What do you give your kids for afterschool snacks? It seems I am running out
of ideas. Thanks so much. :o)

My son eats a peanut butter sandwich, and a glass of milk when he
comes home from school. My other children arent' in school yet, so I
can't help out much!

I'm not there yet, but what about wholemeal (American) muffins? Raisin toast?
Fruit? Milk? Cheese on toast? Pikelets?

Milk and a sandwich.

Sometimes she'll make herself something more elaborate like bacon and eggs if
she's really hungry.

From http://www.cuisinedumonde.com/pikelets.html

Pikelets or Scottish Pancakes are a small and sweet pancake best
served warm with melted butter or cold with jam and whipped cream.

200 grams / 7 oz of flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 egg
A pinch of salt
4 tablespoons of white sugar
210 ml / 7 fluid oz of milk
30 grams / 1½ oz of butter

In a medium sized bowl whisk together the egg, milk, sugar and salt.
In a large bowl sift the flour and baking powder. Melt the butter.
Pour the egg mixture and butter into the flour and stir quickly until
the dry ingredients are moist but still slightly lumpy. Take care not
to overmix the batter. Heat a greased griddle or frying pan, and drop
dessertspoons of mixture from the tip of the spoon onto the pan. Cook
over a medium heat - too little heat gives heavy and pale pikelets,
too much heat is likely to burn. Turn the pikelets as soon as bubbles
appear. The pikelets should be golden on both sides.

Ours can vary wildly from healthy to junk. Fruit, yogurt, baby carrots
or celery, cereal bars, graham crackers, and sometimes they'll make
smores in the microwave - chocolate chips on a graham cracker with
marshmallows or fluff on top. Popsicles on hot days.

That sounds about what my kids do eat. I am trying to migrate towards more
healthy. Thank you for the suggestions.

snip nice recipe

I just use milk, eggs and SR flour until the batter is of the right
consistency, then fry them in a little sunflower oil. What do you reckon,
Daye, make them 3 inches across? I like sour cream and jam, or honey, or
maple syrup, or just jam. And they are nicer straight from the pan, though
quite acceptable at room temp.

DS loves "ply-kets"!
