If you have three minutes, you have enough time to make these three flavorful and absolutely delicious snacks!
Today I am teaming up with The Laughing Cow® to share a few simple snack ideas and fun food pairings. As I mentioned in my previous post all about savoring snack time, The Laughing Cow is working on a new initiative to encourage people to sit down and enjoy their snacks rather than rushing through snack time every day.
I figured that coming up with three super-simple snacks that take only three minutes to assemble would help give me more time to sit down and enjoy the snack I prepared rather than inhaling it and rushing off to complete the next thing on my to-do list.
Three Three-Minute Snacks
- Honey Pear Crunch Bites
I actually came up with this combination a couple of weeks ago as I was making dinner. Ryan had just opened a bottle of wine and we wanted a simple snack to savor together while we waited for our main meal. This sweet and salty snack was creamy, crunchy and tasted great with a glass of white wine. I just topped a few pear slices with a thick spread of The Laughing Cow Original Swiss Cheese Wedge before adding a sprinkling of walnuts and drizzle of honey.
- Pizza Crackers
To make this snack, simply spread a generous amount of The Laughing Cow Creamy Mozzarella, Sun-Dried Tomato & Basil Cheese Wedges onto a cracker of your choice. Top with turkey pepperoni and a black olive. It’s the perfect snack for days when you’re craving pizza or a salty snack!
- Apple Cinnamon Tortilla
It doesn’t get much easier than this! I love this snack on its own but also think it makes a great breakfast if you throw in a handful of nuts. Top a whole wheat tortilla with two of The Laughing Cow Original Swiss Cheese Wedges, apple slices and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Love it!

And now, in keeping with the theme of three, I’m excited to be giving away three things that help me relax, slow down and unwind… And better savor meals and snack time!
One PBF reader will win the following three items:

I have a really hard time relaxing and slowing down, especially with two very active boys. The best thing for me is having a glass of wine and a quiet lavender epsom salt bath.

I love to relax & unwind after a long day in the bath with candles. It’s the perfect escape from a busy or stressful day.
Lying down with my youngest son until he falls asleep. The room is dark, lullabies are playing and he is quietly telling me about his day. I usually fall asleep too!
Cooking really relaxes me 🙂 better yet if someone else cleans up !
I love a hot cup of tea and a warm blanket
Spending quality time with my dog Sam, whether we’re playing, walking or I’m just brushing him always brings me back to the present moment and makes me instantly happy!
I’m a college student so stress is pretty much a daily occurrence lol. I don’t think I could survive if I didn’t have my relaxation time where is get in sweatpants and read a good book with some sort of scented candle lit 🙂
I’ve been trying to fight off the winter blues by lightning a scented candle and enjoying hot tea or a glass of wine at night-and it definitely helps!

Comfy pjs, essential oils, good book. A cute snuggly kid and dog as well!
Taking a long walk (outside or on the treadmill) while listening to my favorite songs or a great podcast- (like Serial- I’m obsessed) always helps me unwind! Or drinking a glass of wine and talking to my boyfriend or a friend on the phone also helps!
I love to unwind with some yoga pants and baggy sweatshirt under a heavy blanket on the couch with a glass of cold white wine and my favorite tv show… Also a nice hot bath never fails…
I love cuddling with my puppy on the couch!
Taking a nice hot shower and putting on a comfy robe and drinking a nice hot cup of hazelnut coffee.

Love these snack ideas! I like to unwind with a cup of tea. Even at work, it helps to take a little mental break in the afternoon and then power through the rest of the day. And in the evening nothing is more relaxing than lavender tea.

Sitting down with a cup of tea!
It’s been so chilly here in NYC I would love to win the Anthropologie Nightfall Throw 🙂

I love sitting by the fire with mug of coffee. 🙂
One thing that always helps me relax is hot green tea with honey!!

Definitely reading a good book and drinking some good tea! 🙂
The coffeehouse station on Sirius! It is very mellow!
