Sunday Snack Board

Megan5157 views

Sundays are my favorite day of the week. Lately, it starts with a hustle to get myself and five kids dressed in our Sunday best and out the door for church. But once that is done, I get to slow down a bit. Sundays are the only day of the week that Neil is indefinitely home with us for two meals: lunch and dinner. Thus, its the one day of the week that I try to have the simplest meal prep so I can spend my time enjoying family outside of the kitchen. Lunch is either bean and cheese crisps or this colorful snack board. I never have it ready right when we walk in the door from Church, so I use this as an opportunity to cook with him and my kids together.

The snacks each week vary, so I have a long list of choices you can fill your own snack boards with. Obviously, not everything listed here can fit on one board. And not every option for a snack board is listed here. Get creative with whatever fits your family’s fancy. I will say, however, that the most successful snack boards have a combination of all food groups (grains, protein, dairy, fruits/vegetables), flavors, textures, and colors. I also like to serve two different options for dips to fit the likings of everyone in the family.

Happy Snacking!

Homemade Ranch Dressing
