Who doesn't like a little snack? Yummy and fairly healthy, too!
My family has a salad recipe I'll share sometime, but I modify it a little and voila! a tasty treat!
Toasted nuts (I've used pecans, walnuts and slivered almonds...just whatever I have on hand!)
Crumbled Feta cheese (flavored or original...Gorgonzola works, too!)
Sliced apple (I prefer Gala, but choose your favorite!)
Raspberry vinaigrette dressing
Combine any amount in a bowl...how hungry are you? How many are you feeding? Really, just whatever amount works!
Drizzle just a LITTLE bit of dressing over it and YUMMMM!
I just chowed down or I would show you some pictures. :)

Helpful Gadget
Do you have one of these?
Super helpful for chopping anything! Especially onions, since my tear ducts get a work out when anything with an onion peel comes my way.
It has two pieces that insert separately. Each one with a different size of cutting tool. Then all you do is put your onion or garlic or potato or carrot or whatever on top of the cutting instrument and press the lid down. Voila! You have a chopped vegetable. And the container at the bottom has marking for measurement, too. So it's super easy!

Pioneer Woman is a blog that many of you probably read. I've tried out a few of her recipes. They're really easy to follow and absolutely delicious!
Her Restaurant Style Salsa
This was absolutely wonderful! It was still fresh a week later! So good!
Live By Chocolate Cupcakes
These were good, too. Rich, though. And the Hershey's Kiss didn't melt inside like I was hoping it would. Also, many of the kisses stuck to the pan, and dropped out of the cupcake. Pushing them back in is easy, but I need to think of a way to do it slightly different next time.
Drip Beef
The Pepperoncini's gave this a WONDERFUL flavor! I will most DEFINITELY be making this again! (over and over and over again!)
This recipe is from a friend at work. I usually just add a can or two of Rotel to Velveeta, but this! This is flavorful, HOT and yummy!
Queso
(Please pardon the slightly burnt edges. I'm still figuring out my crockpot apparently...)
