good food, bad food

So what do you keep in your house for you and kids to munch on? What
do they eat/drink between meals?

Thanks.

We have snack and meal times, so my son does not graze. For snacks, it
varies greatly. Goldfish (for junk food), granola bars, applesauce and
bananas are favorites. Other things include yogurt, Cheerios, homemade fruit
rollups that are really actually made out of fruit. Deli meat slices,
cheese, wheat crackers. Wheat toast, with peanut butter. Can't think of
anything else.

Snack crackers like Wheatables or Wheat Thins, cheese, sometimes homemade
goodies (apple crisp right now), ice cream, raw veggies but I'm pretty much
the only one eating them although Hunter will sometimes eat some, graham
crackers, occasionally pudding, yogurt, toast w/toppings, cereal, popcorn,
raisons for Luke, strawberries or apples. I don't do much munching but the
kids get a snack every day. Dh likes potatoe chips w/dip. The kids have
chips sometimes but I try to limit it a bit and dh eats a lot of it at night
after they have gone to bed. We still have easter candy around.

What
do they eat/drink between meals?

Water, chocolate milk, sometimes juice, and in the summer I make a two
gallon pitcher of Koolaid about twice a month. Dh drinks pop, beer and
sometimes milk. He apparently thinks water is only for prisoners :-) The
kids only get pop once a month or so.

Dh is thin if you can believe it, lol.

Good thread! Maybe I'll get some ideas.

Fruit

Veggies

yogurt

ice cream sandwiches and popsickles

bagels

And, now that they are grownups and end up eating meals at odd times to
accomodate work schedules, frozen "quick" meals like corn dogs and
chicken pot pies, as well as always having ground beef in the house for
a quick hamburger.

I reserve the yogurt, pudding, canned fruit, etc for dessert at the

Not much.
No cookies, chips, pretzels, soda, candies. I just don't think to buy them.

bananas
apples (for DD - I haven't given it to DS yet)
oranges (for DD)
unsalted rice cakes (surprisingly addicting)
yogurt (we freeze the go-gurts)
cheerios
goldfish
freeze pops
bagels (with or without cream cheese)
cheese (string as well as cubes)
DS will also eat tofu, chinese dumplings, Maria cookies

orange juice
seltzer water
milk
iced tea
if I think about it, lemonade, cranberry juices

After DS goes to bed, we will bake chocolate cookies.

Can you please send a recipe for homemade fruit rollups?

drink is easy. water.
rarely juice or flavored whole milk. iced tea (he'll drink
unsweetened & decaffinated), chai tea (also decaf usually).
snacks include hummus, guacamole, salsa (the latter 2 with
unsalted corn chips), cheese quesadillas, cheese & crackers,
fruit (especially blueberries, melon chunks, strawberries &
pineapple), frozen green beans, frozen blueberries, chickpeas,
rarely canned fruit. sometimes goldfish or cheez-its in the
car (i sweep out the crumbs to the chickens... now they chase
my car). ice cream or sorbet (not sherbet! sorbet is just
fruit, no sugar. Edy's is the best locally) full fat yogurt
(Stonyfield Farm YoBaby or MooLaLa or plain). jelly
sandwiches. homemade tapioca pudding. homemade custard.
