I am looking for ideas for quick easy to prepare snacks for the 15 min. breaks at work. I never use the vending machine snacks, and like to bring my own from home. But I need some fresh ideas!

Some of mine include: Cherry tomatoes
Cheese wedges w/ crackers
Fruit


Feel free to share your favorites with me .
Thank you, Cathy

Is there a fridge and microwave in your break room?

They pretty much determine what is and is not feasible.

Yes Both Fortunately.

Hi Chatty,
I grabbed my "family" cookbook to find a special recipe or 2 for you.
(My grandma passed away in 1999 and I got my love of cooking/baking from her and my mom and aunts. Last year for Christmas, my aunt Karen made us all cookbooks from recipes submitted from all my Gram's 12 children and some of us grandkids. The book is very special to me...but anyway...)
This takes a little prep but seems easy enough and would be a quick, filling snack at work.

Dressing:
2/3 C oil
1/2 C sugar
1/4 C vinegar

Salad:
1 head cabbage (book says Napa but I don't know what that is...:o)
2 bunches green onions, chopped
1 C sliced almonds
1 C sunflower seeds
2 pkgs. chicken Ramen noodles (broken up, with seasoning)

Mix dressing ingredients and let sit overnight, do NOT refrigerate. The next day.....crush Ramen noodles in bag. Place on baking sheet with almonds. Sprinkle seasoning mix over it and bake for 5-10 mins. at 350. Mix salad ingredients. Add dressing and toss. Let stand a few hours (while you're waiting for break-time...LOL).

Hope you like it. I haven't tried it. If I find any more I'll post again.

Thanks ChattyRoo!!
This recipe sounds wonderful! I have 1 time before in my life had a similar salad that was delicious, and made with the ramen noodles, etc. now I have an opportunity to make it myself. And I like that it's a dish that's packed with nutrients, a real Power Snack!
Thank you, CCCathy
P.S. I like the "ChattyRoo"
also..Napa must mean some type Cabbage [for instance Napa Cabbage, grown in Napa Valley, CA]??? Just an educated guess on my part!
