Meals Made Easy Challenge Day 4: Snack Spread

Have a picnic at home and enjoy snacks for dinner. It might not be something you can do every week, but it can be a fast, simple dinner that keeps the kids happy. If you're feeling really adventurous, put a blanket on the floor or head outside. All these food should be easy to grab from the fridge or cabinets and lay out.

  • Crackers and cheese
  • Pepperoni
  • Olives, carrots, celery
  • Cold cuts
  • Popcorn


Do you ever have ‘snacks' for dinner? How often does your family have picnics?

Yes, we do this sometimes when I don't feel like cooking!

We've done hors d'oeuvres for dinner and cheese plates for dinner.  When I'm on my own I'll do popcorn for dinner sometimes.

Yes, we try to weekly even indoors and play a game of high low for the week.  Every family member shares what are greatest moment of the week was and what the lowest moment of the week was.  It teaches kids compassion and empathy and we end it with a new joke to share for laughs and giggles.

We do have snacks somtimes for dinner, however, I loveee breakfast for dinner when we need a quick fix and go menu.  What can I say, pancakes, omlettes, french toast, crepes, and hashbrowns are just good anytime of the day! LOL
