snacks

We might have consumed five thousand calories yesterday (mostly in chips), and before we succumb to the pressure of polishing off the last bits, there could be a better way that beats eating them straight out of the bag.

Having grapes, yogurt-covered almonds, and Chex snack mix within arm's reach used to make for a pretty good road trip, but there's a whole new list of essentials to pack now.

Now is not the time to hold back on snacks, and the more creative, the better. Would you dare dip string cheese into a jar of peanut butter? Yes! Break some food rules and escape from stress.

I loved stocking the freezer before all of this, and I especially love it now. When grapes are about to go bad, throw them in the freezer and you'll have bite-sized popsicles whenever you're in the mood. Bananas, yogurt, and pretzels will help you win the freezer game too.
