Favorite Snack?

[brilynn79]

I am trying to snack a little more...just wondering what some of your favorite snack combinations are?

My go to snacks have been...

Air popped popcorn sprayed with olive oil and sprinkled with dill and freshly grated cheese

Crostinis with fig goat cheese and fig preserves

Honeycrisp apple slices dipped in ricotta with sprinkled with cinnimon and drizzled with honey

Lend me some more suggestions...

Wow that's tough! For me it depends on what I'm in the mood for.

Pita points and hummus
Prune bread and tea
Spinach and Feta Flan (just a small wedge)
Sweet potato chips
Tuna and crackers
Homemade trail mix
Red Bean and Raisin Bread with low fat cream cheese
Pear wedges with feta cheese

[cheesemaestro]

Clementines
Dried cherries
Another vote for figs in any form
Pita with hummus or labneh
Cashews (or really any kind of nut)--I prefer them roasted and unsalted.
Frico (fried rounds of grated, hard Italian cheese)
Crostini or toasted bread with olive tapenade
And those maddeningly addictive Japanese rice crackers that I have only once in a while because no matter how much I buy, they are all gone within a day or two.

Crostinis with brie and carmelized onions

A really fantasic chicken wing, fried naked (no breading) tossed wtih a my hot sauce & blue cheese dip

Popcorn with parm cheese and garlic salt

I also love a honecrisp apple, but with a hint of salt, will have to try the ricotta though

Smashed Avocado / bacon and toast

For me, roasted carrots sprinkled liberally with sea salt

Hard-boiled egg whites and any fruit (right now I'm on a persimmon kick or honeydew)

Cottage cheese mixed with cooked barley or brown rice, sweetener, vanilla and cinnamon

Baba Ghanous and pita

Quesadilla with whole wheat tortilla and low fat cheddar/jack cheeses

Scooped Potato skin filled with low fat cheese, cottage cheese and salsa or beans and salsa

Lentil Salad in a Pita

Roasted Sliced Peaches sprinkled with Cinnamon

How do you hard boil egg whites?

[enbell]

My guess would be to just boil the egg normally and remove the yolk when finished :)

[c oliver]

Then why not eat the whole thing? What happens to the yokes? You're no fun :)

[Emme]

my dog loves the yolks, and they're good for his coat!

[c oliver]

I've done the same when I need a yoke for a recipe but not the white. I'll MW and they get a little treat.

I've just discovered figs. I love them for a snack, right out of the container. Something dark about their sweetness. Haven't tried Calimyrna figs yet, but the mission figs I've been eating are very good.

Lately:
cucumber slices alone or with homemade hummus
low-salt roasted almonds (just a handful)
apples, usually gala
watermelon wedge (I live in FL)
edamame
celery sticks
hint of salt Triscuits with goat cheese
red grapefruit

[Cherylptw]

Extra sharp cheddar & saltine crackers
Ripe Bartlett pears
Homemade oven baked tortilla chips sprinkled with seasoned salt
A bowl of cereal with 2% milk
Peanut butter & jelly on 8 grain bread
