School is in full swing, work and home responsibilities are always piling up, and our lives are busier than ever. Let’s take a night off to enjoy our families and have some fun! I’m excited to share recipes for a fun snack, yummy appetizer, and easy entree that will bring the family together for a night of food and fun!
This time of year can get pretty hectic for families with school age children. There’s school, sports, after school activities, and, of course, homework. It’s important to take a break from our busy schedules and just have some fun as a family. So grab your kids, get in the kitchen, and have some fun!
These recipes are quick and easy. It’s so fun to have everyone prepare the food. Kids love it and it’s a great time to bond with each other!
I think every kid on the planet comes home from school hungry. This Taco Snack Mix is simple to throw together and even your picky eaters will be back for seconds of this fun snack! It’s a crunchy, salty mix seasoned with McCormicks new gluten-free Taco Seasoning Mix. It adds a big kick of flavor, but it’s not spicy so kids of all ages will love it!

A family fun night is a great idea! I love all of these recipes, but that Taco Snack Mix is such an awesome idea – it’s getting made today. My “starving” just-home-from-school kids will thank you 🙂

I love family game night. The chili cheese dip looks amazing.

Chex Mix! I miss Chex Mix. We recently got Cheerios in Germany, though. At least it’s something. 😉
And both these recipes look great! I actually bring McCormick stuff over here with me whenever I visit my parents back home.

That cheese dip has my name written all over it. My weakness is cheese and dip and cheese dip!
