We all know how it goes. The forecasters predict some of the fluffy stuff and suddenly you can’t find milk or bread within a 25 mile radius. Next time you’re prepping for a little snowed-in fun with the kiddos, skip the bread and opt for wonton wrappers. They make delicious mozzarella roll-ups when you wrap them around a cheese stick — a perfect snow day snack. Just dip in marinara.

Trust us.

snow day snacks: crispy onion chicken strips - (cool) progeny

Earlier this month, Whole Foods launched their “Update Your Apps” recipe book. Easy, simple ideas like mozzarella roll-ups that make delicious appetizers and simplify entertaining. (You can pick it up for free in store!) But even if you’re not throwing a party, these ideas are fun-for-the-whole-fam. What could be more yummy on a snow day than finger food?

We love their idea for salted caramel hot cider (move over, cocoa!) and crispy onion chicken strips. A little finger food picnic — dinner, done! Kid food that will please adult palates, too.
