What do you eat at the barn?
I've been spending more time at the barn lately (YAY!), which is great for the billion calorie burn of just walking around the property, but I'd like some fresh ideas for barn snacks.

Just saying hello
I've been on MFP since July, but I've only just recently dipped my toe in the waters of the forum. I'm an actor, puppeteer, comedian, writer, runner, gardener, knitter, equestrian and homeschool mom. This is not my first rodeo. I've been up and down the weight/fitness scale from 175 (very thin and fit for me, I am tall and…
