| Best snack ever! |
The other day I ventured into Central Market. That place is like Tiffany's... I find a new gem every time I walk in! This time, I grab my favorite peanut butter (Central Market's brand of crunchy) and see some new items to the left. They are bags of baked apple chips. I am an apple lover so these intrigued me. Bought a bag of the Crunchy Cinnamon Apple. It was love at first bite!
Whether you are an apple lover or not, you have got to try these! Seriously, I will be buying these more regularly from now on. And get this? The only two ingredients are apples and cinnamon. Hell yes! Tasty? Absolutely... beats any chip I have ever tried out of the water!
These are small bags and have two servings each. I got mine for $2 so $1 per serving. I think this is a good price, especially when it can replace another not-so-healthy snack. These snacks are organic too. Apples have one of the highest pesticide count and are part of the "dirty dozen" so going organic with apples is always a good idea.
Keep in mind that I am talking about the barefruit brand. I saw a different brand at Kroger that added sugar. These are sweet enough on their own and do not need sugar!
All you moms out there- even your kids will like these. Perfect fit for a brown bag lunch!
Eat well,

Everyone has one. Every significant other can mess it up or make it wrong. Every plate in your house has probably held it. Every taste bud has savored it. It is your "go to" when you don't want to play Master Chef. It can fit in a brown paper bag and be taken to work. It never gets old. So what is the "it" exactly? Your favorite sandwich.
My favorite sandwich has one standard and then a few topping alternatives. If I were a psychologist looking into this way too much, I would say this bit of info means I am comfortable with change and like to try new things. Slowly, of course. Too much change at once would be overwhelming. Much like changing out my favorite sandwich completely. That would be too intense!

So what is the standard? Crunchy peanut butter. What are the alternatives? Sliced bananas, dried pears, dried apples, or raisins. I sometimes will sprinkle cinnamon or a little agave nectar too, depending on how I feel at the moment (or really, if I think of it).
And bread of choice? Bread is always a tough choice. I am extremely picky with bread, since most breads are highly over-processed and I just don't dig the over-processed stuff. So, my choice is a brand called Ezekial. I buy the Ezekial pita bread and toast it (I love anything crunchy!) Ezekial brand comes in the freezer since it has no preservatives. And, take a look at these ingredients: Organic 100% Stone Ground Whole Wheat Flour, Water,
Fresh Carrots, Barley Flour, Millet Flour, Lentil Flour, Spelt Flour, Soy Flour,
Fresh Yeast, Sea Salt. Wow, I can pronounce them all AND I know what they are. Just what I like!
Now tell me.. what is your favorite sandwich?
Eat well,
