Snack time!

So around the CookBook Homestead, we've been trying to eat healthier.  Mostly this just means paying more attention to what we're eating so that we (and by "we" I mean "me") can't be all "oh, I'm sure I had veggies today... like in that enchilada, right?"

My weakness is snacking.  This partly has to do with the fact that I am up at 6 am but don't eat lunch until noon (in a school with three lunches you can eat as early at 10:30 am or as late as 12:15 pm).  In the past couple of years I've switched from vending machine candy to granola bars but snacks that require more forethought than hauling the Costco box in from my car are a challenge for me.

But while watching Anthony Bourdain tramp around Maine, I made up this little number:


Apple and Havarti cheese on a Wasa sourdough cracker (the apple is left over from the apple & basalmic vinegar reduction we had for dinner with pork chops).  I think it's a Jonagold.  Do other people in the country care this much about what type of apple they use?

I even made up a little snack pack for tomorrow.  I'm guessing this will last for about 3 days, but I'm going to enjoy my nutritional awesomeness while I can.

PS- Thanks to Mom for the Wasa cracker idea!

Your snack sounds great! I love Wasa crackers. I'm glad you are both eating better and more creativly.

And, I commented FIRST! Although the Comment Queen seems to have dropped out of sight since Payton arrived.

Wasa crackers leave a HUGE mess. Or maybe it was just me?

I have never tried the crackers but it looks good enough to eat. I know what you mean about snacking the only way I control myself is not to have any in the house but that is sooo boring. G&GBook
