After School Snack

 

This is a sampling of what Chase makes himself for an afterschool snack.

Yesterday I watched him create this mouth-filling masterpiece.

The sandwich is made from slices of medium roast beef, black forest ham, maple honey turkey and Colby-jack cheese. He then topped those deli meats with lettuce, onion, mayo, ranch dressing and just a speck of Dijon mustard and layered it all on seasoned French bread.

After unloading two 16 year old male sized hand-fulls of Doritos on the side and swirling chocolate syrup in a cup of cold milk he was ready to devour yet another daily “snack.”

 

Just enough to tide him over until dinner

{oh yeah….}

Here are some other snacks we plan to try here in the Gish house.

Place a scoop of frozen yogurt between graham cracker squares. Roll the edges in chocolate chips. Freeze until firm. This is really good on days like today when the mercury is +85 degrees.

 

Just spread any nut butter on wedges of apple, then roll in a favorite granola. We prefer Kashi Cereal.

 

 

Melt 1/3 cup butter with 1 tablespoon honey and a pinch of salt. Toss with 12 cups popcorn and 1 cup pecans. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake 15 minutes at 325 degrees F, tossing. Cool.
