Looking for some snack ideas

Posted: May 3, 2014

I'm sick of candy, chips and peanuts. I know of apples, grapes etc. I go online to look up healthy snacks and get the usual 3 pretzels wrapped in one piece of proscutto with a pretty toothpick sticking out of it (something like that), or they have a piece of weird bread topped with strawberries drizzled with some white stuff (probably yogurt)...blek! (though I do like yougurt and strawberries, but not into gourmet looking snacks.

Looking for some different ideas, Not looking for skinny no calorie type of snacks (unless they taste good).

What do you all snack on that you like.

I've had it at potlucks & gatherings, but never made it myself, but can tell you every time I've had it, it's been delicious and there are variations to the recipe so not everyone makes it the same. Try googling hot taco dip and just checkout the various recipes on-line....sorry.

Just checkef and various recipes on google for baked - and crockpot style hot taco dip.

Nutella and banana sandwich. Or Nutella and p-nut butter sandwich. Or just plain Nutella. Whoa, baby!

Here are some of my favorite snacks: - (SM) - SayItGirl

Rice cakes and peanut butter. Even better if you drizzle some honey over the peanut butter. (Do the honey for each bite, rather than the whole rice cake, or the honey will "escape" all over the place. Great energy-producing snack!

Tortilla chips or a broken-up crisp tortilla with cream cheese.

Any flavor yogurt with granola stirred in. This has become such a fave, that it's become a main staple in my diet - no longer a snack!

Good old BACWGH - L&L

I don't like raisins so I mix my own version of GORP with dried blueberries, raw unsalted almonds, raw unsalted cashews, walnuts, chocolate coated ginger, and hazelnuts, 1# each, from nuts.com (which is a great online order company).

I need stuff to snack on while I work. Sometimes if I'm working at night the crunching helps me stay awake. My last "bag" was cheetos. They were so good but then I remembered reading Dr. Andrew Wel said don't eat anything with oranger artifical color (cancerous). Tired of honey wheat prezels and chips. Going to buy some fruit. I also like dried apricots, but can't sit and eat dried apricots all in one night :-), so need some new snack ideas. Th ...

I just bought some of the new skinny cow chocolate snacks. They are deliciious by the way, although there are not many per serving.

Just wondering what everyone uses as stocking stuffers besides the usual fruits and nuts. I read another post under the DH/SO post about the sweet gifts in a stocking so just thought we could share some tips too. I usually just fill ours with the usual: Fruits, nuts, chocolates, batteries to accompany gifts, candies. My 18-yo informed me that bobby pins would make great stocking stuffers so I might add that this year! I also am thinking of playing a trick on my kiddos, ...

I need ideas for a 'cute something' for an 80th birthday gathering. They are having a few of friends gather for the celebration at a wknd hotel.

My significant other is forever sleeping on the sofa because he works second shift and it looks bad. You cant reverse the cushions on this one and those throw over things keep falling down. Any suggestions. These cushions are fixed but you can get behind them. I put a sheet on it but it looks a bit odd in the living room. I was thinking maybe a flat top flannel sheet or something that would look half decent. I believe it will stay tucked in or can someone give ...

Kids! You start on a vacation and no more than 10 miles and they are asking when are we going to be there? I would like some ideas for my friends, nothing sexy, no bad language.

And do you think pesto would be good or do you think it would throw off the tastes. ...

One is for a dear friend of mine that passed away this week after a long courageous battle with cancer. She has left behind a husband and 2 teenage sons. I'm wanting to take a meal up to them once a week or so to help them get through this time and make sure they are eating. I know there are other friends that will also be doing this as well. Any ideas would be helpful. Also, a couple at our church has taken in some teenage kids every Monday nig ...

I'm looking for some halloween costume ideas for a party my DH and I have been invited to. We'd like to dress as a couple, but we don't have to. We're both on the plus size.

Hi all, My son's last day of school is today. Looking for some fun, inexpensive ideas to keep him busy at home and for both of us when we can be on the go! I don't want video games and/or TV watching to be the main ingredient of his summer days. We don't have any kids in the area his age to play with, and he is the only one at home anymore so no siblings to play with. He is 10 and it is hard to keep him from getting bored and wanting to "veg" all day. Any ideas appreciated ...

Recently inquired about how to make an old chest of drawers presentable for a girl's bedroom and thanks for the ideas. I finally was able to decide on and buy a tapestry, peace sign with suns and it looks adorable! Large enough to cover the top and hang down on the front. I spent the holiday yesterday painting a night stand (well actually 2) for the bedroom, bought from someone on Craigslist for $10.00 and then being as 1 was brown and 1 was blue and they matched in dimensions, got some sem ...

I would like to use blackstrap molasses (organic, unsulphured) for its potassium content, but other than putting it on oatmeal and cereal, I am not sure what to use it with. Would like to avoid baking it in cookies and breads as I want to watch the calorie count. Tried mixing it with water, but did not like it. I have just been diagnosed with hypertension and put on HCTZ. Doc said it is possible that with losing 5 lbs and diet modification, the HCTZ could be stopped. I am trying to use the D ...

My grandson is 10, and a very smart young man. All he is into is computer games, iPad, etc. He will watch a movie on TV if it is something he is interested in, or go to the movies with us when he visits. Besides that, what do we do? He does not like board games (they are not on the computer). Card games do not last long either. Looking for ways to entertain him, interact with him when he visits that does not involve the computer. Any ideas? We live in a very small town so no museums, et ...
