Blast off to healthy snacking with this rocket ship that kids love to make and eat! Teaching my family about whole foods and good nutrition is important to me. We enjoy creating allergy-safe recipes together and making food allergies fun — we call it Snacking with Joy. This recipe contains no nuts, no eggs and no gluten.
