Snacks for Summer Outings

Looking for snack ideas for your kids this summer?

Many times, lack of preparation costs more money! Making baggies yourself will save so much compared to buying the convenient pre-packaged items. Divide portions into small baggies for summer outings. That morning, simply pack brown lunch bags with items.

Another summer time saver is preparing frozen peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Throw a sandwich in the lunch bag and it will be ready and thawed by lunch.

Now you will be prepared in a flash for the swimming pool, library and park, a hike or wherever your summer adventures take you!

We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders. I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

Chicken Parmesan This is a delicious recipe from Magnolia Table: Volume 2. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 tsp. garlic salt 1 sleeve (30-40) buttery crackers, crushed 4 oz.
