Apple and Granola Snack

This could quite possibly be the BEST darn some-what healthy snack I have ever put near my tasty taste buds. And these taste buds LOVE taste! haha

Apple & Granola with a little side of Cottage Cheese? When I first heard of this, I thought, that would have to be the oddest and weirdest combination of ingredients. I mean, apple and granola... ok those are totally normal together. But with cottage cheese? Who would have thought this would actually make you want to run back for 2nd's, 3rd's... maybe more?

If you are or were at all sceptical of trying cottage cheese for the first time because of that runny, thick and gooey texture just like me... you need to give it another go with this recipe!

This is such a simple, quick and healthy snack! Hey, who knows... maybe even the young ones will enjoy!

What you need:

- 1 apple- I use Gala because it's my fav!

- 1/3 cup Granola 

- 1/3 cup Cottage Cheese

1. Wash your apple. You don't want to eat all those germs... think of all the people that pick through fruits and veggies at the super market. YUCK. 

2. Cut your apple into cubes removing the seeds and cork. 

3. Pour apple, Granola and Cottage cheese into your bowl and mix.

Thats it! Simple huh? Told ya! 

Now go enjoy your yummy snack just like I am right now... NOM NOM NOM. 

Late Night Munchies

As many of you don't already know, I am expecting my first child in October. One thing you notice when you are pregnant is that you will have rare cravings. I have noticed if I do not satisfy my cravings, I will crave that particular craving for days!! Sometimes it can be very frustrating if you do not have that particular item or items on hand. The other night I was craving nacho's sooo bad!! So what else was I to do, but to make some nacho's with what we had on hand? After all, this was a late night snack! So now, I share with you, one of my many pregnancy cravings!

Now for the super easy Nacho recipe!

What you will need:

- Half a bag of Nacho's of choice, I used bite side because they are easier to grab apart.

- About 12 Cherry Tomatoes, cut in halves

- A quarter of a Orange Pepper, diced

- A quarter of a Yellow Pepper, diced

- About 12 Jalapeño green olives, sliced

- 2 tbsp Mild Salsa

- 1.5 cups of Old Cheddar Cheese, grated or crumbled

Put all ingredients in order straight onto a shallow baking dish, starting with Nacho's first. Lay all ingredients while spreading them out evenly. Top with cheese until covered. Bake in oven at 300 degrees Celsius or 10-15 mins or until cheese is melted. Let cool, and enjoy! :)

*Dip nacho's into sour cream for some extra yummy goodness.
