Snack food ideas, please.

Being a very non-cook person lol I keep it simple.

Big hits in this family are boiled pumpkin, sweet pototo and carrots cut into sticks, hash browns, mashed up cantelope, watermelon, bubble and squek, weet bix. Homemeda lentil burger were a massive hit as they are nice and soft. Custard, fruit salad.

My DD is unusually happy with eating veggies and prefers them over everything else, and she loves her fruit. She went through a stage of not eating so we had to come up with things that we could just leave her with rather than us sit and watch her. So we would do up platters with alittle bit of this and alittle bit of that IYKWIM.

Quick and Easy snacks in our house are the following

Cruskits - either plain or with some butter/vegemite
Fruit Platters - a colourful mix is usually a hit
Mixed platters - eg half a sandwich, some cheese cut into sticks, fruit bars
Pasta - DS LOVES spaghetti (hot or cold) hahahaha

hard boiled egg
cooked noodles
meatballs a bit bigger (but not rissole sized) so they have to 'bite' and can't shove it in all as once IYKWIM?
I often make the muffins Sloane posted about and add ham or herbs or grated vegies
cheese cut into sticks
