Afternoon Snacks

I usually get back from work around 4:30 or 5 o'clock these days, and for whatever reason, I'm starving! With Jordan not coming home til 11 most nights, it's just too long til dinner time to not fix something quick for a snack. Sometimes I like to get a little fancy:

Apple Dumplins' for one, stuffed with cinnamon and dates and honey and oats and wrapped in a flaky cream cheese crust? Who would deny themselves a mostly passive 45 minutes of prep to have THAT as a snack? I had mine with a little plain yogurt, but whipped cream or even (shh!) vanilla ice cream would be good if you were serving it as a dessert, too.

Other days I like to keep it simple:

Rainy Fridays beg for something in a bowl. Nice cinnamon-y oatmeal is perfect :).
