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?

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

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

6. Crackers with peanut butter and I love those almonds with wasabi or hickory smoke.
I wish I could get myself to eat fruit, but I really only like it mixed in with other things.

7. frozen blueberries
I could eat about 1000 bowls of them as finger food.

8. Neat idea. Tossed some blueberries I was going to have with cottage cheese yesterday.
Moldy, even in the fridge.

9. Sometimes my local market has markdown cases
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.

10. I'm trying REALLY hard to lose weight so I'm sticking to yogurt and fruit as my sweet munchies and cottage cheese as the non-sweet munchie.

11. Raw Almonds, Sargento White String cheese, apples, 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.

I guess they don't google all the foreign words until dinnertime.
