Today is Foodie Friday, and I nearly let time get away from me! Since I’ve been in a rush this week, I thought I’d share one of my favorite, quick, low-carb meals: snack supper!

The kids love it, too, and they can even help prepare dinner (depending on their knife skills, you might want to let the little ones rinse off the veggies or arrange the platters and leave the slicing & dicing to the big people). Just cut up any combination of the following into snack-size bites and arrange on a platter with some ranch &/or spinach-artichoke dip. We have a couple of football-shaped trays with three sections each, and the boys enjoy using those. They have the liberty to pick & choose what snacky things they want, but they have to have a minimum of one veggie choice. We got really fancy one night and made melted cheese fondue for dipping. Yum!! Give everyone a couple of toothpicks and let them have at it!

• summer sausage (read the label, but there are some very low-carb ones!)
• block cheese (our faves are monterrey jack, pepper jack, swiss & cheddar)
• cauliflower
• broccolli
• celery
• baby carrots (for the boys … too many carbs for me)
• cherry or grape tomatoes (not a big fan, myself, but some of the boys love them)
• green olives
• crackers (again, for the boys)
• zucchini squash (from our garden! Woot!)

Did I leave out anything? What else would you include for a snack supper?
