Any ideas for some snacks for Seth and I (healthy or just plain good:)??? I really need food between meals, and having ideas planned out in advance helps to thwart my fridge raid, frustration, and eventual turn to the "dark side" (i.e. chocolate).
**One snack idea I came across was grannie smith apples thinly sliced with peanut butter and craisins on top. It is pretty good!
**I also like maple walnuts (walnuts with 1/3 cup maple syrup in a saute pan until it caramelizes).
Any one have any other ideas for good snacks...healthy or indulgent? I can't be eating apples and nuts forever:)

Jenika...I have tons...I totally had to come up with my own recipes when I was pregnant...I like imitation crab baked with sweet chilli sauce (fat free and full of protein)...hummus and pita (low fat and tons of protein)...carrots dipped in mango salsa (fat free and lots of vitamin A and C)...home made baked sweet potato chips...email me and I will give you the recipes and more ideas if you want... aimei.chiu@gmail.com
My baby loves green peas. She is younger than Seth though. I just keep a bag in the freezer. Buddy boy likes meatballs. We also have pretzels dipped in hummus or peanut butter.
yum! those are good snacks. my boys like olives for snacks, wierd i know.
I am in the same boat you are in. We are in a snack rut as well. I like to think of lunches and snacks as being in the same category. So anything you would give to him for lunch you can do for a snack too.
-We like making healthy muffins or cookies to serve with fruit and milk.
-Cheesesticks with crackers/fruits/veggies
-smoothies (fruit or chocolate with banana)
I think the most important thing is to make a list of all of your ideas and post it on the fridge so that you don't have to think too hard when you are hungry and ready for a snack. It's also helpful if you plan some when you are planning your weekly meals.
Sorry, I don't have many great ideas. But I hope to find some soon. Good luck.
Thanks for your comments on my blog. I'm not always great at responding to them.
