raisin bread, crackers with PB, chips-- just foods we refrain from eating as much as possible now that we are older LOL

Bowl(s) of cereal. Those things were bottomless. And to think that I now measure mine out. Sigh......

One of my faves that I still eat is a banana with peanut butter and chocolate chips on top.

I also ate carrots and cheese with ketchup. My mom would buy the long carrots with the stems off the end so I could eat them like Bugs Bunny.

And occasionally "quesadillas" which were just tortillas with cheese inside from the microwave.

Apples and peanut butter.

Or "snack" cereal (my mom never let us eat the sweet stuff for breakfast).

I used to come home and make chocolate milkshakes. Chocolate Icecream, milk, and a blender. I'm not longer swimming 3 hours a day, so my daily milkshakes days are long gone. But man, they could make you happy.

Top Ramen. Daily. I shudder at the thought now...

I remember when... unforgivably, kids today have so much homework that their day does not end at 3:00, like ours did.

But snack wise, I used to come home and make a grilled cheese sandwich....yummmmm

This is going to sound VILE, but when I was 11, I was totally into white Wonder bread spread with yellow mustard and mayo. That's it! What was I thinking??

chips and salsa. Specifically Sams Club monster size bag of discount chips and gallon jug of salsa. Guess mom knew how much i liked it!

No snacks? Between meals snacking was discouraged.

I never really had a real after school snack. I had to stay at our after school program til 6 every day to wait for my dad to pick me up. They used to give out juice and cookies everyday (even to middle schoolers) but I usually passed since it was pretty gross!

3:00? I wish. By the time the bus got to our stop it was after 4:30 so we just waited till dinner at 5. Ah, the joys of living out in the middle of nowhere. Junior year and my own car meant a snack before work though, usually a pack of crackers and a can of warm coke!

My sister and I would spread saran wrap over a bowl and put shredded cheese on top and melt it in the microwave. Then we would just eat the melted cheese with our fingers. It was quite good.

Hot pockets, for the love of god!
My mom kept the freezer stacked. Yikes, delicious though they were!

Usually cucumber spears with salt or open face grilled cheese with tomato. Still some of my favorite snacks!

I'm with laurainalameda and jrossi1217 - grilled cheese! I would make mine on a toasted english muffin and "grill" it in the toaster oven. Drink of choice was Nesquick.

I used to dip chunks of old cheddar into peanut butter. This was usually followed by spoons of nutella...I miss my teenage metabolism.

I don't remember the earlier years, though I was always in after school care or sports, so I didn't really have time at home before dinner (or even during dinner, since we often ate out). But in high school, I would microwave a bowl of frozen peas with a dash of water, salt, and pepper. They came out plump and sweet, and I ate them like candy. Yum. I make these a lot as a side dish for lunch or dinner now, and my kids like peas too.

Dill pickles and an ice cold glass of Sunny-D. All while watching Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? Perfect!

A bowl of Cookie Crisp! Occasionally my brother and I could eat sugary cereal for a snack. Mostly it was ritz bits or some form of cracker w/something on it (PB&J, cheese...). Granola bars were good for high school between school and track practice. Or string cheese and piece of fruit.

my babysitter always made me grilled cheese sandwiches and/or spaghettios. i was never hungry for dinner and it pissed my mom off!

I'm embarrased to say my snack as a young teenager was to throw ripped up american cheese, bacon bits and ranch dressing into a mug and devour. Boy, have my food habits changed!

Little Debbie snacks!!! Cheap and yummy!

Chef Boyardee Ravioli. Loved it.

ricecakes with american cheese melted on top and raspberry ginger ale, this was the closest thing to junk food that my parents allowed in our house

My mom popped us popcorn on the stove, and let us have kool-aid, almost every day. She would spread a blanket on the living room floor so we could eat in there and watch TV (The end of Bozo, and then Little House on the Prairie- we only got one channel)! I remember she would use a muffin tin to hold the cups of kool-aid. We liked to dip our popcorn in the kool-aid. And I also make popcorn for my kids, almost every day. Except I make it in the microwave in a brown paper bag (they don't like it on the stove). I also spread a blanket in the living room, and we all eat it together!

Sauteed onions or mushrooms on toast was our go to snack after school. Junk food was only in the house if someone was having a party.

Veggies and dip, string cheese, or apples with peanut butter. I always envied kids who got cookies and fruit snacks!

Top ramen, sourdough bread dipped in cold milk (ugh), quesadillas (flour tortillas with sharp cheddar fried in butter in a cast iron pan), and Spaghetti Sandwiches. This was before the low carb craze (clearly). I would heat up left over spaghetti, toast bread and melt cheese on it, then fill the sourdough with spaghetti and wrap it in aluminum foil to hold it all together - like a burrito.

My grandmother would serve me stewed rhubarb with a left-over tea biscuit or bran muffin... and of course a big mug of tea (half milk). Miss you a bunch Nana!

Every day I came home and made a big pot of ramen soup. Totally loved it. Much like Greta, I shudder to think of it now!

At least I usually threw in a lot of sliced carrots.

Prepackaged foods were Hot Pockets and Tostino's personal pizzas. If I "cooking" myself, I'd heat grated sharp cheddar over leftover noodles in the microwave, stir an egg into Top Ramen, make Mexican pizzas (salsa on a tortilla with cheese on top), burrito with honey (just honey in a warmed tortilla). I forgot how good those tortillas were--I grew up in AZ, so we always had fresh ones. Now I buy sad whole wheat ones. We also always had a crate of oranges and apples from Costco because I loved them so much.

When I got to high school, I used to eat a Cesar salad everyday before heading to work. I'd buy those huge bags of romaine from Costco, and just add some bottled dressing and Parm.

bowls of strawberries sprinkled with sugar, french bread and butter, nutter butters, those striped cookies with a hole, leftovers from dinner the night before

Some cheesy wotsits and a chopped up apple or a cup of mashed banana and petit filous. So yummy!

A good Dutch afternoon treat EVERY afternoon after we got off the bus ... tea and a cookie. Not two cookies, ever. Always one. Often a speculaasje. Ahhh...

My mother was a teacher, so usually I would come home with her from school and wouldn't have a snack when I got home.

BUT - If my grandmother were visiting at my house, I would usually take the bus home, and I would come home to a bowl of orange juice with apple slices in it. She would make it a little bit before I came home so the OJ would soak into the apple. The best part was, obviously, the apple wouldn't brown at all - because no kid likes to eat brown apples. ^.^

Warm apple turnovers from our apple tree and tall glasses of milk were often waiting for us when we got home- we walked- about a mile each way (yes, and uphill both ways too!) :)

I would make nachos, hot pockets.
I would microwave marshmallows on paper plates and wait for them to cool and they taste like space ice cream!!
