Simple yet good.
Snacks for Kids
Yummy Potato Skins
Don’t toss out those potato peels! They make a very quick easy (and inexpensive) snack! Kids love them!
Easy Chicken Balls
A mixture of ground chicken, three cheeses, cloves, onion, eggs and seasoning makes for great golden fried chicken balls!
Mexican Jicama Snack
I found this recipe while on a trip to Mexico. It is a great snack that is crunchy, has a great flavor, and is very healthy. My kids love this and they can help make it. Happy crunching!
Pizza Moons
This is a great after school snack for kids and adults. It uses basic ingredients and you can change it up to make it yours. Enjoy!!
Cinnamon Ants on Sticks
Cinnamon adds a flavor twist to a favorite snack kids love to make themselves with celery sticks, peanut butter and raisins.
Chicken Won Tons
This is an easy way to use up small amounts of leftover chicken, and no one fights over white or dark meat! It can serve as a good appetizer for unexpected guests, snack, junk food meal (we all do it) or tempter for a little picky eater. We fell in love with these at a Mexican restaurant; the flavors can vary depending on your family’s taste – Italian, oriental, whatever!
Taco Nachos
My kids wanted nachos. I didn’t have a recipe, so I created this one. It was a hit with us!
Apple Ladybug Treats
Red apples are decorated to look like lady bugs. This is a quick and fun snack that kids will enjoy making and eating. For once kids can play with their food.
Tuna Cheesies
This is a delightful recipe that makes almost little tuna fish pizzas or half bagels. Kids will have fun making this! Use your favorite cheese!
Buttermilk Hush Puppies
Hush puppies are a great Southern tradition along with buttermilk coleslaw and Southern-fried catfish. Why not use all that buttermilk together in all your recipes? Try them all!
Easy Baked Chicken Wings
Dip those wings in egg and flour, then pour a basic soy sauce, sugar and vinegar sauce over them and bake to completion. Good to take to a potluck dinner.
Super Nachos
This makes a huge meal-sized tray of nachos with lots of good stuff! You can adjust ingredient quantities to suit your preference. Serve with extra chips if required. Great for game day.
Stuffed Celery
Stuffed celery, it’s easy to make and kids love it. My Great Grandma always made this and my cousins and I used to fight over the last piece.
Cream Cheese Won Tons
This is the only way I will eat cream cheese. I thought I would try it, because I love won tons and the kids love cream cheese. Try it, it’s onolicious! I usually use a little bit of beaten egg to seal the won ton skins into their package shape.
Apple Toast
Apple toast is a great after-school snack for kids who are picky eaters. It doesn’t take long to make and is a light snack that will leave you satisfied.
