Gourmet Organic Crackers, Organic Fruit, and Artisanal Cheese

It's around 2:30 pm and I'm getting hungry again. What can I eat for a snack that's quick, healthy and delicious -- and will hold me until dinner time?

Well, one thing I always have on hand is some locally grown organic fruit, and some artisanal cheese. I do have several kinds of crackers I like but until recently didn't have anything that really wowed me -- I just eat what is available, more or less.

A few weeks ago, I discovered a new cracker that wows me: Organic Stoneground Wheats, baked wheat and flaxseed crackers, made by Back to Nature.

They are perfect for a slice of cheese (this week I am savoring the last bits of an imported fresh Lancashire organic cheddar, and a new wedge of my old favorite, Tonje's Farms whole-milk "Rambler") and a bite of fruit, perhaps savored with a tall cold glass of Trader Joe's Organic Blackberry Lemonade and lemon-lime seltzer, with a twist of lime.

Ahhhhh! Now that is a snack made in heaven, delighting my palate while satisfying caloric requirements (on behalf of my waistline.) Obviously, the trick is to eat just a small amount and stop, which is easy to do when the ingredients are both delicious and filling. Great fiber and healthy carbs, wholesome dairy, and fruit -- 3 major food groups right there.

Try this combo! I think you will enjoy it as much as I do.

Yours for extraordinary dining -- for everyone,

Nancy
