Munchies!

Emily, that's a great idea about making ranch dressing with cottage cheese. Do you know of a mix that doesn't contain msg?

Mandarins are a big favorite around here. All the varieties are yummy and easy to peel, but we're especially fond of the "Delites" found in the big blue box at Trader Joes. We might be coming to the end of the season though?

Another thing is the Ezekiel 4:9 sprouted grain bread. The kids and I enjoy just eating the slices plain. It has great texture, loads of flavor, and it's super-nutritious.

Miriam Yvanovich was just telling me how much she and Tony adore endame. On her suggestion, I picked some up the other day. Indeed, they're a very convenient and nutritious snack. Too bad that they're absolutely disgusting. =/

As I'm thinking about these things, I'm realizing how badly I need to whip up a batch of hummus and pita chips.
