A few weeks before Spring Break, I hit that point where the kids were coming home and raiding the pantry because I was too busy trying to keep it all together with work and school, and their schoolwork, and family time, and SLEEP, that I just could not prep an after school snack on top of it all. I sort of felt like I was failing them, but knew it was also OK to not always have something prepped beforehand. Just because my mom did it, didn’t mean I had to.
Now that spring break is behind us, and I was able to recharge family time, and sleep, I feel like I have the time to make them more after school snacks. Browsing Weekend Bites last week led me to these fabulous ideasI know my kids will love. You can’t have a snack without the classic chocolate chip cookie, and these Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies from Love to Be In the Kitchen look fantastic!
Yesterday I was thinking about my sister and one of her favorite snacks were cheese crisps. She’s slice some cheese and toss it in the microwave. It would bubble, and you’d think it was dying, but then it would harden into this awesome cheese crisp. When I saw these Parmesan Cheese Crisps on The Parenting Patch it was like she read my mind.
As a teen, and even now, I love a good chip and dip. My kids have caught me dip handed a number of times and made me share too. There’s just something about that creamy dip with a crunchy chip that is perfect. Sugar, Spice and Family Life made a mouthwatering BLT Dip I know our whole house would gather around after school.
Not every snack has to be a treat, though. Some like this Banana Carrot Muffin from Silver Foodie are better for you, and still taste fantastic.
Do you make After School Snacks?
