Christmas Break is upon us! That means kids running rampant for the next couple weeks! Normally, our little ones or teens are eating at school.. SO now what?! Fret not! I have some tasty items for you to try out! Pancake Bites: Mix together instant pancake mix and fill muffin tins 3/4 full. Add flavoring (fruit, cinnamon, nuts etc) on top. Bake at 350 for 12 minutes!
Mason Jar Oatmeal: Mix a serving of oatmeal and flavoring they like (fruit, maple, nuts, etc). Make several j...ars ahead of time to save time. Just add water and microwave!
Premake Lunches: Put together many different items to create yummy meals that are like a lunchable! Make sure there is a meat/protein, a carb, a dairy, a fruit, and a veggie. (examples: tortilla, chicken strip, lettuce & tomato, shred cheese, and a banana OR crackers, slices turkey, sliced cheese, baby carrots, and an apple).Mason Jar Veggie Dips: Put their fav dipping sauce in the bottom of a mason jar and stick celery sticks, carrot sticks, etc in with them!
Peanut Butter Banana Rollups: Take a tortilla, spread peanut butter on it and then wrap it around a banana.
**A Few Extra Tips!**1. Use Cupcake toppers instead of toothpicks for sandwiches. They aren't as sharp.
2. Apples can be used for sandwiches instead of bread.
3. Younger kids like cuteness! So maybe cut their sandwiches into hearts or make faces with the food! Cookie cutters work wonders!
4. Simple is ok too. Fresh, easy to grab fruits and veggies, yogurts, string cheese, hard boiled eggs etc.
5. Use tortillas for lots of stuff. Wraps, sandwiches, tacos etc.
6. Make sure you have pretzels, crackers, almonds, pita chips & hummus on hand.
Alright! I hope these tips help make your Christmas Break easier! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Check out my facebook page for more tips!
