It's back to school time and I filled up the snack basket. Chips, granola bars, fruit roll-ups, fruit gushers. {my favorite} I always try to have a few snacks in the basket.. D and 3 others came in tonight and went straight for the basket. Let me say- the more you put in it the more they eat so we watch it so they don't overload.
I got this idea years ago when D was in the hospital with mono. We got a basket from my work and from his dad's work. It was the best thing to have a quick bag of chips and not have to leave the room and pay $1.50 for it. I would recommend this over flowers anyday.
Do you have a snack basket? What do you put in it?

Now this is real rocket science here...I will go slooowwwwww. Spread peanut butter and jelly or honey on two pieces of bread.. ya still with me? Then take a large cup and squish it on the edges. I tried a cookie cutter and it didn't seal it good enough. If ya get some peanut butter on the edges it makes like a bread glue.. yummm huh?
Sometimes I score the edge with a knife to make it a little cleaner looking. And there ya have it.. uncrustables in about 2.5 minutes at a fraction of the cost..
Store in a freezer bag in the freezer til ready to eat. They thaw in just a few minutes. Here I have a real uncrustable and mine are bigger.. Bigger is better, isn't that what they say?
Now sure you could label them with cute little tags but I didn't for this pictures. Sometimes if I am feeling really spiffy I mix some protein powder and fiber in with the peanut butter to give the kiddos an extra boost.
