| I'm looking for some good snack foods. Something healthy, I can make a lot of it, and won't put a strain on my wallet (and still has some good flavors/tastes). It's easier for me to munch on stuff during the day then to actually try making lunch for just myself. Does anyone have any good recipes? |

Hi Jackie,
When i'm home during the day I rarely eat a lunch just for myself either. Instead, I try and keep fresh fruit around for the baby and I eat some of it too. I sometimes make a cheerio mix that is cheerios, raisins, dried fruit (and sometimes M&Ms--do this at your own risk!) and that fills me up. Hard boiled eggs are an awesome snack that fill you up too. I have also discovered whole wheat tortillas--I'm a huge peanut butter person so I put a few tablespoons of that in a tortilla with a little honey, or banana, or whatever sounds good and roll it up and eat it that way. Maybe this helps? I've found that if I don't buy much junk, I won't eat it but if I buy a bag of Chex mix or something I shouldn't be having I will eat the whole darn bag!! Hope this helps! |

Jackie & Briana,
You ladies sound like me, I enjoy spoonfuls of peanutbutter as well! Chop some cererly to put it on. I like the mix bag of cereal and m&m's, sweet -salt-chocolate sounds fantastic, unfortunately after a few days I'd be in big trouble :)
Are the snacks needed for you only? Instead of snacks, what about asking friends to try some samples of their teas and having a cup of that instead once an afternoon. With all of the flavors, decaf or caf, dietary benefits it might help with what your looking for.
I like left over chicken or meat from dinner the night before. If we have cooked chicken breast, I save some for Hubby''s lunch anyway, and I'll slice it w' a dab of ranch dressing. That way I get the protein to get me through the day and the carbs are so little I won't 'crash' and then later want more.
My daughter likes to grab a small bag of frozen peas and cook it with a little salt & pepper, butter for her snack or easy lunch, we split it.

| Hi- I know some of the granola bars are really good out there you do have to watch some of them are pretty high in fat. My little one and I like to break-up in a bowl with some Kix or cheerios. Apple slices are her favorite and mines also. Lori |

| Snack foods are mainly just for me. My son is only 5 months and isn't quite there yet. :) I'll do the same thing as Briana and eat the whole bag of chex mix if I buy it pre-made, and that doesn't work well with my diet. I'll have to try the combinations that everyone has been suggesting. I figured if I could make some kind of snacky goodness, I'll be able to mix it up easier and it'll be a little cheaper than buying snack foods. |

Jackie- Sometimes when I was on weight watchers that was before My little Molly I ate cereal. Ones with a little flavor just a cup or two with out milk instead of chips. I did have a few fav's Honey Comb and Frosted Mini Wheat also Capt Crunch. They killed my sweet tooth.
Just Trying to help

| I don't know if you would be interested or not but I buy a thing of celery and a big bag of baby carrots. When I get them home I cut the celery to the length of the carrots and wash both then put them in two diff. containers filled with water and I have snacks for the whole week plus it is very healthy. I also love jerky. |
