1. Played with making hummus when I was chef for a not busy restaurant

They had big cans of chickpeas from before my stewardship so I just started playing with it and sending samples to the bar. It is very versatile, takes other flavors well and won non-hummus people over easily. Love it with roast garlic, lemon juice, fresh green herbs like italian parsley. Roast red peppers.

My favorite snack is probably quesadillas cooked in a bit of butter and topped with sour cream cream, guac and pico de gallo.

Or if not cooking, chips and salsa. Worked at one resto where I found out that I literally could not stop eating chips and salsa.

Kale chips with grated parm baked in the oven is another fave.

2. Thank you very much, GreatGazoo. for sharing your snacks

[lapucelle]

3. Thanks for these posts, debm55. They always cheer me up.

I like both salty and sweet, so I'm going to say Wise potato chips in one hand and Nestle's Toll House chocolate chip bits in the other.

[debm55]

5. Thank you lapicella for your kind words. there is a candy maker in the area that makes chocolate covered chips and

pretzels. Love them. I love that they are made with real chocolate and not the waxy kind.

[Onthefly]

4. Unsalted potato chips

Sometimes hard to find.

[debm55]

6. thank you Onthefly. I don't think I have ever seen them in my area. The Pita chips I buy are unsalted.

[sueh]

31. I enjoy unsalted potato chips, too. Utz makes a no-salt added chip that I like.

But they are hard to find, too. About the only time I see them on the shelf is when they're on sale.

[debm55]

35. Thank you , sueh. I will look for them.

[EYESORE 9001]

7. I am a man of many moods

Today, my favorite snack was pistachios. It’ll be something else tomorrow. But, let’s say I came across a ‘snack buffet’, where I had all kinds of choices. Hummus & pita chips is a definite contender. I once remarked that I could subsist on that alone if I had to. At this moment, the best thing I can imagine is smoked Gouda on a poppyseed cracker.

[debm55]

8. Thank you very much, EYESORE 9001. I like your idea of a snack buffet. I think you gave me an idea for another post.

[multigraincracker]

13. My latest is a mixture of pistachios(shelled) mixed

with bitter chocolate chips.
I eat a lot of nuts and seeds.

[electric_blue68]

15. That sounds like fun!

[debm55]

16. Thank you multigraincracker. That sounds very good.

[kimbutgar]

9. Have tried Baba Ghanosh with pita chips?

very yummy

[debm55]

10. Thank you kimbutger. I have had it . But for some reason it has been hard to find in my area. I like the taste of the

eggplant.. Thanks for reminding me to look again for it tomorrow.

[kimbutgar]

11. I have tried several brands but if you have a sprouts where you live they have some.

I tried making it myself but still haven’t found a good recipe.

[debm55]

[KitFox]

21. Popcorn or kettle corn

that I make in this old popcorn popper (a Whirly Pop). I also like to snack on that spicy rice cracker and sesame cracker mix. Sometimes I snack on apples and veggie sticks, but they aren’t top of the list 😁

[debm55]

[ailsagirl]

[Freddie]

26. Tom Sturgis cheese pretzels

Maybe a regional thing? Made in the Pennsylvania “snack belt “.
Also love red pepper hummus. First time I had it I ate a large quantity and remembered the next day that hummus is indeed made from beans.

[debm55]

28. HAHAHAHHAHAH. That's funny Freddie. Thank's for sharing.

[boonecreek]

27. Potato chips with French onion dip

or nacho chips with fresh salsa, the hot stuff.

[debm55]

[womanofthehills]

30. Deb - I love humas too - with Late July lime tortilla chips

But check this list for Humas with the lowest amount of glyphosate.

“ EWG Tests of Hummus Find High Levels of Glyphosate Weedkiller”

(0rganic had the lowest but Walmart’s Marketplace was among lowest. ) Article lists brands tested.

https://www.ewg.org/research/glyphosate-hummus

[debm55]

39. Thank you very much for that information. womanofthehills.

[Different Drummer]

32. Caramel pretzels and Lance peanut butter crackers. (n/t)

[debm55]

40. Thank you very much, Different Drummer. I love Lance peanutbutter crackers. I used to walk down to Drug Store, They had

[underpants]

34. Must include crunch. Crunch is part of my food pyramid

I must have something crunchy every day. I guess it’s an auditory thing.

[debm55]

42. Thank you underpants. I agree with you.

[catbyte]

36. Hummus with toasted pine nuts and naan are awesome, but for when I'm feeling lazy, nothing beats

onion/chive cream cheese on a few Ritz crackers.

[debm55]

45. Hummus with pine nuts is what I eat too. Thank you catbyte. I eat the onion/chive cream cheese on Wheat thins.

[Polly Hennessey]

37. Tostitos organic blue corn chips and Newman's Own medium chunky salsa.

Also, cashews and an apple.

[debm55]

38. Thank you very much, Polly Hennessey. Both are great.

[yellowdogintexas]

43. Cheese and crackers is my downfall! However I do love popcorn and it is healthier than cheese

We have one of those collapsable silicone poppers which you use in the microwave. That thing is awesome! We like them so much we have given one to everyone in our families who has their own kitchen. Everybody loves them, and they are not expensive.

Plus you use regular old plain popcorn, so no chemicals or artificial flavors.

I am another member of Team Crunch.

[debm55]

44. HAHAHAHAHA. Team Crunch. Thank you yellowdogintexas. I like your suggestion for the silicone poppers, Will have to look

that.

[CentralMass]

55. On the Keto diet, cheese isn't bad but the crackers are.

[electric_blue68]

46. Popcorn w white cheddar, dark chocolate bar w/wo nuts, guac & chips....

hummus w garlic, or roasted red peppers & pita is nice, too.

[debm55]

64. Thank you electric_blue68, Enjoy.

[3catwoman3]

47. Potato chips, potato chips, potato chips.

Lays' Sea Salt and Cracked Pepper are a favorite.

The Meijer grocery store chain has carries their own premium brand of several products, Frederick's. One of the premium flavor choices among the potato chips is a cilantro-avocado-lime potato chip which is fantastically delicious.

[debm55]

[LisaM]

56. Cheese and crackers, or cheese and radishes.

I do have to remember to wash and cut the radishes as soon as I get them home from the store, but once they're cut up and ready, they go really well with sharp cheese.

[debm55]

73. Sounds very interesting . Thank you LisaM. Enjoy.

[Dem2theMax]

57. I guess I'm weird. I never snack. Unless you count chocolate as a snack.

Any form of chocolate. If I'm going to have extra calories, it's coming from chocolate.

[debm55]

74. Yes, Dem2the Max. chocolate is a snack. Enjoy.

[Duncanpup]

I love to make guac also. And homemade dipping crackers

[debm55]

62. Thank you Ontheboundry. Homemade guac is great too.Excellent.

[ProfessorGAC]

60. I Go Back & Forth

Sometimes chips & salsa, sometimes flavored potato or grain chips, sometimes flavored pretzels.
I think I get snack fatigue & switch to another format. Eventually, the loop starts over.

[debm55]

[Captain Zero]

[Dulcinea]

I'm addicted to Smartfood, but any popcorn will do: cheese, butter, caramel...

And chocolate. Chocolate is one of the things that makes life worth living.

[debm55]

79. Thank you very much Dulcinea. Enjoy.

[Unladen Swallow]

80. Homemade beef jerky

I usually make it from london broil when it goes on sale. Salt only.

Venison and elk jerky are close seconds.

[debm55]

81. Very good Unladen Swallow. I have had venison and I really liked it. Thank you and enjoy.

[Unladen Swallow]

82. I'm glad you did!

It took me a while to warm up to the taste of wild meat, especially venison. I only began hunting seven or eight years ago, having grown up on grocery store meat my entire life prior. Hunting changed my life however, and I see store-bought meat in a different light. I eat a 99-100% meat-based diet and so jerky is a necessity for when I get the urge to snack.
