Refirgerator Snack Draw for Hungry Kids

Wow! It’s “Works-For-Me Wednesday” again. A friend of mine reminded me of a great idea I shared with her.

My four kids are always hungry, so how do I satisfy their hunger with nutritious treats without having to prepare them every 30 minutes or so? Glad you asked!

I have a drawer in my frig designated as the snack drawer. Every time I go shopping I toss in individual applesauce, granola bars, yogurt, gogurts, raisins, fruit cups, and carrots. Then when they whine, “I’m hungry mom.” I tell them to get a snack from the snack drawer. I don’t have to worry whether they’re eating junk. My only rule is that they can’t have the same thing twice in one day. If they did then all the “good” snacks would go quickly.

I try not to restock unless it’s nearly empty because sometimes they’d rather eat granola bars instead of applesauce. Try freezing gogurts for a tasty summer treat! My kids love them!

And that’s what works for me!
