Texas Caviar Goodness
In an attempt to eat healthier in our home, I have been looking through my cookbooks and online for different “wholesome” recipes. We are big snackers in our home. At night we usually grab a snack and during the day, I have a hard time not eating a snack at around 3:00. It’s so easy to grab something unhealthy (if it’s leftover from an event), so I am learning that I need to make healthier snacks so that I actually eat and choose to eat them.
One snack I love is texas caviar. First of all, the thought of eating protein, fiber, and veggies all in one, makes it a snack worth snacking on. If you have any healthy snack ideas, I’d love to hear about them!
