Num Nums.....


When I am having on of those paperwork type of day, I need brain food.

On any given data day I have in my num num bowl-

Raisin and a few nuts
lightly salted pretzels (they actually make them now)
thin ginger cookies
pizza flavored potato chips (one of my favorite Japanese snacks)
freshly made guacamole and tortilla chips
homemade granola


You can buy snack bags to pack your favorites in. If you mmake your own snack bags, you can portion control what you really like to munch.

Most grocery stores have a bulk section these day - I always can find raisins there.

You can get a largish bag of pretzels and clip it between fills.


The next time I make guacamole or granola, I will post the recipes.

Weekend stuff-

Memorial day is coming up. I decided to do a low dough feast.

Breakfast was cinnamon bread with honey butter and freshly made coffee.

The grill was fired up and we did burgers (I had a buffalo burger that was great), sausages, hot dogs and corn (ears buttered up, stripped of its silk and wrapped in foil).

Refrigerator review netted spicy macroni salad.

I made a cheesecake for a friend's daughter's graduation and with the extra batter, made a small version.

The total spent was $20 for a weekend's worth of food for the both of us and guests.

May Day-

The last two days have been rough and I could not wait until the weekend to get some rest. I got a call from friends to do babysitting and I get to sit a three year old, a nine month old and two pit bulls who think they are lap dogs.

I had a great peanut butter and jelly sandwich today - which got me thinking about making an upscale version of it and other compfort foods. I need to ruminate on it a little longer to see what I can come up with.
