After school snack
As much as I love dinners, I am a snacker at heart. Ask any one who knows me in real life, I rarely stop snakcing on something, but I never eat a lot at a time. I probobly eat less than most poeple, I just eat it through out the day. My snacks vary widely. I go through really wonderfully healthy phases, where I crave things like fresh tomato salads and spinich smoothies, and then I have my days where I crave my less than completely healthy stuff, like sharp white chedder and Tims Jalapino Chips. lol...
Today it was Hummus. I saw Laurie's hummus post a week ago or so and have been thinking about it since, and what did I find the pantry last night while looking for chili beans? Two cans of organic chick peas. Ahhh... sweet heaven! I made a double batch of the stuff, and put half in the fridge, and then added feta cheese and spinich to the other along with a couple garden cherry tomatos and we had the after school snack from heaven!
All of this with fresh carrot sticks from the CSA picked this morning. Can't get much better than that.

Your snack looks wonderful, at any rate. And so healthy for a mama growing a wee one! :o)
Hummus also works in a blender if you wanted to do a smaller batch. I don't know that the noise would be much better, but it may be worth the risk. ;)

So did you blend in the feta, spinach and tomatoes, or did you eat it with them. I've never eaten feta with it. I bet it was good!

....I say as I just finished a scrumptious morsel of Noir Framoise Chocolate I got in Belgium. Oh the sweet decadence. (mind you the kids are at school and I am indulging in some well earned moon treats.)
Its apple season here again. Picking starts tomorrow! It is a real sweet anniversary for us. Not to mention yummy!

Cyan started school here today. I am a little down, and wanting to go get her, but she will be angry if I don't let her come home on the bus. lol... Such an independent little thing I keep feeling like I need to hold her close because she wants to go away so hard. *sigh*
