Guitar Hero, dive bars, and sitting on front porches with my husband and a cold beer. I came to Green Options via a post on Sustainablog,working the St Louis angle to get Jeff to let me in. I have a personal blog chronicling (what else?) life in South St. Louis. Follow me on Twitter!
