Popcorn
We generally keep a huge container of popcorn ready to eat. We buy non-microwave popcorn (it's cheaper and keeps much longer than the microwave style, and it's healthier) and pop several batches at once. We season it with season salt, Parmesan cheese, taco seasoning, cheese packets from macaroni boxes, or sometimes a little chili powder. Popcorn is actually a healthy snack when you don't smother it with butter and salt.
Corn Chips
We make our own corn chips too. When they're on sale, I buy large bags (100 count) of the corn tortillas. We cut them into wedges and bake them in the oven at 350 deg for 17 min. We sometimes spray them with lemon juice before cooking them. Then we sprinkle season salt on them as soon as they come out of the oven. They're not your usual corn chips, but after you've had a couple and get accustomed to the taste, they're really good. It usually takes several baking sheets full before I can catch up with the snacking and get to actually store some.
Blackberries
Blackberries will be in season soon. They're great and grow wild all over this area. It'll take some time and you will get stuck in some thorns, but they're really good and free. I pick and pick and never even touch the amount that are available. You can freeze them and keep them for a long time.
