Super Simple Snacking

Crackers are awesome because you can can use them like mini sandwiches! Sure...add cheese, but think bigger, cheese and cucumber or ricotta with fruits & honey or make a cracker caprese with mozarrella, basil and tomato!! 

The goal is fueling your body with goodness and flavor! For this to be incredible and stand out from mindless chips and salsa, you need to have good ingredients...as with anything in cooking!

This a great way to snack during movies, visiting with friends or sitting on the balcony and watching the sunset--let everyone make a personal combo--or, make these bites ahead and take all the work out of it for them!
