"After School Snacks"

It's getting closer to the school year (YUCK!). Star thinking about snacks you can have ready for them when they get home. For the next couple days I will post some recipes. It's really very simple but not as simple as reaching for the gold fish! Hahaha well anyway, here is the first recipe.

Also- if you have a favorite healthy snack recipe that your kids love, let me know!





Now these look GOOD! I got these off of parenting.com. A common site for the Happy Homemaker.





Tiny Tortilla Pizzas!





What you need: Small Corn tortillas, salsa, shredded cheddar cheese.





Mound a little salsa then cheese on each tortilla. Cook in foil lined tray in toaster oven until cheese has melted and is brown at the edges.


( But what if I don't have a toaster oven?!) Calm down. Turn your oven to warm, or the lowest setting, perhaps broil, and watch it closesly)





Extras: A layer of refried beans under the salsa, cliantro for garnish, a dollop of sour cream, or sprinkle finely chopped green peppetrs.

Summer Berry Trifle

I made this summer berry trifle for the 4th of July. It turned out swell! Comment if you want the recipe, I am just posting the stepst!

Nilla wafers for the "crust" part

Vanilla Pudding

Lemon Juice


Berry Medley mixed with lemon juice and sugar (sits for 30 min to absorb juices)

Made from scratch whip cream topping

First you stack the wafers in a clear bowl.
( I didn't have a trifle bowl, but this worked great!)

I got carried away for the next steps for taking pictures.

You put the berries on top of the wafers, then the pudding on top of the berries.

Repeat with the wafer step.

2 layers of pudding

3 layers of berries.

Then top with the whip cream!
