Quick Chex Mix

I know the real recipe isn't terribly difficult or hard to find on the internet, but I was too rushed to look it up before we went camping last weekend and came up with this:

INGREDIENTS

1-2 cups each of:
Pretzels
Peanuts
Corn Chex cereal
Wheat Chex cereal

... you can honestly throw in whatever is in your cupboard.  Cherios?  Life cereal?  cheese-its?  Throw 'em in.

2 TBS worchestershire sauce
2 tsp garlic salt
2 tsp onion powder

DIRECTIONS

Mix your dry ingredients together.  Top with sauce & spices.  Mix well.  Bake for 10 minutes in 350 degree oven.  Cool and eat!

School Snack- Fruite & Cheese Kabobs

I've got to be honest.  Being responsible for snack at preschool once a month is so stressful to me.

It's not as easy as going to the store and buying a box of animal crackers and a carton of milk.  If only.

The stress comes from the restrictive diet that all of the little preschoolers are on.  Snacks are supposed to be nutritious (read: no cookies) and not contain the following ingredients:

eggs

peanuts

peanut butter

tree nuts

red dye number 4... or is it 12?

Mangoes

So that leaves me with what, carrot sticks?

This is the snack we went for today.  I was kind of proud of the mini skewers, even though I resorted to toothpicks when I realized late last night that we didn't have any kabob skewers after all.

So here you have it:

Cheese
Strawberries
Grapes

You could also use blueberries, cantaloupe, pineapple... or whatever else will not fall apart when you stick it with a tooth pick.

If I were a kid in preschool I'd be happier with frosted animal crackers, but that's just me :)
