So I find myself craving some munches from time to time at home. And no, not because I'm smoking doobies....I'm not. But even after a not small pasta dinner tonight, still find myself wanting something more. And I often find myself wanting a little something something, be it a snack or dessert. But I'd like to keep it at least somewhat healthy. Sweets are great, but they are an occasional thing for me. Very occasional. As in rare. (Except when Girl Scouts are selling their cookies. Then all bets are off.)
So, what are your suggestions?
Now, the obvious answer is fruit. And I love fruit. I also eat it for breakfast every day, and don't want to overdo it, for three reasons. One, you CAN overdo anything, even fruit. Two, somehow I've managed to eat a fruit breakfast just about every day for a year without getting sick of it. I'd like to continue not being sick of fruit. Three, I really like variety!
So....suggestions? FEED ME!
Edited to Add: By the way, when I say "healthy," remember, I am not a health nut. I eat relatively healthy, including plenty of fruit, veggies, salads, fish, etc,, but I am not adverse to nor against pizza, buffalo wings, and beer. And sometimes beer. Ad of course beer. S "healthy" snacks is relative. Something good to munch in, something semi nutritious and filling, and something that involves little or no prep on my part (unless it's something I make a big batch of every so often that lasts a while). And of course it has to taste good. So, with those criteria, fried cheese balls, jelly beans, and Twinkies are clearly out.
By the way--and I'm not kidding on this one--the first person to mention rice cakes gets a smack in the head. People have been trying to push those things on me for years, and no matter how often I've tried them, or what the flavor is, they always taste like styrofoam to me.
