    My kids start school next week after a busy day of learning and playing, I know they will be arriving home hungry. So I have gone through the Mess For Less chronicles and pulled up our 10 Favorite After School Snacks. The kids enjoyed making these family friendly recipes with me almost as much as they loved eating them. Some of these work well in lunch boxes the next day too!
