My gaming group consists of myself as DM, my son, and the other three players are a former co-worker, his wife, and their oldest son. (They also have a younger son who doesn't play with us.) As a result, we've found it works best that we play at their house; we used to alternate between our houses but that just means providing entertainment for their younger son.
So, despite the fact that the other family always hosts our sessions, we alternate between the two families as to whose turn it is to provide snacks. Snacks usually include a cheese-and-cracker tray (usually with at least one meat as well - salami, ham, turkey, whatever) or a vegetable-and-dip tray. We usually supplement the healthier snacks with a bag of candy; M&Ms or Swedish fish candies are both popular. My son and I are also avid Mello Yello drinkers, so we've taken to bringing a 12-pack of that as well when we're doing snacks.
Regardless of whose turn it is, the host family almost always has an extra bowl of candy and/or a plate of cookies available, and they provide sodas and iced tea as well.
As for the PCs, we usually just assume they're eating well enough at the appropriate times behind the scenes unless it's important to the plot to focus on their food.
