    My snack for the past couple of nights has been a handful of Pretzel Crisps, 2 tablespoons of roasted red pepper hummus, and 6 bread and butter pickle slices. :D

    I just started on a hummus benge. I forgot how good it is as a snack. I was going to have my grandbabies try it but unfortunately once I got started I couldn't stop eating it. I had my box of Sociable snack crackers and sat in front of the tv to watch Macquiver and well what can I say. :D

    I love hummus and usually make my own; it's really easy. I also love chickpeas (garbanzo beans) by themselves; I open a can and rinse them, then eat 'em like peanuts.

    I buy packs of dates from Aldi , they are always nice and soft … I press a bit of walnut or almond into the date and eat that for a snack.

    We also buy a 18 pack on mini Kit Kats and share half each :D
    think they are about 80 calories per serve ( whole mini Kit Kat ) , DH even keeps a few in the car centre consul in a mini Tupperware container for snacks while traveling.

    It is ok. I no longer have them or any sweets available in my house. You are a better woman than I am, @Kate Ellery ;)

    Since we eat our main big meal earlier in the day, we usually have a snack early evening. Lately, it has been a mixture of sliced fresh fruit; banana, apple, and mango. The Mr. usually eats a slice of hard cheddar cheese along with his fruit.

    I ate a light supper and had a craving for salt & butter, so I made popcorn.

    My mid-morning snack on the job was cut fruit from the grocery store and some cheese.

    At one point in my career, I worked for a French company that catered lunch for us every day. Once a week we would have baguettes & butter, yogurt, cheese and fruit. It made a nice change of pace, and you didn't feel bloated all afternoon.

    After finishing off the hummus and crackers I started on cinnamon raisin bagels and cream cheese unfortunately I didn't get to finish those off my granddaughters did :rolleyes:.Mom eats bagels with butter they said so the cream cheese was new to them.

    Went to the farmers market this morning. If I ate THREE ears of corn is that considered a SNACK?

    For some reason, I got a hankering for cinnamon toast tonight. It hit the spot.
