Hummus (my son eats a ton of it), grapes, blueberries (sad they're going to be gone soon), Gala apples, Cheerios, lots of veggies, sliced turkey and ham.

And, I'm almost positive Wal-Mart has the kid cereal trinity (for those of us of a certain era)--Boo Berry, FrankenBerry, and Count Chocula!

I like to roast a chicken on Sundays as well, so that I have food all week. It's easy and there are so many ways to flavour/marinade the chicken.

So, what's usually in your fridge/pantry?
In my family, my wife cooks. So, I 'go to' what ever she cooks up or has as leftovers in the fridge.

With a 8 year old and a 3.5 year old, the fridge is usually stocked with snacks and fruits. Was addicted to the Jello based mandarin orange kiddy snack for a few days a while ago too.

Eggs, sharp cheddar, pepper jack and various other cheeses. Omelettes, frittatas, quiche & egg salad. Or just cheese & crackers.

Canned beans - garbanzos for hummus, black beans & pinto beans. I like bean dip & can whip it up in a flash if students pop over.

Crackers of many different varieties. Carr's Rosemary Crackers, Rye Ry-Krisp, other Carr crackers, Ry-Vita & Diamond Brand Pecan Crackers.
Tortilla chips, jalepenos & salsa. For nachos.

Pickled Beets in a jar & Artichoke hearts.

Raisins, dried cherries, figs, dates.
Nuts. Pecans, walnuts, almonds, peanuts. Pumpkin seeds.
I like to my own fruit & nut mix.

Nut butters. Almond, cashew, peanut.
Right now I'm on a Spicy Peanut butter kick.

Peanut Butter Company's "THE HEAT IS ON"
This is often lunch on a spoon. It's great on celery & a PB&J with pear preserves.

I always have homemade pasta sauce, basil oil, and raspberry sauce in the freezer. For snacks, I keep a batch of spicy, lemon/basil marinated olives and roasted peppers to have with manchego or thinly sliced imported provolone.

Ok, my 'in a pinch don't feel like cooking' meal would be scrambled eggs. Or a can of tuna with green onions and some capers.
