I'm pregnant, so I'll have to wait at least a year for that glass of wine, too.

I LOVE cucumbers! I LOVE pears (my favorite fruit)! Funny about the candies. I LOVE gummy candies, as well. Sweets! Yum! I don't have children yet. I'd share my snacks though. My passion is cooking/baking food. I LOVE making banana bread. I also make garlic bread. Whatever bread you have, melted butter and stir in some garlic bread seasoning, spread the mixture on the bread and toast. I LOVE spaghetti so I make that. Mostly, it's bread here for snacks. I'm from a different country so I dunno how I could share some brands and all that. Whatever is in the fridge. hehehe! I LOVE honeyroasted peanuts! I LOVE cucumbers! I LOVE pears (my favorite fruit)!

I love that place! I buy a lot of dried fruit, and I love that their packaged items like cereal bars are all-natural and made without preservatives and yucky stuff. They are better (and cheaper) than many of the supermarket options! When we are at our "regular" grocery store, I almost always pick up a bag of the Natural Cheetos and a box of Annie's bunny crackers. They are staples in our house. I also like having a fruit bowl on the counter or table. My son is way more likely to choose a piece of fruit when he can readily see them, and it's pretty, too!

My favorites change frequently or else I get bored ha ha. Cottage cheese with hot sauce is one of my new favorite snacks. Those Edy's fruit bars look good. I linked to my favorite healthy snacks.

They make the perfect snack and only need to be microwaved briefly or just allowed to thaw. Frozen grapes and frozen bananas are good summer options as well. And, when I was a kid we thought making our own fruit popsicles was awesome! I make apple oatmeal mini muffins and pop them in the freezer.

No Tuesday Tours this week? I always look forward to that. Healthy snacks are tough. Pretzels are great. I buy the whole grain Goldfish. I do not buy fruit snacks EVER. They are awful for their teeth. I rarely give them chips except with burgers for dinner. I do buy granola bars which I know is nothing more than a glorified candy bar but it's a compromise. I don't buy cookies very often. Snacks are HARD! :-) What? No Tuesday Tours this week? I always look forward to that.
