Easy Snack Ideas

Not too long ago, I made a list of easy lunch ideas for those days when we're all thinking-challenged and stuck on pb&j.  After that I had a request for some ideas for those mid-afternoon snacks.  Since I love my friend, and I love easy food, I thought I'd comply.  I'm like that.  So here are some easy snacks that we like to have at our house.  Some of them also double as our lunch or breakfast ideas -- just usually not on the same day!  Eat up!  (And  please feel free to share what you do when the hunger monster strikes at your place.)

yogurt and granola

apples and peanut butter or honey

fruit (especially strawberries, grapes and bananas) and marshmallow creme dip

trail mix

chex mix

cereal

vanilla wafers and peanut butter

popcorn with parmesan cheese sprinkled on it (or plain)

cheese sticks

whole grain crackers with topping of choice (peanut butter, cheese, cream cheese or jelly)

quick breads (banana, pumpkin, sweet potato)

muffins

fruit kabobs

tortilla chips with shredded cheese or salsa

soft pretzels

dill pickle spears

graham crackers with icing

applesauce

dried fruit

ants on a log

Jello

pudding

popsicles (we like Edy's)

I also found some cute snack ideas from Family Fun.  So if you're feeling creative, take a gander at those.
