What's a sandwich without a handful of something crispy by its side? A bowl of soup without that morsel of bread to sop up the last drops? Lunch just wouldn't be the same without a few sides to round out the meal.
This bunch of snacks are a boon to any lunchbox. They're all homemade, but most of them don't take much time or special effort. They're also easy on the waistline, so no worries about bringing a whole bag to munch on.

Those Rosemary-Raisin Pecan Crackers are so good. I have a box at my desk as we speak!
I actually make my own version of those Rosemary crisps... way less expensive that way, as they cost like $5 or more per box!
Here's my recipe if anyone's interested:

thanks for reminding me that i don't have "that morsel of bread to sop up the last drops" of my soup. :(
