It's 5 PM and you're already thinking fondly of when the kids will finally be sleeping (c'mon, we know you've felt this way!). To get things moving in the right direction, why not serve up some sleep-inducing foods!? They're great for kids that need a bedtime snack, or for yourself if you've been having a tough time hitting the hay. They'll bid you both bon appetit and nighty-night with every bite.
