Oh, I do love a snack! Carole asked for my top ten this week, so here they are:
1. Cookies! Especially dipped in a cup of hot tea.
2. Hummus and carrots. Blog-free Spring’s recipe is my favorite, but in a pinch I like Tribe’s lemon hummus.
3. Apple and peanut butter. I like this best in the fall, when the apples are local and crisp.
4. Cheese and triscuits. Neal used to make a stack using cheddar cheese for my drive back to New York, and even sometimes when I was flying back to Albuquerque. It’s a sentimental snack for me, best on the road.
5. Pretzels. Dipped in hummus, they make a nice crunchy snack.
6. Oranges. Blood, navel; it doesn’t matter. Oranges are a fantastic snack.
7. Fage Greek yogurt with honey, craisins, and a few chocolate chips.
8. Tea and digestives. I got in this habit the summer I studied in Oxford, and whenever I have elevenses, it seems the perfect snack.
9. Roasted chick peas. Better than chips!
10. Ice! If Neal has a coke, I beg for his “coke ice”. I like cranberry, seltzer, and a squeeze of lemon over ice, mainly for the ice. I know it is bad for my teeth, but I love, love, love the crunch of ice.
I will try the roasted chick peas!
is Spring willing to share her hummus recipe?
That’s a slightly different approach to the roasted chick peas than I’ve tried so far. Will have to give it a go and see if I actually get crunchy ones this time!
love your list – much more well-rounded than mine – I think you touched on all the important food groups 🙂 greek yogurt is a new favorite for me, and in a pinch, I’ve found that the whole foods non-fat plain yogurt is pretty good too – it’s thick and tart and the perfect backdrop for granola or fruit or even a carrot stick.
Triscuits and cheese are sentimental for me, too. When Dale and I were dating (and he was trying to impress me) he would slice cheddar and place it on a triscuit with a tiny piece of green pepper. Then he would bake them in the oven until the cheese melted. They were delicious@
those cookies look delicious, and i will have to try roasted chick peas!
