Looking to have a stress-free March break? Here are a four (4) snacks you can prep ahead to make your life a little easier.

Veggie Stix: Cut up carrots, celery and cucumbers into sticks. Store them in an air-tight glass container or mason jar and place a damp piece of paper towel in the container to prevent the veggies from drying out

Chocolate Chip Muffins:

In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.

Pour oil into another bowl, add egg, milk and vanilla extract. Whisk until combined.

Pour into flour mixture and mix just until batter is combined. Fold in chocolate chips and scoop into muffin cups. Sprinkle with some additional sugar on top (optional).
