With kids, pick up some jelly packets from McDonald's to go with the peanut butter - they've sold em to me for like 10 cents each. I also bought individual peanut butter cups from Jif I think. Makes for a good, easy pb&j sandwich (I carry the wheat sandwich thins myself vs tortillas).
Clif bars, trail mix, jerky, cheese sticks for snacks. Try to take something with some fiber...
My son likes Mountain House and when 8-12ish, thought it was cool too.
They are great in my opinion for a good, hot dinner after a long day hiking/hunting.
