Grazing

[srhcb]

I'm a big advocate of having a full home cooked meal every evening, but on rare occasions when GF is working late or out of town I'll skip cooking only for myself and dine by grazing.

Tonite being just such a time, I started off with a leftover piece of yesterday's frittata between two slices of homemade potato bread. (I could have finished off the frittata last night, but forsaw this possibility.)

Next I had half a dozen Saltine crackers with Cheddar cheese and a stalk of celery spread with Skippy Peanut Butter.

Then, a bowl of Maruchan Ramen (chicken) and another piece of Skippied celery, followed by eight Ritz crackers with Skippy.

It doesn't seem like much, but I'm not hungry. And it was better than take-out or junk food.

Later, I'll have a slice or two of a pumpkin quickbread I made last night.

What do you have when you "graze"?

SB (could have eaten a few potato chips, if I'd had them)

Salami and cheddar, out of hand.

It doesn't seem like much

au contraire , my snacking friend ! I think I'd explode......

(but one of my favorite snacks, not really grazing, are salt 'n vinegar chips between salami )

The fallback snack in our house is unsalted pretzels dipped in hoummos. I've also been known to dip them in peanut butter or cream cheese. If feeling guilty, dip baby carrots.

Plain Greek yogurt with granola and a little brown sugar is popular in my house. Cereal is too dangerous...can't keep it around, I'll eat a whole box in two days. Love the stuff. But granola I can control myself around.

I think I would explode if I ate that much.

But I start with cookies or cake, then I move on to protein and then ramen or pasta. It usually ends up with me being uncomfortably full. Like now.

When I graze it starts with salty(sourdough pretzels or dill pickles) and then moves on to salty/spicy (rice with soy and sriachi or soy and wasabi). I have also been known to eat almost an entire loaf of Boudin's sourdaough bread by myself (as a snack). Yes, i feel like crap afterwards, but it is so good, especially the heels.

I can't cook right now because my kitchen is being painted, and so I have to have snacks instead. I stocked up on smoked turkey, Black Forest ham, and sharp Provolone cheese.
