In our house, the jump from Summer to Fall is a shock to the system. Our family goes from lazy unscheduled days to homework and football practices. My daughter's gymnastics practices return to all evenings except for that dreaded Saturday morning. Alarms need to be set and lunches need to be packed in advance.
All of the running around after school makes it very difficult to serve a decent meal every night. Football is after school for my oldest son and my younger son starts practice when my older son is finishing up. My daughter needs to leave for gymnastics by 4pm three nights a week. The in and out and driving all over translates to we either eat something that can be prepared fast or we don't eat. Along with grilled cheese, pancakes, and peanut butter and jelly, I am a huge fan of
Bagel Bites.
My kids are very active, and an after school snack doubles as dinner several nights a week. Cheese and crackers, yogurt and fruits and vegetables aren't enough to satisfy my kids before practices. They are excellent options for snacks immediately after practice, but I like to give them more of a meal pre-practice whenever possible. They need fuel to sustain them through running drills and gymnastics routines. After school is my best opportunity to give them a meal, because they are hungry and there is just enough time to digest before they have to hit the field or the gym.
Dinner at 4pm isn't easy but we make it work. The few times a month I'm prepared I'll get something in the crock pot. If I have nothing ready after school, I know Bagel Bites can be ready in minutes. They are made with 100% real cheese, and the dough and tomato sauce are made from quality ingredients. The biggest win for my family? My kids LOVE them. Their friends love them too, which means I keep them fully stocked because I never know how many extra mouths I'll need to feed.
Every mother with kids in school can relate.

I don't have kids and am not in school myself, so this is not really an issue for me. However, when I was a kid, I loved to come home and have some Pop Tarts to tide me over until dinner1 LOL
