There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea. ~Henry James, The Portrait of a Lady
Whenever I need a healthy snack to keep me going through that afternoon slump, I have something like this ...
dates and almonds with ginger mandarin tea. I'm a grazer so, rather than having three large meals, I like to eat many small meals and snacks throughout the day. How about you? What's your eating style?
Hope you are having a terrific Tuesday! Best wishes and blessings, Tammy

My eating style....unfortunately I like three large meals and the snacks in between. It's definitely not helping the waistline!!
Terrific Tuesday to you too!

I tend to have breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. I used to scoff down double-sized meals in my younger years and was skinny as a rake but now my metabolism has slowed down, I should be eating much smaller portions. Easier said than done...darned menopause!
Apparently, it's better for the health to eat numerous, snack-sized meals throughout the day.
Enjoy your Tuesday ~ :)
My husband likes to eat three times a day and he snacks in between. I'm so used to cooking for him that I wouldn't even know what mine would be. I think it would be whenever I was hungry. Your snacks look yummy Tammy. Diane
Right now I am enjoying summer fruits, watermelon, peaches, nectarines and plums. Very yummy.

I'm a morning eater, love lots of snacks through the day.
I love dates! Looks delicious!
Unfortunately I have to admit that I like the 3 meals & the snacks... But am trying to change that habit ;)
Your afternoon snack is so delicious (love dades!) & healthy, well done!
Wishing you a wonderful Tuesdday too!

Normally, I am an almond and anything kind of snacker... but, I do love a big meal. Thus, the necessity of imposing restictions on myself periodically (about once every 10 years. LOL) to shed some of the 'extra.' I'm shedding right now. LOL! I need to take grazing lessons from you, Tammie. blessings ~ tanna
Hey chicky,
It has been a while since I have heard from you... what's up?
Your tea and snacks sound really good. I can be a grazer, but mostly try to eat my 3 meals a day. I always get a sweet tooth in the evenings. Happy tea day!
I like your style!
Mine is that I eat a small meal around 7:00 a.m. when I get to the office, which might be a sandwich or some kind of lunch item and then I do not eat again until dinner at 6:30 p.m.
Don't even get me started. Because my sweet friend that is allllllllllll going to be changn' soon....giggle..
Hello fellow grazer...I was just reading that dates are a perfect food in many ways and wondering WHY I don't eat more of them
your tea and snack look perfectly lovely to me!
happy end of August to you and yours dear Tammy

I'm a grazer too .... I tend to graze more when I'm bored though ... Not good :)
Your snack is very healthy .... I love olives lately and a slice of cheese ... Probably too much salt!
Since I've been dieting I've been eating three meals a day and light snacks if I get hungry. Your snack looks good and healthy. Hope your week is going well.
my eating habits, do you really want to know??
:-) I eat a good breakfast, our warm meal is in the afternoon as many German families have, and then a lighter "lunch" in the evening. In between I do tend to snack, and try to be good about it by snacking on fruits and nuts, but I have a sweet tooth and find it hard to resist a bit of chocolate once in a while. And don't let me anywhere near ice cream!! ~Debby
Ever since I had my gastric bypass last December I now eat about 5-6 small meals a day and it really works great for me!
I love almonds but have never tried dates before.
Love,
LuLu~*xoxo
Hi Tammy....Well, my eating style has changed many times. I'm trying to be congnizant of portions. I love creamy things and bread. Not good. Take care. Susan from writingstraightfromtheheart.blogspot.com
What a wonderful mid-day snack my friend....hope all is well. xoxox
I am trying to eat 5 smaller meals a day but with 2 hungry guys around it is hard to cook for them and not indulge myself!
Oh boy... unfortunately, 2 main meals (lunch and dinner) and nibbling all day long at anything that passes within my reach! Lol
But I have to change that, I have to lose weight... sigh...

Tammy, I always love to see how and what you eat. I, too, like to eat small meals throughout the day. I am amazed at how your granny square afghan is coming along! Have a nice day! Twyla
Small meals is the way to go....graze away. It's supposed to be the healthy way! OK I graze and then usually eat a rather large meal too.....need to stop that! lol
Hi Tammy! I hope all is well way over there,missing your posts.Take care!
Oh my eating style is not one to be imitated...
love them sweet and salty,

Ginger mandarin tea sounds very delicious!
I love big meals but my dr ordinates me to eat more like you do. So I´m trying to change my habits overe here :)
