Now that the kids are back in school, no doubt you’ve gotten the note about sending a “healthy” snack with your kids so they don’t get so hungry during the day.
It’s always a challenge to find something that is easy to keep, satisfying and healthy. Family Circle Magazine Assistant Food Editor Melissa Knific gives some great ideas for parents to make sending healthy snacks with our kids this school year.
Knific, Assistant Food Editor for Family Circle, joined the magazine in 2011. She works in the test kitchen developing and testing recipes, continually aiming to create food that is healthy without compromising taste.
After spending years working at daily newspapers and trade magazines, Melissa decided to enroll in culinary school so she could combine her love for both journalism and food. She earned her degree at The French Culinary Institute (now known as The International Culinary Center) in New York City.
