Snackfood Confessional.

I feel like my first efforts were unfairly hijacked, and as this blog just proved its usefulness yesterday...

Torr: HONEY, I CAN'T FIND A RECIPE.
Me: @#$^! IT'S ON MY USELESS BLOODY BLOG.
Torr: <333 ^_^ :D LOL FLATBREADZ kthxbai*

... I really can't bring myself to let it fall by the wayside totally.

So this seems like a great time to bring up my love of snacking.

Yes ma'am, snacking.

Though I'm absolutely a proponent of vegetarians as purveyors of very naughty habits, I'm really not convinced that noshing between meals deserves the heinous rep it's been branded with in recent years. Certainly, snacking rounds out my diet as I typically eschew large meals - and sadly, I don't appear to be experiencing any ill effects as a result. I don't take a normal lunch break, and variety is the cornerstone of my cravings, thus many of my "meals" consist of any bits and pieces that strike me as tantalizing, or staggered munching throughout the day to keep my bitch streak at bay.

So, what's the punchline? Your homework: compile favorite vegetarian snack list, add a witty riposte, post to comments.

Here's mine:

* smoked almonds + tamari
* organic frozen berry medley, as is
* Whole Soy and Co. peach soy yogurt
* fresh fruit: strawberries, oranges, pummelos, mangoes, pomegranates
* whole steamed edamame
* vegetable gyoza, cold
* bars: Odwalla Super Protein, Kashi TLC Honey Almond Flax, Kashi Roll
* pistachios
* raw almond butter
* chilled tabbouleh salad
* Riceworks: Salsa Fresca + sliced avocado
* chocolate covered cacao nibs
* baked sweet potato fries + fresh herbs

Erika, you know which one you're at fault for. x.x
