NOTE: These snacks are only toxin & chemical free if you read the labels of the snacks before buying.  Of course, anything you can buy organic is preferred.  I know, I know it seems like a lot of work, but really once you get in the habit of buying different brands than the mainstream, you will LOVE it!

Another NOTE: You’ll see the microwave method of cooking suggested in the post, but it’s not the healthiest.  In reality we know most families use a microwave, our family chooses cast iron skillets and our NuWave oven.
