When the kids come home with rumbling tummies, you need some easy, after-school snack ideas!
The kids are back to school which means they are coming home starving! This year, they have recess then lunch so they are eating later. Add in a shortened lunch period and they are so hungry when they come home. They need something that will hold them over until dinner. We have been trying a bunch of different afternoon snacks.
