After School Snacks from A to Z. (26 recipes, one for every letter!)
The minute my kids walk in the door from school, they are sniffing for food. You'd think they had not had a bite to eat all day - but I send them a lunchbox packed with food, and it is always empty when they get home. So I know they eat - but by late afternoon, they are in desperate need of a refuel. I like to have after school snacks for them that won't ruin their appetite for dinner. And I try to avoid feeding them sugary sweets like ...

He filled it with his favorite little toys, cars and books. And he wore his Skip Hop Zoo Pack just about everywhere we ...
