Snack?!

Sometimes these prompts are funny.

I am no authority

Just in case I come off as one…

I have no elevated snack advice.

I love popcorn and chocolate and pretzels especially those peanut butter filled ones, and nuts. Um

I wouldn’t describe myself as a regular snacker, even as a small child, I liked a meal. I had a wide pallet and always ran around so much that when suppertime came I was hungry. Plus I was one of those that drank from the hose and didn’t go home all day. You know THAT generation.

When I had my own children, there was a lot of inbetween meal eating, I felt like I was always either making food or cleaning up after. I was a vegetarian for a couple of decades and definitely felt hungry more often. So in those days, I made a lot of bread and biscuits and healthy cookies, tofu-pudding etc…yeah. Don’t worry, I relaxed my health-kicky snack making when they were teenagers. (but we can all appreciate the horrors of being the brown bread hippie family)

My adult kids still chide me about our 90’s version of health foods, but what can I say, I was doing the best I could, homemade granola by the feed bag and all, whatever, it was an era🤷

These days I don’t seem to have the same need for snacks. If I slow down during the day, I love my hot tea and heavy cream, which I know, is not a snack, and I’m not recommending, because ginger tea is (I’ve been told) NOT a crowd favorite! Nor is warm coffee or really any warm drink. Off trend. So Sorry ice coffee friends, I might be still in the dark ages, and by today’s standards, a lousy snacker, but I think we can (mostly) all agree on chocolate ?!
