Today, for my Weekend Cooking entry, I'm posting a photo of my daughter-in-law Estée's 'snack shelves.'
There used to be snacks on the bottom shelves, too, but Campbell Walker helped himself! You may see on the right that the next shelf over has dog snacks. I think this is a great idea for parents of little kids or really anyone who enjoys snacks. My particular favorite is Mediterranean Medley.
We rarely eat between meals - so no snack shelves are needed! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteCheers from Carole's Chatter!
Even as a kid I didn't eat many snacks. The only thing I really love is potato chips, but I don't buy them very often. ;<))
DeleteYum! That Mediterranean Medley sounds really good!
ReplyDeleteIt was pretty good!
DeleteI think it's a great idea to keep nutritious snacks around -- perfect for growing kids and active adults who crave a little something to tie them over to dinner.
ReplyDeleteShe really does try to provide the good stuff for her little boys.
DeleteGood to have them all in one spot - and up higher for enterprising young men. Our Ezra managed to down two mini-bundt cakes I sent up north - all by his little self. While I was flattered that he thought the pumpkin bread to be good, he was certainly fired up by all the sugar. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Mediterranean Medley looks good, Nan.
Such a funny story!! And yes, very flattering.
DeleteWhen I see cranberries I don't think Mediterranean. This snack looks like something I could gobble up.
ReplyDeleteWhat, no bogs in Italy? haha!
DeleteNice to have them all in one place when the urge to nosh strikes or you are grabbing a snack to go. ;-) I agree that the Mediterranean Medley does look tasty!
ReplyDeleteYes! I thought it such a good idea that I had to share it.
DeleteThe Mediterranean Medley does look tasty! I like the idea of snack shelves - especially for kids. That'd save me a ton of time having to help figure out what they want and prepare it if they could just grab something off the snack shelf.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! And the shelves will be even greater when they are older.
DeleteMine is a snack drawer, not a shelf. Right now, though, what with me still moving things around in the aftermath of the Big Switch, the drawer is not in the sideboard, and the snacks are in a cabinet where I normally keep tools and other things. All will go back to normal soon, though, as I love my flat to be tidy.
ReplyDeleteI know you do. This moving stuff around is not for the faint-hearted!
DeleteI'll have to look into getting some of the Mediterranean Medley! Looks delicious. Our snack shelf includes dried apricots, roasted (no salt) almonds, pita chips and Dove dark chocolate squares.
ReplyDeleteI love the last one on your list! I have the Barefoot and Chocolate Hazelnut spread. ;<)
DeleteThere is nothing so comforting as s good snack shelf.
ReplyDeleteYes!
DeleteFortunately we have a door that my granddaughter can't open so the pantry and snacks are safe. For now. Glad you posted the Mediterranean Melody snack. I will look for it at Trader Joe's.
ReplyDeleteFor now. That's just about it, isn't it? Every day my granddaughter can do something new, and she's always way ahead of me!
DeleteLOVE this! Both as a photograph to keep for posterity ... and as an illustration of how to snack in a healthy way.
ReplyDeleteOh, that makes me so glad that I put it up. Thanks!
DeleteI also try and do this. Pasta in one place, etc. Makes it easier to know when I'm out of something.
ReplyDeleteIt is a good idea. When our kids were in grade school we had a similar shelf from which they could help themselves to after-school snacks. Fruit, peanut butter, nuts, that sort of stuff. It worked, nobody overate or became fat and they were still always ready for dinner but not starving for it.)
ReplyDeleteThat's really great!! Perfect.
