Delish and Healthy Refrigerator Snacks

“What movie is playing in the refrigerator?” whispered Annie as she put her arms around LJ.

He leaned over his shoulder and kissed her, “not one I am interested in watching. I am hungry, but there does not seem to be anything in here that is enticing. The leftover lo-mien from two nights ago isn’t appealing, and I am tired of tuna.”

“Okay, I get the message and the challenge. Sounds like we need to produce some new satisfying snacks for you that tastes good too.”

“Exactly, but I do not want to add another hour on our meal-prep Sunday afternoon making snacks for the coming week, so how about we create mini-meals we can grab and eat or takes minutes to assemble, said LJ.

“Got it,” Ann handed him celery and bell pepper. “Do you mind cutting these up? We are going to whip up a Five Minute Chopped Chickpea Salad. While we are eating, we can talk about other recipes ideas.”

LJ set the cutting board on the counter and began rinsing the veggies.

Annie stopped him, “sweetheart, the veggies and fruit are washed before going into the fridge. It’s another way to save time and makes meal prep easy.”

“Right,” he muttered and began slicing the celery.
