Hello again!

This post will serve as a welcome back! It's been a long time since I've posted on this blog and for good reason. Since my last few posts, I've moved into the BigData space and left the storage industry to get a start on BigData. I've since enjoyed my time at my current employer learning something new every day. As such, there was a recent interviewee that help inspired me to rekindle the interest of sharing information and what I've learned with the interwebs. This post is the beginning and start of just that. While I'm not going to make the promise of updating daily, I will make the promise of sharing all things tech that I use daily and will post here to help serve as a resource to stumble upon-- Essentially sharing my virtual shoebox of post-it notes with the hopes that you will also make use of the tidbits of shared info too. As much as I love my notes kept on Evernote, what's the use of hoarding all that information if I'm not able to share it? Enjoy! ~ Ant

19 Simple, Do-It-Yourself Snacks

This looks awesome!!:

Making your own snacks to have at home or take with you is usually far more nutritious -- and economical -- than relying on packaged foods.

Here are some snack suggestions:

- Guacamole (look for the 100-calorie packs in the refrigerator section) or small can of bean dip and baked snack chips or toasted whole wheat pita bread, broken into chips

- Low-fat microwave popcorn tossed with Parmesan cheese

- Trail mix ingredients: 1/4 cup each: whole-grain cereal, raisins or dried cranberries, and 2 tablespoons each: sunflower seeds or chopped nuts

- Low-fat ice cream topped with fresh fruit

- Snack size (8 ounce) box of low-fat plain or chocolate milk and whole wheat pretzels

- Whole-grain crackers, string cheese, and mango slices

- Cooked or raw vegetables with low-fat ranch dressing, and a hard-boiled egg

- Instant oatmeal made with milk in the microwave with 1 teaspoon cocoa powder stirred in and topped with sliced raspberries or strawberries

- Whole-wheat pretzels with peanut butter, almond butter, or sunflower seed butter

- Cherry chocolate smoothie: Combine 1 cup low-fat milk, 1/2 cup vanilla low-fat yogurt, 1/2 cup frozen or fresh pitted cherries, and 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips in a blender or food processor and mix until smooth.

- Bowl of whole-grain cereal and low-fat milk

- Edamame

- Small container of Greek yogurt

- Mini bagel spread with low-fat cream cheese and strawberry jam, and low-fat milk

- Hummus and whole wheat pita chips

- Half a sandwich and glass of orange juice fortified with calcium and vitamin D
