I can remember as a child coming home from school every day to a snack prepared lovingly by my mother. It was never fancy. Almost always it was fresh cut apple wedges or oranges fanned out on a 70's style melamine plate :-). Regardless of the cost, the mere fact that she cared enough to cut up an apple made truly feel loved through this simple act of kindness. As a mother with children of my own, I try to make sure my kids have a healthy afterschool snack waiting for them when they get off the bus. It's a tradition worth keeping!

| "Gobble Me Up" After School Snack |
As I was browsing through Family Fun this week, I saw a great
Thanksgiving Snack that I'm making for my kids this week. It's snack love + Infinity King's X (that mean's "it's the best and you can't top it", in my family).
- Instructions:
- Arrange apple and clementine or navel orange slices on a plate as shown, and lay a cored pear half on top.
- Use scissors to snip small triangles from an orange slice and tuck them under the pear to form the feet.
- Finally, use peanut butter to attach mini chocolate chip eyes, a nut beak, and a dried cranberry snood.
Try this savvy healthy afterschool snack for your kids this week and share the love!
- What's your kids favorite after school snack?
Mine love home made banana bread, fruit and yogurt.
