Quick, Easy and Healthy After School Snacks
|
Recipes featured on Q13 Fox morning news. Q13 Morning News, Healthy After School Snacks. When looking for inspiration for recipes for this mornings segment on Q13, I went to my 4 1/2 year old nephew and my 17 year old brother-in-law. I asked them what they like to eat, how they like to eat it and items they won’t go near. Once created, these recipes were kid tested and mother approved. Easy, fast and healthy. The night before my segment, I set up my kitchen table exactly how I want it to look on camera. I make sure the colors blend, there is enough height and it looks clean and organized. Once the table is just how I want it, its time to gather all the ingredients and get as much packed up as possible. Because I did a set up and pack up the night before the morning is quick and easy! The car was packed and we were off to the studio. The crew at Q13 is friendly, nice and so easy to work with, it really makes for a fun and enjoyable segment. Below are the recipes that were featured on the segment plus a couple of bonus recipes just for TheLakeKitchen.com readers! Enjoy! |
