Oatmeal, Green Eggs-in-Ham Quiche Cups, or Hole-y Eggs! Keep kids energized with
a Real Food lunch, such as Hail Caesar, Jr. Salad, Turkey Pinwheels, or Egg
Salad Double-Decker Sandwiches. Seaman and Steel's snacks include Zucchini
Tempura with Horseradish Dunk, Chewy Granola Bars, Happy Apple Toddies, and much
more. Serve a mouthwatering family dinner: Peachy Keen Chicken, Super Steak
