For drinks we always seltzer, gatorade, sodas, and a lot ask for water. I also have some canned Starbucks lattes and my kid likes to make coffee drinks. Usually have juice and/or tea.
Chips, hummus and salsa, popcorn, cookies (I'll usually make them if I know they're coming over), fruit, pretzel balls, etc...

Sugar snap peas, carrots, sliced cucumber, broccoli and cauliflower, radish, celery.
I definitely have garbagey snack ideas because one thing I love is a snack but this is a way to add a more nutritious option into the mix too.
That…is not homemade ranch
Oh shut up. Sorry I didn’t powder my own buttermilk and dehydrate the herbs I grew and then add milk from my own farm cow to make it a dressing. You know damn well I’m this context homemade = not the bottle dressing
NP. Your explanation still doesn’t make it homemade. Anything made from a packet is by definition not homemade. It’s not bottled but ut also isn’t homemade.

Sometimes the kids come with me and pick out whatever refrig/frozen/pre-made stuff appeals to them and whatever snacks are on sale this month.
It really shouldn't be this hard.
Yep. I was going to suggest giving your teen a weekly budget and taking said teen to Trader Joe's once a week to do the shopping. Wait in the car with a cup of coffee.

It's still better than bottled and I can't wait to try this recipe!
Do you have a "homemade" ranch recipe you could share?
