What Do You Feed Babysitters?

About once or twice a week, I have babysitters come to watch my kids. Sometimes it's because I have work that I need to do. Sometimes it's because I just need some "me" time.

These sitters are usually here over lunchtime, so I always provide something to eat. Usually I heat up a frozen pizza or some type of frozen snack-type food (like mini quesadillas, cheese sticks, mini tacos, etc). I am pretty sure my babysitters think that I am the worst cook ever. Hubby says I should feed them hotdogs (which happens to be P's favorite food), but I can't bring myself to sink that low.

So what do you feed your babysitters? Any suggestions for something that will be met with enthusiasm and not require any major cooking skills?

Whenever my father-in-law comes over to babysit, he LOVES it when he finds a 9X13 dish of lasagna in the fridge.

How old are your babysitters? If they are teenagers like mine are then they are not impressed with cooking skills. Frozen pizza or eve frozen appetizers work. Trust me. I have a 15 year old.

I leave my sitters the exact things you described....except I bake cookies for one and all. I think the junk food and cookies are why they say ,"Yes!" when I ask them to babysit. LOL!
