Have you ever seen a kid eat an “ants on a log” before? Ya, me neither. It’s just not something that happens in Minnesota. But it happens. And when it does happen, I’m pretty sure I always wanted to eat one…and yet never actually did. How come? Well…despite my curiosity, they looked weird, and like the kind of thing, you’d get food poisoning from. Or maybe I was afraid food poisoning would give me ants on my stomach (I think I liked to say “stomach” instead of belly when I was young). Or maybe I didn’t know what sort of ingredients went into making them and knowing that there are ants involved left me wondering about cross-contamination. What dastardly recipe could possibly be so villainous that it needs a name so sinister? It’s … ants on a log. An obvious play on words from “ants in your pants” (a phrase used to describe children who can’t sit still), this admittedly creepy craft is sure to bring a smile to the face of kids of all ages. The best part? You’re using nutritious produce as the host body. It’s also an excellent way to make use of those leftover baby carrots sitting lonely in your fridge. A classic camping snack, ants on a log is an entree that even the pickiest eaters love. So if you are looking for a gluten-free, sugar-free, and low-calorie way to serve up dinner or snacks to your little ones, this is the recipe for you.3 oz or 4 small apples peeled and sliced thin
