food should taste good | adventures in snacking

Of the many things I love about visiting my sister and her family in her Super Huge City, finding new snacks has got to at least make it on the list. Here in Tiny Town, we have but two grocery stores, neither of which I frequent anymore. Usually I drive to Still Small But Not Quite As Tiny Town to do my gathering of food stuffs. So every time we go visit my sister, there is always a new snack I'm introduced to. These snacks, fortunately, are almost always healthy - because that's just how they roll in the Super Huge City. This trip I scored two great snack ideas - one for my kids, and one for me...and only me because I'm not even going to let my family taste these treasures for fear that I'll have to share.

In my quest to eat less sugar, finding a crackery, crunchy snack has been hard. Finding one without a bunch of unhealthy oils and salt to make up for the loss of sugar makes it even more difficult. That is until I discovered the fabulous company of Food Should Taste Good. Well, it really should, don't you think? And in this case, it most certainly does.



While I tried the Sweet Potato Variety in Super Huge City, I found these little gems at Fred Meyer and I have to say, they are delicious...if you like olives, that is.

That kid snack I found? Well, because I am now sugar aware, I try to find snacks for the kids that aren't quite so high in the white poison. I clearly can't remove sugar from their diets right now. Well, I suppose I could, but the fits of rage that would ensue make me choose to not fight that battle, not just yet, anyway. For the younger set, the Z Bar, by the makers of the infamous Clif Bar. They actually are pretty yummy. Sometimes I sneak one, and the kids love 'em. These taste treats can be found at Costco.



Alright then, enough of my mindless chatter. Enjoy those snack tips! I have some actual fun tidbits to post soon. Actual images of Spring Break, and other good stuff that isn't quite so pointless.
