Our snacks on the beach are usually healthy and simple — there’s always fruit, often a dish of raw almonds and sometimes even vegetables.
As a case in point, this bowl of sweet Sun Sugar mini tomatoes and crisp snow peas. Doesn’t it look colourful, nutritious and maybe a little virtuous?
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not all fruit and veggies around here. Sometimes nothing will do like a good burger and fries. Forget the virtue, we want something fried once in a while too, and then a visit to the local chip wagon is in order.
And after that, it’s back to the healthy snacks. Believe me, there’s no sacrifice in that; there’s nothing like fresh fruit and vegetables grown locally (until we get another hankering for burgers).
I love those pictures Mar. Yummy snacks.
Thank you for taking the picture of me with my drippy, tasty burger!
I love snacking on snow peas and grape tomatoes. Delicious.
Me too (obviously!).
I try to eat “healthy” most of the time. It makes the burger and fries that much tastier!
Yes, there’s nothing like treating yourself! There’s absolutely nothing wrong with eating burgers and fries, as long as you keep your diet in balance – it’s the ‘too much of a good thing’ philosopy.
If you have a burger and fries every day, they will lost their appeal. Besides, it’s not like there is anything wrong with your healthy alternatives, Mar, and I’d sure enjoy them. Still. a juicy hamburger does hit the spot, especially when it’s a rarity. Who am I telling? I can see it in your eyes — burger love. 🙂
I forgot to mention the fried onions that were on that burger — oh, swoon. Sure makes for a wonderful treat! The local chip wagon closes on Labour Day, so we might have to go back for a last taste of the season …
Hungry now. So hungry.
Go for it! I’m sure there’s a good chip & burger wagon near you …. Note, I’m assuming it’s not the tomatoes and peas that are making you swoon, but if I’m wrong, head to the local produce stand, fast!
A mix of snacks is a good combination! I really like your new theme for your blog too… 🙂
Thanks, Meg. I’m glad you like the new theme. I really like how it showcases my posts, I only wish it had a side bar.
