Depending on your child's age and after-school routine, try to control what he or she eats in the late afternoon so she don't lose appetite for dinner. A child who gets home famished at 3 and eats a large snack probably won't be hungry if dinner is at 5:30. Likewise, it may not reasonable to expect a child whose parents work late to go until 7:30 with nothing to eat since lunch. Think about your kids' schedules and plan accordingly.

Baked potatoes are my favorite to serve, they love it too. Potatoes (not fried) are low in calories and fat snack and high on taste and nutrition. You are sure your kids will enjoy this after school. It's very simple you can just put them in a Dutch oven and follow your baking steps.
