Favorite Snacks Fridays

Gorgonzola with Fuji Apples

Often, I'd rather have a snack than a meal.  Err, multiple snacks instead of a meal.  I have lots of favorite combos...

Favorite Snacks Fridays is born!  (Well...not every Friday, maybe once or twice a month.) 

Gorgonzola Blue Cheese and Sliced Fuji Apples never disappoint.  (However, the apples must be Fuji- sweet yet tangy, always crispy, never mealy).  And, aside from your choice of apples, there's a lot of wiggle room...

Sliced pears and smoked Gouda?  Amaze.  Sliced Fujis and Pecorino?  To die.  Looking to spice things up?  Add a little Dijon to your apple or pear instead of the cheese.  Tasty.

Clearly the combinations are endless.  

Jim and I browse through the mammoth cheese display at our local organic market as if we're at the library selecting books.  Fun stuff.

I'd love to hear about some of your favorite snacks.  What might they be?

I've never tried apples with cheese other than with Brie...I'll have to try your other suggestions...I do LOVE apple's with brie, sometimes I just melt it for 15 seconds in the microwave to drizzle over the sliced apples...YUM

Steel cut oats, sprinkled with the lightest of brown sugars, topped with 5 or 6 blackberries in a pool of organic fat free white milk. Great afternoon snack on a cold winter day!

Mmm-mmm, definitely cant go wrong w/ brie Meredith! I bet you would love Humboldt Fog (if you havent already tried). It's a delicious goat's milk cheese with a brie-like creamy outer edge and a tangy center. Thanks for visiting StyleNectar and stop back soon:-)

You definitely named my favorite snack - blue cheese and apples all the way. Though I'm a Granny Smith girl myself

Granny Smith's are my second fav! They're both crisp and consistently good (when organic). Thanks for stopping by and I hope you visit often:-) xoxo ~Juliane
