I mean, what is a carrot to smoked almonds!Since becoming a full time student, my snacking habits have taken on a "buy what's least expensive" attitude, (which some days results in eating a handful of dry oatmeal) but in my lavish frugal days:<BR/><BR/>* fresh homemade bread<BR/>* avacoado<BR/>* hummus (but I have a hard time finding a really good brand I like)<BR/>* Muenster cheese<BR/>* my blue cheese garlic dip<BR/>* almonds (especially smoked)<BR/>* coconut<BR/>* a mixture of coconut, chocolate chips, and chopped almonds<BR/>* peanuts - in the shell<BR/>* Samoa Girl Scout cookies<BR/>* tortilla chips with salsa and cheese, then warmed<BR/>* apples<BR/>* m&ms<BR/>* Keeblers CLUB Multigrain crackers<BR/>* Lindt chocolate (the round red balls)<BR/>* See's or Mrs Cavanaugh's chocolates<BR/><BR/>I realize most of these might require more than grabbing a handful and going on about your work, but they work good for having next to you as you read and annotate a 30 page essay for English class.Minhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01563575285017895356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7317146076532815711.post-71161027369242683912009-02-09T14:12:00.000-07:002009-02-09T14:12:00.000-07:00Kent is right.

I can't just grab a square to eat while I do the dishes. I literally have to sit down and concentrate on the subtle, changing flavors in their chocolates. The first time we tried them, Kent and I took notes about the texture, flavor, etc. Plus, they are too pricey to group with my snack foods. But definitely worth the splurge every couple of years!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01583286432601536145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7317146076532815711.post-12894780997377769412009-02-09T12:48:00.000-07:002009-02-09T12:48:00.000-07:00Mary, I can't believe you left off Amano Chocolate...Mary, I can't believe you left off <A HREF="http://www.amanochocolate.com/" REL="nofollow">Amano Chocolates</A>.

Red licorice is a fave as is popcorn. But chocolate, of almost any form (and I know I'm not alone in this), is my snack of choice. Come to think of it it's my meal of choice.Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13735013592389681469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7317146076532815711.post-64621470932485585742009-02-08T21:51:00.000-07:002009-02-08T21:51:00.000-07:00Andi--I haven't been there, but I will now make su...Andi--I haven't been there, but I will now make sure to check it out.
