Snacks are like gold to kids. They crave them.
Okay, pause. Who are we kidding? Snacks are like gold to adults too.
I love surprising our girls with a fun and delicious homemade snack. Andrew and I have a standing Saturday date night to make cookies together as our way of bonding when we can’t do a date-night out of the house every weekend. It’s like if there was a sixth love language it would be feeding each snacks to friends.
Today, we put together a list of 5 Snacks that Pair Perfectly with Milk
-
Cranberry Walnut Oatmeal Cookies.
- We’d never ask you to turn your back on chocolate chip cookies, but if you are looking for an amazing secondary cookie to dip in milk, these cranberry walnut oatmeal cookies are it.

- This is seriously one of my favorite recipes ever. And I don’t particularly like chocolate cake. However, if I’m in the mood for cake this is a hit for everyone. Soft, delicate chocolate cake with a homemade raspberry sauce. It sounds like Valentine’s Day perfection, but truthfully it’s great year round.

Today, September 27th, is School Milk Day.
The Heifer School Milk Feeding Program is working today and everyday to bring awareness on communities who lack proper nutrition. Since 2008, they’ve been working on a program in Tanzania that has helped dairy farmers increase milk production. Now, however, they are working to create viable and diverse markers for dairy farmers.
The first phase of their program brought 1,742 students in the Njombe region fresh milk every day Monday-Friday during the school year. Their current goal is to provide 9,000 students (ages 9 and under) in the Njombe, Iringa, Mbeya, and Songwe regions with fresh milk every day for free.
How this helps
Supporting the Heifer School Milk Feeding Program allows children who suffer from a lack of proper nutrition to gain back some of that lost nutrition. Additionally, this program helps to empower students to learn, rather than having to focus on their hunger. It also creates a market for dairy producers and reduces poverty for farmers by increasing their income.
How can YOU help
You can help! For just 40 cents per day ($75/year) you can provide one student with fresh milk for an entire school year. Any donation size helps though. You can learn more about the program and donating at Heifer School Milk Feeding Program.
