When my kids are hungry after school—or when I'm feeling like I didn't have quite enough for lunch to tide me over until dinner—I'll sometimes just knock out a few of these little tuna melt crackers.
Tuna salad can be whipped up in a hurry (and works in a whole host of easy-delicious recipes) and, after that, it's just portioning things out. My daughters will rush though a plate full of these. On lazier more relaxed nights, I've even been known to make them as the center of a snack dinner.
