Fancy a snack..? What would you rustle up ?

[pestowithwalnuts]

I'm lying in bed on Mumsnet and I really fancy some bubble and squeak and an egg fried both sides..maybe a few mushrooms.
Which of course I'm not going to have...I've got no left over potato and my liver would be dancing ..trying to burn this off.

Cheese on toast. With a few mixed herbs sprinkled on top and tome teeny tiny dollops of ketchup dotted around before grilling

Or cold chipolata sausages that have been cooked in honey and mustard and dipped in sour cream and chive dip / Chipotle mayo

Or Hot sliced pitta breads with houmous dip or whipped feta dip

I can’t sleep and am contemplating getting up for a cup of tea and a bowl of cornflakes. If anyone would like to make me a proper snack though, I’d like a sandwich made with toasted brown bread containing strong cheddar, beetroot, cucumber, spring onions and a side of salt and vinegar crisps, please.

And gherkins - sliced baby ones. Please don’t forget those.

Definitely cheese on toast with Italian seasoning herbs on top.

I can’t sleep and I know there are Bakewell slices in the cupboard so now I really want one!

Ok so I’m pregnant so mine is probably weird, and sounds more like a meal than a snack but I would love, Longley farm full fat cottage cheese on its own in one bowl, and then on another plate next to it I would like black olives, mini gherkins, jar pickled beetroot, posh cherry tomatoes, red grapes (and if I wasn’t pregnant I would also like Parma ham and salami Milano on there too!)
OR
lemon tart 😂 with raspberry’s on the side

I quite fancy a thick slice of mature cheddar with a hearty scoop of Branston small chunk pickle on it.

Cheese
Crackers
Piece of toast
Cheerios
Banana
Cashews preferably roasted

I couldn't handle my stomach being in bits if I ate late.. if I woke up hungry I'd have a banana or toast and tea if desperate or ill

Left over cold new potatoes dipped in salad cream.
Or
A banana and peanut butter sandwich.
Or
Black olive tapenade on little seeded crackers.

Crackers and cheese with some pickles. I have this or toast if I’m eating late

I have those delicious sea salt and lime tortilla chips in the cupboard, and I made peanut butter dates coated with 80% dark chocolate with sea salt on top that are sat in the freezer.

I'm trying to ignore both.

Another cheese on toast and like a pp tomato sauce dripped on cheese before grilling.😋

Tea and toast.... simple, perfect comfort food ❤️

If you mean what leftovers I have in the fridge to raid, then I have a bowl of this https://www.recipetineats.com/vietnamese-caramelised-pork-bowls/
otherwise tonights meal was this

There are also some crisps, olives and various dips if you need snacky things.

A sandwich made with really fresh white bread, cheddar cheese, mayo, and tayto cheese and onion crisps on the side.

A big think slice of the Brie that’s calling my name from the fridge

Which reminds me, I ran out of potato salad yesterday. During the summer I tend to keep a bowl in the fridge (oil not mayo dressing, mustard, garlic, lemon black pepper etc) for either lunches or just picking at. Will redo tomorrow.

Toasted mozzarella, basil and tomato panini with mayonnaise.

Cheese and crackers.

2 potato waffles, one with melted cheese on one with a fried egg on.

Nice baguette with Brie, tomato and basil. And lots of black pepper. I don’t mind pesto either but it’s fine without.

@YouBelongWithMe i have just googled and bookmarked recipe for dates with peanut butter & chocolate...have 2 big bags of Medjool dates going begging Any tips ?

I de-stone the medjool dates and use a knife to fill the space with peanut butter (I use crunchy, but either is fine). Whack them in the freezer.

Over a simmering pan, I melt the dark chocolate with a little coconut oil and let it cool.

The colder your dates, the more quickly the chocolate will harden and make easier to work with. I just dunk them in, roll about in the chocolate and then place back on some greaseproof paper -lined tupperware. A grind of sea salt on top 👌

I keep them in the freezer and try to eat one a night.

They satisfy my sweet craving with being too crammed with processed sugar (the darker the chocolate, the better for this).

I’d like a bowl of sliced plum tomatoes, shredded good quality mozzarella and fresh basil sprinkled with some
sea salt and drizzled in EVO.

I do similar, but instead of peanut butter I pop a whole almond inside the date then dip in chocolate. I’m definitely copying the sea salt idea next time.
