I know it is strange but I like being the
"snack mom".
I love the challenge of making a seemingly boring task just a little more fun.

My daughter's High School Volleyball team, played their toughest opponent on Friday
and I wanted to fill them up with a special snack before the big game...
They each got a "Go Bears" to-go bag,
to eat in the car during the 45 minute drive.
I enclosed easy, healthy food-
apples, peanut butter, pretzels...
and pasta salad
(in Maroon and Gold school colors, of course!)
SERVED in take out boxes...
To make enough for 14 takeout boxes I combined
Two 16 oz boxes of cooked rotini pasta
(spiral shaped to give the ball a little more SPIN)
grape tomatoes halved
1 red, 1 yellow and 1 orange diced bell pepper
one 12 oz block of mozzarella cheese diced
and my secret pasta salad weapon...
I whisked the entire bottle of Brianna's Vinaigrette with 1/2 cup mayonnaise
They played their hearts out and lost a very close match.
The "Celebration Cookies" I made for the trip home,
quickly turned into "You played a Great Game" Cookies.
If you want to be a snack mom hero,
you have got to make these EASY Peanut Butter Cup Cookies.
They turn out perfectly for me every time...
I mean really, anything with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups makes people happy, right?
Until the next snack...
Go Bears!
This is a great idea, thanks for sharing! I was trying to figure out something simple to make for my son's cross country team, you just made it so much easier for me :)
