    Wow what a great snack list you make it look so easy thank you! I like to mix nuts with raisins. My husband adds mini chocolate chips or M&M's to his mix. We make the baggies up on the weekend and they are per-measured and ready to go. Also, pretzel sticks...51 sticks are a lot and that is one serving.

    Easier to prepare than a bowl of cereal? That's pretty tough... but you can make your own "Egg McMuffin" by

    1) Toast an English muffin
    2) While it is toasting, crack an egg into a small bowl, heating it around a minute in the microwave
    3) After a minute, sprinkle some shredded cheese on the egg and let it melt or cook it 20 or 30 more seconds
    3a) (I add Lox)
    4) Smash everything together and eat.
