| My kids favorite bagel dogs are now $10 a box and there’s no way. I spent the weekend making a huge batch of them from cocktail weenies and crescent dough. But now I’m wondering what other similar snacks I could make that my kids can pop out of the freezer after school and heat up. Any ideas? |

Lasagna muffin cups - many recipes online, but basically you use wonton wrappers as the pasta and layer them in muffin tins.
They can make egg sandwiches on english muffins. |

| Can’t they just eat an apple and some cheese and wait for dinner? |

I’m not OP but mine could not. They have lunch at 10:30 and come home very hungry. Dinner is more like second dinner. |

Depends on the ages of the kids and their activity levels - my 8 year old could, but an apple and cheese wouldn't cut it for my 14 year old. |

For those that make their own frozen burritos, what type of tortilla do you use? I feel like the tortillas they sell out here and really good for burritos. |

Why can't they plunk a slice of cheese on a tortilla and microwave for 20 seconds?
Quesadilla 101 Mine also like Bagel Bites, but they're rxpebsive (even the store brand). So, I have a bag of bagels (the mini kind ir Englush muffins work too), marinara, and mozzarella. My older kids prefers it in the oven, but my younger one just microwaves it. |

+1. In the toaster oven, so easy. You can juse jarred pizza sauce and just slice some mozzarella (don't even have to grate). |
