grape tomatoes: a simple pint of grape or cherry tomatoes as snack always hits the spot for me !!!

Veggie tray: To keep it really simple, I make a veggie tray the same way I would for a party, only a little smaller and I add a fav dip, or my husband’s fav ranch and we crunch away.

carrots, cucumber, radish, snap peas, anything that’s easy and readily available at the store.

Cowboy Caviar: What about a bean-veggie-salad-type-situation? There’s a bazillion different recipes - which you can take from or leave from. Open a couple of cans, chop a few things, and you’re scoopin’ for a few days!

Snap peas/ sugar snaps: I am kind of terrible at feeding myself and illness/fatigue often mean i am not cooking much & afraid of doing dishes. So sometimes I am not thriving vegetable-wise even though my mother is from California and worships at the altar of produce and would be very ashamed. So anyway, keeping snap peas in my fridge is such a good vegetable snack - super good raw, super easy, taste like a vegetable treat.

Marinated Cucumbers: Okay I got put onto this recently and it’s changed my life!! So what you do is mix equal parts white vinegar/apple cider vinegar with warm water. Then you can add whatever really: some salt, black pepper corns, some sugar (not much tho), really anything. Then you just add thinly sliced cucumbers and store in the fridge. Delicious snack for any occasion!!

Little Gem Lettuce Wraps: I get these from Trader Joe’s — you can get them anywhere, but if you’re already at TJ’s, you can also pick up a delicious packaged chicken or tuna or egg salad (the Greek-style chicken salad or the Buffalo chicken are my faves!) and pop it into each lettuce leaf as filling. Maybe add a few microwaved meatballs to upgrade it to a meal!

Samin Nosrat’s Kid Crudités: My favorite super-simple snack: cutting up cucumbers, carrots, or other crunchy veggies into spears and then dressing with rice vinegar and salt. Wait two minutes, then dive in!
