Snack Time

I went to the grocery store hungry yesterday. Never a good idea. I bought Lunchables for the kids for a snack, sushi for the kids AND myself... for a snack and all of this for the kids and myself... FOR A SNACK! Apparently my snack attack meant munching my way through all the departments in the store for goodness sake!

Perhaps it was because I was dreaming of my Twilight party this weekend that I just HAD to have a pretty little platter with fruit, cheese, olives and meats... and a separate bowl full with little baguettes- but who's counting calories here!

I ate a couple pieces of sushi and saved the rest for the kiddos and then made this wonderful platter. My kids felt so special when I took the cover off of it and told them to enjoy. There's something really satisfying seeing my children enjoy a variety of foods that some kids may find yucky. Not too many kids enjoy spreadable sharp cheddar cheese or hard salami or a variety of olives.

What's your favorite snack? I have to admit- lately mine are olives, hard salami, cheese and crackers. It means a couple extra squat sets in the gym but it's worth it to me,
