In addition to being a stay at home mom of 5 kids and contributing writer for OAMM, I am a daycare provider. The children in my care range from ages 13 months to 5 years, as well as school age kids after school.
As you can imagine, menu planning and freezer cooking are a MUST to keep my sanity in check and the grocery bill under budget. Along with serving breakfast and lunch to the children in my care, I also serve a mid-morning and mid-afternoon snack.
