Always looking for fast, easy, good tasting snacks.

Nathans battered onion rings fit the bill.
I put them in the toaster oven set at 425 for 12 minutes.
They come out crispy on the outside and I dip them in Chick-fil-A sauce...very tasty.

^^^ says right on the bag..."zero grams trans fat"
Whatever that means?

And they are not like McD's onion rings which are finely chopped onions in the battter.
These are actual/real onion rings!

I’ve never even seen or heard of those onion rings! I’m going to have to find them!

I buy them at Meijer...I'm guessing that Walmart has them also.
Sold in the frozen veggie section...near the frozen garlic bread.

Depending on how many servings....a handful or 6-8 rings are plenty for one person.
They need to be not overlapping while heating them up.

The Chick sauce really is a must.

Good onion rings are awesome. I haven't had any good ones in years (10, 15, 20 maybe). The fast food places used to have real onion rings, but it's definitely been decades since I had any at a fast food chain.

^^^ I'm not a 'french fry fan' at all. If I can sub onion rings for the fries...I do it every time.
But they really do need a dipping sauce...and a honey mustard works great.

I snack on this fruit I make up.

[stevej37]

^^^ That looks tasty.
When I go to the store for a fruit bowl here....they always have them loaded up with watermelon and cantaloupe chunks . Then a few grapes and small pieces of strawberries. A bowl the size of yours will be at least $15 and it's life is not long here.

Yep, when visiting my mom, she used to make "fruit salad" and it looked the same. It was usually a variety of fruit, and then she'd pour fruit juice over it. I would think that the fruit juice would act as a bit of a preservative. I also like to sprinkle pecans over the top, and also like to add some banana that soaks in it for a day, but I also just slice banana over the top.

Interesting. I've never eaten rings with a sauce.

I do like fries, and my current favorite dip for fries is chipotle mayo.

[stevej37]

^^^ Chipotle Mayo sounds good on them....I might try that.

If fries are the only choice...I ask for just mayo. I think ketchup just makes them worse.

chipotle mayo is good on just about anything. I don't like plain mayo, but chipotle mayo is awesome. I like the "Sir Kensington" brand.

my next condiment of choice is mustard, and there's a nice variety. Sometimes I like a plain yellow style, but sometimes I like the dark or stone ground or whatever.

Regular ketchup is not my thing, but I've had a good ketchup recently, I don't remember if it's Rao's brand or maybe the Sir Kensington. I think it may have been Rao brand.

Today's ring snack....

Chick fil a sauce is great! I find adding a little horseradish really wakes it up.

Yeah...I go through a lot of it.
I'll try adding hr to it...sounds good.

A favorite snack for me is Boursin on saltine crackers in the afternoons.
