Thanks! Some great ones in here. I'm gonna add a fave - almonds jumped in the frying pan with a bit of olive oil, then shaken in rosemary and a tiny pinch of top quality salt. When you make quality snacks, the pleasure is so much more intense; the prep and waiting time builds the experience into something more exciting. Subscribing.
Omigosh! Strawberries and sour cream!!! This takes me back. I'm going to have to have some this week. Also, I'm liking the black and white food photos. They really capture the textures of food!
So glad, Betty! Love the snacking dinner idea...perhaps that's a collab East-West Coast post? The black and white was an impulse...I was in a film noir mood.
I am a fan of most of these suggestions! I’ll have to try grilled tangerines…🤔🤩. Love your message. Our house has many food platforms through the years (with four now adult children and an organic food background) but eating clean and Whole Foods is the number one criteria. Thank you for spreading the most valued message out there…we are what we eat. 😉
Thank you, Jen! Very similar here...the college kids now say, "we didn't realize how good we had it" (eating my health-leaning recipes! Thank goodness it stuck despite the Grubhub competition!
Yes! Of course momma loves a cake, or a pie, don’t get me wrong….haha But we were always trying to use at least the best ingredients and cut out processed food. So I think, like you, we were a bit ahead of the game that people face today. There are sooooo many unhealthy choices.
This has so many brilliant ideas for snacks – often one of the most difficult things to make healthy – thank you!
Wonderful ideas here! I want to make every one! Thanks, Ellen!
I really love food and never spoil a good opportunity to eat well...and I love living life, too!

True! Why not elevate the snacking with fresh rosemary perfuming the simple almond- we owe it to ourselves!
I love sardines with romesco sauce!
Excellent post Ellen, such delicious and healthy snacks.
Thank you, Lisa. So glad to have you here!

Sounds like you did an amazing Mom Job! 🥰
Fantastic ideas and suggestions in here. Thank you!
Thank you, Tim...I always love to know what inspires!
Super suggestions! So many delicious choices. My snacking just took an upgrade to way more healthy! Thanks.
I sense you are a pretty balanced snacker already! Thanks, #1
Delicious! Excellent suggestions to up my aperitivos game. I'm definitely trying the marinated carrots and grilled tangerines. Thank you!
okay, I'll be right over!
Great 😋 Thank you 🙏
You are the kindest...and, I suspect, a wonderful cook!
Not wonderful 😇
What a wonderful column! It always makes my hungry, but this is filled with healthy eating snacks!
These are great for starters when easy entertaining, too! Great to hear from you!
yum!
Thanks for the great ideas Ellen!
Great ideas Ellen! I will definitely try these
This is so good that I must save every single recipe! And wasn't The Residence grand. I love Detective Cupp.
Took me a few episodes, but I love the sense of humor! Knives Out!
