I really LOVE making after school snacks for the kids. In fact, it's my favorite meal of the day to make.
I love deciding whether to make a sweet or savory morsel.
I love deciding if it's going to have a theme. (ie- Halloween cupcakes, or caterpillar celery sticks)
Since the children are in school, I have a quiet house to plan and make it in.
I love thinking about how happy the kids will be when they see what I've come up with and they are always so appreciative (unlike any other meal I slave over).
I also love deciding whether to have it inside or outside. Is it going to be cookies on the kitchen table or Jello cubes in the swing set.
They are usually pretty fast to make too.
An after school snack is the perfect combo of yumminess, ease and fun.
Today's snack... Chocolate Chunk & Chip Cookies
p.s. I don't make an after school snack every day. Most days they fend for themselves, but in my perfect magazine world I would LOVE to.
