Easy lunches, snacks, etc for visiting kids


Posted: Mar 17, 2013

Hopefully some little friends of mine, 9 and 11, will be spending some time with me this summer and I need some ideas about quick and easy lunches and snacks for them. They are not picky at all, like vegetables as well as fruits but it has been years since I had to plan for smaller ones like these and would appreciate any input you would have regarding this. TIA;

snacks-tater tots, tuna crackers, PBJ crackers. - etc...

as long as they like healthy veggies/fruits you can finger food just about anything with a dip/salad dressing/or melted candies, cheese.

granny smith apples with cheddar cheese slices is good for a snack, or with melted caramels for dipping - the Kraft caramels, not the premade caramel dips those are not good.



If you really have time... - you might try

making bento boxes for some of their lunches. You can find recipe ideas on line. The ones I've seen are really cute, and show the lucky recipient how much you care, plus you get to be creative. Get them something like a Hello Kitty to hold the goodies (not too pricey), and they'll have a lovely souvenir of your time together when they go back home.

For snacks: Go-Gurts (10 per box $2), mozarella sticks, Cuties (mandarin oranges), fat or sugar free pudding cups (4 for $1).

For lunches: Quesadillas (tortillas and cheese), Nutella on bread and apple slices, Lunchables with Smoothies, corndog with Cuties.

I know this sounds like a lot to me but I don’t want them bored to tears. We are planning trips while they are here but then the work days are still hanging around in between. Any other suggestions some of you mothers have for the time you have to be at the keyboard? ...

Having 3 kids sleep over for Halloween, looking for something simple to make that is not too sweet.

Have never been to this church, know about it and the pastor is well known in America. I have read reports about their standing, singing with band, loud blaring music because the auditorium is huge for almost an hour and cameras all over the place filming people close up I guess for the TV crowd. I am so not into this. I was brought up wearing dresses to church, music was soft and that is how I would want if I went to church. I have mostly pants I wear all the time. I have said do not care to g ...

Need Ideas For Packing Lunches For My Daughter.Sep 20, 2015
My daughter just started high school this year and has decided that she does not want to eat school lunches anymore.  She claims they make her stomach hurt.  She can't give a specific food that causes her stomach problems just all school lunches do.  So fine, I don't mind packing her a lunch everyday.  I'm not a big fan of the school lunches anyway.  My daughter gets free lunches at school because we qualify as I'm a single mom, so I thought we should ...

I have a really easy, quick recipe.  It's sort of Sloppy Joes, but my own version.  Brown chopped meat in a skillet.  Add seasoned salt, onion powder, a hint of garlic powder, and black pepper and stir around.  Throw in some chunks of Velveeta cheese and stir until cheese is melted all through.  Serve on bun of your choice.  You can use regular American cheese, but the Velveeta tends to melt easier and clean up in the pan easier. ...
