[blparent] after school snacks

Cooking is easy once you relax.  The oven and the crockpot are my best 
friends, especially the crockpot.  Toss stuff in and forget about it till 
you want to eat and it's hot and ready!

kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at 
evening.--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

Wow, that sounds yummy. Can someone make some and send it to me.  I'm a
terrible cook. Lol.
Well, I'm good enough to make food for my kids, however.

This recipe is only healthful as compared to a donut. :) I found it with a
quick on line search when I thought of these during a party planning
session. I hope they are as good as I remember.

What You Need

1

pkg.  (6 oz.) STOVE TOP Stuffing Mix for Chicken

1-2/3

cups   hot water

1/4

cup  butter or margarine

2

pkg.  (10 oz. each) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, well drained and patted
dry

1

cup  KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese

1

cup  chopped fresh mushrooms

1

small  onion, finely chopped

4

   eggs

Make It

HEAT oven to 400ºF.

MIX stuffing mix, hot water and butter in large bowl until blended.

ADD remaining ingredients; mix lightly. Shape into 60 (1-inch) balls. Place

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Lately the balance between after school snacks, dinner, and our schedule is
a struggle for me again. My two youngest get off the bus about 30 minutes
apart, and we have to be to wrestling 4 nights a week by 6.
Wrestling is only another 6 weeks or so, and this problem will resolve
itself for a while thank goodness.

Still, sometimes the timing is off, or a boy is just not hungry for dinner
beforehand and we end up eating dinner pretty late. It makes it even more
important that our snacks be on the healthier side. I thought perhaps we
could all inspire each other and share our ideas.

I just put the ingredients to make spinach balls on my shopping list. I will
make a big batch and then put them in the freezer to be pulled out a few at
a time for snacks. I know the kids like these, so I am hoping they will be
successful at snack time too.

For the record, I offered everyone a donut and a glass of water yesterday.
A pretty big fail on the healthy side. J I still gave myself points for
having a plan in place and ready to serve when they walked in the door.
