Fall is a really busy time for those of us in school. We happen to know several people who have nearly full-time jobs, and a full course load too. At least one of these people almost never has time to...
We usually talk about batches of nuts around the holidays. They make good gifts, and they're perfect for setting in bowls around the house during a party. But why not snack on them year-round? They'...
There comes a time in everyone's life when you're standing in the kitchen at 2am (pants optional) testing recipes. The quickly approaching morning sun seems irrelevant when you're busy creating the s...
Q: A lot of my friends have gone off to college and I would love to make care packages to send to them. Do you have any suggestions for semi-healthy mailable treats? Sent by Libby...
They're a picnic/family reunion/potluck staple, but we've been eating just one or two deviled eggs as a quick snack lately. Hard-boiled eggs are so nutritious and easy, and devil-ing them takes no tim...
School starts this week for students all over the country, and many of us are also filtering, reluctantly, back into regular work schedules after summer vacations. To make the transition back into w...
Have you ever had a cheese straw? No? Yes? They are a total staple of an old-fashioned Southern appetizer tray, so if you're from the South you probably know what we're talking about right now. We hav...
We all strive to eat more vegetables during our day-to-day adventures, but there's something slightly lackluster about opening your bag or container to find just six sad little carrot sticks. Dips ca...
After the making of our funnel cakes yesterday, we sent the men of the house out for some, well for lack of a better phrase, junk food. We wanted to try our hand — just once! — at maki...
No, these weren't a mistake. Remember these brownie ice cream sandwiches we mentioned earlier this week? Well, we only got as far as the brownies, never making it to the sandwich part. And they're so ...
Do a search for low-calorie snacks and carrot sticks are sure to pop up at least a few times. They're certainly healthy, but they just don't do it for us and feel very much like "diet food." But pickl...
Peppadew peppers stuffed with goat cheese are one of my favorite super-fast, no-cook appetizers. I love to serve them to guests and introduce some of them to the sweet piquante peppers. But they're al...
When it comes snacks to keep you fueled while escaping to the park, on a roadtrip, or to the country, nothing beats peanut butter. It's full of protein, easy to store, and so yummy. Here are five sn...
Sometimes, a little comfort or support or comfort is needed, or just love. The cook has in the kitchen all the magic to make the loved ones feel better. A little thought, a little nibble is enough to ...
Beef Jerky is a great way to get a little pick me up during your day and is a great take along snack for your summer road trips or backpacking adventures. Although it's protein packed and great fu...
Radishes are one of our favorite bright spring vegetables. Last year, we almost overdosed on radishes with butter and sea salt (so good), so we started thinking of another option for snacking. The cre...
Something about spring makes me want to throw healthy cooking to the wind. Of course there is plenty of good cooking to be done in the spring with all those temptingly fresh vegetables, but after the ...
Yesterday we reviewed Emily Franklin's Too Many Cooks: Kitchen Adventures with 1 Mom, 4 Kids, and 102 Recipes, a great book full of improvisational cooking and healthy, practical, delicious recipes. W...
Looking for a fast, sweet, comforting snack to nibble with your tea? Here's a childhood favorite that needs only three things: cream cheese, sweet honey, and soft sandwich bread. ...
Hey, take a look at this! It's President Obama's afternoon snack. What do we spot? Butterfly crackers, cheese, carrots, and is that a slice of pear? ...
Oh yes. All the cuteness of a cake pop, all the fun of an easy appetizer, and it's all wrapped up in bacon....
Do you have any recipes that take you straight back to childhood? These peanut butter balls are one of those for us. But they're not just an exercise in nostalgia: these quick, easy little snacks are ...
When we posted a snack of Yogurt Swirled with Peanut Butter, Honey, and Graham Crackers last week, a few people commented that they'd love a regular "afternoon snack" feature. We thought that sounded ...
Did you eat graham crackers with peanut butter when you were a kid? We did. (Of course, you won't find peanut butter anywhere near a preschool these days...) This is a grown-up version that satisfies ...
This may seem a desultory question, not too connected with the greater stream of culinary conversation. But as many of us admit to feeling less than inspired in the early days of March, we couldn't he...
