Last week of school! Last week of school! LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL!

Can you sense my excitement? I have so many fun things planned for the summer but mostly I’m just excited to sleep in.

You know what doesn’t excite me? Getting a “low balance” alert on the kid’s lunch account a week before school lets out.

Yep.

And I know, I can pack him a lunch in 10 minutes. But… my husband is deployed and I have 3 kids and an idiot husky and sometimes I just want to take the easy way out. Whine, whine, whine.

I’m refusing the pay the $3 fee to fund his account for 5 days of lunches and I’d already gone to the grocery store for the week so… it’s time to get creative!

How To Make Ranch Goldfish Snack Mix

I think Goldfish are quite possibly the worst snack in the world and every time my kids beg for those little cartons of fish at the checkout lane in Target I’m like “WHYYY?!”

I would pretty much choose anything over Goldfish.

But as it turns out, if you coat Goldfish in butter and ranch dressing mix, I’m a fan.

To make Ranch Goldfish Mix, you mix Cheddar, Parmesan, and Pretzel Goldfish crackers with pecan. That gets tossed in melted butter, worcestershire sauce, and a packet of dry Ranch dressing mix. And then bake it for about an hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
