A Sweet Tooth Problem

In case you hadn’t noticed, my blog is kind of a mash-up; writing, books, my dog, puzzles, a memory here and there. I like to think of it as a patchwork of random thoughts. I’m not a food blogger and I don’t intend to become one (with the exception of sharing a fantastic recipe now and then) but with my new healthful eating venture, food is on my mind a lot right now

Earlier this week I made a zucchini pepper stir fry. It was so good!

Peppers, onions, and zucchini drizzled with a mix of vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, paprika and cumin. I added a few Chow Mein noodles just to give it a bit of crunch! The next day I reheated it and had it in a whole wheat wrap for lunch. The flavor was even better the second time around. I’m going to introduce some salmon and eggs into my diet next week to boost my protein. I’m not really an “egg” person, but I do like hard boiled eggs crumbled in my salads.

So with fruit bows for lunch and a ton of neat recipes for dinner, I’m pretty well set for meal ideas for awhile. What I’m short on is ideas for snacks that actually seem like snacks. I have a terrible sweet tooth and an equally terrible habit of snacking before bedtime. I’ve been looking online for healthy snacks to replace my sweets with. I’m definitely not a celery stick or Greek yogurt kind of girl. Like I said, I want snacks that don’t seem like a punishment So if any you healthy eaters out there know of some amazing snack ideas and want to send suggestions my way, it would be greatly appreciated!
