Quick, inexpensive healthy snacks?

[Tasty]

I have a 3.5 month old and I'm after some quick, inexpensive snacks or even meals I can make during the day in the little time I have when she is sleeping?

Any suggestions?

Also, how do I post photos from my camera. I have photobucket. Can I do it through that? I know there is a thread somewhere on this but can anyone just tell me quickly?

With photobucket go to the picture you want, go to the bottom links things that drop down and copy the last one.(you just need to click on it). Then return to the forum and paste the photo where you want it. It will come up with the link but then if you click on preview the photo will show in the preview. Then you can post the message.

Have you spoken to your doctor about starting your baby on solids?

i am thinking 3.5 months is to young . Please someone correct me if i am wrong

[Tasty]

Cookie - thank you. Will try and post one after. Springcleaning atm.

Fundj - Sorry - I probably didn't make myself clear. The snacks are for me, not my baby. I just find that I'm always hungry between meals.

Soup is very quick to make in the tmx and can be as cheap as you like. A little bit of oil or butter really lifts the flavour so don't be tempted to leave it out.

Scones are unreasonably easy and quick to make - a cheese scone with some soup?

I'll come back with more ideas later, with emphasis on quick as I remember having a 3.5 month old and trying to fit in everything I had to when he was asleep.

Hi
I have a 20 month old and remember so well when he was that age and only having to time to grab something out the fridge to eat, it's so hard, but it does get easier

I like to make this zucchini slice recipe.  It makes loads and I just keep it in the fridge and grab slices when I'm hungry and don't have time to prepare anything else.  It keeps for about 3-4 days - or you could freeze some - and is so tasty.  Only thing is I only got my TMX yesterday so I haven't figured out how to convert it yet!  Maybe someone could help?  I'll post the recipe anyway it's very simple and I'm sure it would be a breeze in the Thermomix:

ZUCCHINI SLICE
375g zucchini (can substitute some zucchini for carrot)
1 big onion, finely chopped
3 rashers bacon or slices of ham, finely chopped
1 cup grated tasty cheese (or half tasty, half parmesan)
1 cup SR flour, sifted
1/4 cup olive/vegetable oil
4-5 eggs, lightly beaten

Combine in a large bowl the zucchini (& carrot), onion, bacon, cheese, oil and eggs.
Stir through the sifted flour
Season well with salt and pepper
Pour into a greased tin/dish and bake in a moderate oven (180) for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Here it is converted for you

Ah, thanks Cream Puff, I'm going to make that today!  I will search the forum before posting anything like that again!

Another idea for Tasty is maybe to make up some dips and bread/veggie sticks for easy snacks to grab during the day, can't recommend any at the moment though until I've tried a few.

Ooh that looks very nice.  Unfortunately, the need for quick, easy but healthy snacks doesn't diminish as children get older, I have some courgette so shall be making this tomorrow

These are notes I made from Andiesenji for posting from PhotoBucket.  I haven't tried it yet, but she is pretty good with her instructions and is tech savvy:

Posting photos from  PhotoBucket is very simple.

Click on "Reply"
Just above the line of smileys  there are some symbols.   The second one from the left is the "Insert Image"  symbol.

In a new browser window open PhotoBucket and click on the image you want to post.  To the right you will see a window headed "Links"
click on the URL in "Direct link" 
Then return to this forum.

After you have typed your description, hit the return for a new line, click on "Insert Image"  and paste the URL - that will place it where the cursor is located between the two  [img]http://[img] symbols.

Don't type anything else until you mouse click beyond the  last img symbol.
Then you can hit return,  click on Insert Image again and  go back to PhotoBucket, copy the Direct link for another photo and paste it between the two "image" symbols.

Click on Preview to see if your photos show up in your post.

Hope that helps.

Nicola - Although soup can be quick, I prefer it for winter and generally avoid it in summer. Might try the scones out.

MrsL - my neighbour offered me a zucchini from her veggie patch and I rejected it the other day as I didn't think I would be using it. Bugger! Thanks CP too for posting TMX version!

Cullidh - I managed to do it in another thread!
