Homeschool Memoirs #7: Snack Foods
* This post may contain affiliate links or sponsored content. *
I haven’t participated in the last couple of Homeschool Memoirs from The Homeschool Post because I haven’t had anything noteworthy to add for the last two topics. However, my kids snack from the time they get up until the time they go to bed, so I guess I have some experience in the area of snacking. Some of our favorites include:
- Raw carrots with dressing (it’s amazing what just slicing up a carrot does to make it more appealing)
- fruit (grapes and apples are favorites)
- Rice Krispy treats
- Popcorn (I can’t tell you how much of this we go through)
- Leftovers (My kids like meals for snacks. I’ll frequently save little bits of leftovers that don’t appear to be enough for anything. Somebody will eat them!)
- Trail mix (raisins, chocolate chips, dried apple, mixed nuts…yum!)
- Applesauce
- My sister’s idea — the “dipper” shaped graham crackers, dipped in peanut butter, then in raisins
- Chips and dip (There wasn’t a disclaimer that they had to be healthy snacks, was there?)
- Black olive
- Grape or cherry tomatoes
- Homemade “Chex” mix — We like to mix Goldfish, Cheerios and pretzels. That’s it. You don’t even have to bake it and the kids love it.
- Rice pudding (okay, I’m the only one who likes it)
- Pudding or Jell-O in individual snack cups
- Sandwiches (Yes, I have a son who considers a sandwich to be a snack)
- Tuna, cheese, or pimento cheese and crackers
- Dry cereal
- Sunflower seeds and/or nuts
I’m sure I’ll think of something else, but that’s all that comes to mind right now. What does your crew like to snack on?
