Here's a quick lunch or snack idea that kids will love: Cut the top off an apple and core the middle of the apple. Fill the core with healthy things, such as raisins, peanuts, applesauce, pudding, yogurt, cereal, carrot sticks or anything healthy that will fit. Put the top back onto the apple and wrap the apple with colorful cellophane. You can even tie it with a colorful string or ribbon and add a loving note or fun joke. It is economical, healthy, and your child won't forget it. I call it "Our Secret Snack Pack."
