Teri, thank you for taking time for all of us to think through some great satiating and whole snack recipes. You have listed some great combos I hadn’t thought of before. It seems that snacks and lunches are the two main things on people’s minds that I often get asked about. So this is a great resource. Lunches are harder for me to answer though, because as we’re talking about so much this week in our series lunches are a great time to embrace leftovers, and so I’m not usually thinking of creating something new for lunch. Can’t wait for your Cooking for One recipe on Saturday!
Thanks for the great ideas! I am breastfeeding, so I’m always hungry and looking for new snack ideas. I think I need to get some dates and/or figs.
One of my favorite hearty snacks that makes me feel great is Raisin Bran Bread with almond butter. I bake 4 loaves at once and refrigerate or freeze all but the one that’s out on the counter in a box, so it’s pretty convenient.
P.S. Did you realize Urban Naturale’s party is supposed to be for vegan recipes only? I’m not vegan, so it’s okay for me, but her instructions for the party ask for no animal ingredients.
Oops! thanks for pointing that out- I didn’t realize.
