What are your snack foods? Or day-to-day grazing, small bite foods?

I tend to make one, maybe two, "full" meals a day but have small bites around all day long. I like to pick a bit here and there.

Dinner for me is an event in and of itself. I like the recipe, the prep, the cooking, guests sometimes, etc.

Yet I also like to have at hand snacks throughout the day.

Some of my standards are crackers and cheese or peanut butter, sliced fruit and yogurt, stuff like that. Any other go to quickies?

especially almonds, that along with sliced apples and gluten free tortillas with peanut butter! My favorite "go to" snack.

I know. Total junk food. I don't eat it a lot. But I usually have them around. And Cheez-its.

I wish I could get myself to eat fruit, but I really only like it mixed in with other things.

A case of 12 pints of berries, for $2.

I have to dump them out on a giant tray and sort through and pull the bad ones because in a case that size there will be about a pint of spoiled ones. If they let the case sit for another day or two I'm sure the whole thing would be a loss. Sorting through is tedious, but then the good ones go in freezer bags. I've bought about 5 cases this year, it's really hard for me to resist them at that price.

so I'm sticking to yogurt and fruit as my sweet munchies and cottage cheese as the non-sweet munchie.

unsweetened applesauce and Cherry yogurt when grapes and cherries are in season I keep them around too.

I gave up wheat and most grains watch my sodium and high-fructose corn syrup intake.

Hi,
I'm a salty fan. So for me, home popped corn, not the nuker stuff, pretzels, and lately I have been on a salted in the shell peanut binge.

Peace
