I can’t believe it’s that time again – Back to School! The kids and I are working on getting back to our routine which is bad and wonderful at the same time. Bad because it’s the end of the summer, the pool, the lazy nights, the camp fires, the vacations! But wonderful because we will be back on routine and it won’t be so hard to get them out of bed early in the mornings!. We’ve been slowly but surely going to bed earlier, getting up and actually getting ready for the day, making our list for school supplies, new clothes, shoes, and of course lunches and easy to make snacks!
My girls are finally at an age where they can come home and be by themselves after school until I get home from work. We have strict rules for the short time they are home: no one else in the house, no answering the door, keep the doors locked, check in when you get there, no oven or boiling water, no fighting, etc. They usually like to relax after they get off the bus with a computer game or a bit of T.V. before I get home and start making them do homework. The one thing that is always on the after school check list is an after school snack. My girls both have early lunches so by the time they get off the bus they are starving. If I was at home I’d have them dinner ready, but I work and our dinners don’t come until 6:30 or later so we’ve had to come up with some quick and easy after school snacks.
We made our way to Walmart to pick out some easy snacks that they are able to fix on their own – and enjoy. My girls are a bit picky when it comes to their afternoon snacks so not just anything would do – and I want to make sure they aren’t just munching on junk. We searched the frozen food isle and the girls found some yummy Delimex beef rolled tacos and chicken taquitos and I was thrilled to find out that Bagel Bites are made with real cheese and homemade sauce with 0 trans fat.
My favorite part about these easy snacks is that my oldest is a microwave pro – no oven needed! They get home and they make a beeline for the freezer so they can heat up their snack and not miss their favorite afternoon show, or relax and read for a bit before homework and chore time start when I get home.
She even fixes a snack for her sister (which I swear by the fact that children get along only when parents are not present) and they aren’t calling me every 5 minutes to ask me when I’ll be home and what we are having for dinner. Full bellies = happy kids.
It’s so nice to have quick and easy snacks for kids after school! Gonna have to stock up on those with school just around the corner.
Those are great quick snacks. Where in the world did summer go? lol
I bought the Delimex snacks and they are really tasty! Perfect for TV snacks!
Its great when you can have quick and easy snacks for after school.Mine do not normally eat when they get home as they get back around 4pm and dinner is at 6pm so not much point in snacks.
My kids are always starving when they get off the bus, so I have to have snacks ready for them after school – or else.
My daughter loves having quick snacks like this after school! She gets out at 2:20 and it’s too late for lunch but too early for dinner. Snacks like this are perfect to tide her over!
My kids like cheese and crackers after school, yogurt, or applesauce. When I was a kid I would love opening our freezer and finding Bagel Bites.
Snacks? That looks like ti would make for a fun dinner as well in my house! Thanks for the info!

I love me some bagel bites! I still buy some every now and again for myself.
I remember getting home from school and always being hungry. Having snacks on hand that are quick and easy is really handy!
I usually pack snacks for my son (he’s still in daycare. I don’t get to see him until dinnertime.) Usually I send some sort of fruit for the afternoon. We love Bagel Bites and tend to have those for a quick dinner!
These are all good options. We usually lean towards fruit or a cheese stick after school.
Kids always seem to come home from school hungry. These look like some great options for easy to make after school snacks.
I remember when my brother was in middle school, he’d kill a double decker box of bagel bites for an afternoon snack. That kids was a disposal for food!
My son loves Bagel Bites. I’ve never gotten him Delimex, but he’s always up for trying something new.
My son really likes bagel bites. They’re great for when I’m not in town, because he and my husband wouldn’t eat if it weren’t for easy snacks like this!
I am a teacher and so I am always looking for quick and easy meals to take to school. We get off at 1:30 pm so I can always have lunch when I get home. I love Bagel Bites and Mini Pizzas.
I’m in denial that it’s almost back to school time! My two youngest love bagel bites for a snack!
My son starts school this year so this will be my first after school snack moment. Snacks that kids can heat by themselves are great.
I used to love Bagel Bites as an after school snack! They are so delicious and so easy to make!
My girls do love those Bagel Bites for a quick after school snack. Pizza rolls tend to be a hit too!
My kids are always looking for a snack. They are little bottomless pits! LOL!
Yes you are right these are very quick and easy. My boys love the pizza bites as their after school snacks.
I would love to says vegetable sticks but I have to force those on them it has to be toninos pizza or the pizza bites
I always pick up a box of Taquitos before my oldest comes to visit. He loves to have them and doesn’t get to eat them at home much (his wife is a VERY healthy eater). 🙂
Those taquitos are awesome for snacks. Half the time, my husband ends up stealing a few from our son’s plate!
Bagel Bites are delicious! WE love them around football season.!
I’m a sucker for bagel bites. We put a pinch of course sea salt on them. So good!
He love those bagel Bites! Perfect after a long day!
My daughter walks in the door an heads straight for the fridge. She normally devours an apple, a yogurt and the moves on the the dried fruit stash!
Those are great snacks to have on hand. I love the taquitos!
Nice. We like to do after school snacks in the car, but these are great for home.
My daughter recently tried Bagel Bites topped with Canadian Bacon and Pineapple. She can make it herself and has eaten it the last 3 days for lunch. 😀
My daughter used to be OBSESSED with taquitos! And, my whole family really enjoys Bagel Bites, I love how easy and fast they are to cook!
You had me at quick and easy. We love bagel bites.
Yummy! We love bagel bites and they are the perfect after school treat!
Mmm, this delicious. Great after school snack.
My daughter comes home from summer school acting like she’s STARVING! These would be a perfect snack. I’m going to grab some.
I love the Rolled Tacos. They are easy to make and taste yummy 🙂
My kids LOVE snacks like these after school! And I love them because they’re easy to make.
We usually make our own trail mix. He loves that he made it, I love that it’s healthy!
I remember back when Bagel Bites first came on the scene. I loved them then and I love them now! We always keep a box around for a snack or quick meal.
These are a great after school snack idea. YUMMY!
