| Este
refrigerio ha sido enviado por Ximena, de trece años de edad
quien es conocida por sus amigos como María. |
| A
ella le fascinan las tostadas con dulce de
leche. María lo incluye hasta en su desayuno algunas
veces. María dice que puedes reemplazar el pan tostado por
galletas y el dulce de leche puedes comprarlo en tiendas hispanas
en cuàlquier comunidad Argentina. |
| Denise
nos ha enviado su piscolabis favorito |
| Ella
vive en Londres y cada vez que viaja a Argentina se divierte comiendo
milanesas con papas fritas. Esta es
su comida preferida en la semana pero los domingos disfruta los
ricos asados argentinos. |

| Hola,
Soy Astrid de Australia. |
| Tengo
15 años y uno de mis refrigerios favoritos es Vegemite.
Es originario de Australia. Nosotros lo comemos sobre el pan, las
tostadas y las galletas. |
| Jarrod
vive en una finca de ovejas y trigo en Victoria, Australia. |
El
piscolabis favorito de Jarrod es el "spider
sandwich" (emparedado araña).
Para prepararlo, esparce mantequilla sobre dos galletas, luego aplica
Vegemite en uno de los lados y agrega alfalfa. Pon la otra galleta
encima. Verás la alfalfa que sobresale como "patas de
araña" alrededor..

| El
favorito de Scott Peart es la BANANA CON MANTEQUILLA DE MANI. |
| Toma
una banana, pélala y agrega
mantequilla de maní sobre
ésta cada vez que das un nuevo mordizco! |
| Colin
9, Jacqueline 6 y Nicole 4 de Windsor, Ontario. |
| A
ellos les gusta preparar emparedados de mantequilla
de maní cortados en cículos. Luego decoran
sus emparedados con "Cheerios" ó "Shreddies"
creando divertidas caras. Algunas veces ellos usan zanahorias y
pepinos para decorarlos. ¡Estos resultan saludables y divertidos! |
| Claudia
vive en Montreal, Canadá pero anteriormente vivió
en México con sus padres franceses. |
|
Ella acostumbra
a preparar su refrigerio favorito poniendo nueces
trituradas en medio de tajadas de pera.
Ella y su mamá se sientan a la mesa a compartir los eventos
del día y a disfrutarlo.

| Thanaa
es Egipcio, y ésta merienda, Foul, es
su favorita. ¡Es divertida y fácil de hacer! |
| Thanaa
abre una lata de fríjoles, los
calienta un poco y luego los machaca. Lo mejor sería pedirle
a un adulto que caliente los fríjoles para tí. Luego,
corta tomate,
pimentón verde, cebolla y
aceitunas (verdes ó negras).
Agrega sal, pimienta y comino, un poquito de limón, vinagre
y aceite de oliva. ¡Mézclalo todo junto y disfrútalo! |

| ¡Hola!
Mi nombre es Karen. Soy maestra de francés de educación

| Christine,
tiene 10 años de edad y vive en Toronto con su madre guyanesa
y su padre franco-canadiense. |
| Ella
ama los mangos dulces. Uno de sus pasabocas
favoritos es la ensalada de frutas
frescas preparada con bananas, mangos, cerezas y nueces. |

| ¡Los
niños de Chick Alizadeh adoran este refrigerio saludable!
|
| Toma
algunas tortillas, esparce queso crema sobre ellas y agrega uvas
verdes dentro antes de enrollarlo. |
| Keep
your brain in good health! |
Spread
some cream cheese on a slightly toasted tortilla and then put a
few walnuts on top of the cheese. (Cheese, if eaten in large amounts
can affect the brain's memory cells in a negative way...the walnuts
have the right oils and amino acids to counter-balance this. This
is believed and lived by in old Iranian customs.)
This is a really neat snack, BUT, this
snack contains nuts. If you are allergic to nuts or serve
this snack to people who are allergic to nuts, you/they may become
very very ill by eating this snack!!! Be careful! |

| ¡Es
un delicioso pastel helado! Sólo tienes que licuar una
lata de leche condensada "La lechera", una lata de "Sweet
Milk", una lata de leche "Carnatio" y media taza
de jugo de limón. Cubres el fondo de una refractaria mediana
con galletas "María" y luego agregas una capa
del licuado, despues más galletas y así sucesivamente
hasta llegar al tope de la refractaria. Lo llevas al congelador
¡y ya está! Tan pronto como esté congelado
puedes empezar a disfrutar de tu helado como postre después
de la cena o como un refrigerio en los días de calor. |

Favorite Snack! |
| I
like a simple snack of a salad mix of iceburg lettuce, carrot slices
and cabbage (pre-packaged mixes can be found in most supermarkets)
I add in the crunchy light oyster crackers that we all love as my
cruton substitute. This snack is good because of the refreshing
salad mixed with the salty and crunchy bits that create a happy
balance between them! |

| Vanessa
a 15 years old likes to make these two snacks for summer:
|
1)
I take two oatmeal cookies(fresh or store bought) and
put a scoop of chocolate chip icecream in between, then I wrap them
in foil
and stick them in the freezer for 2-3 hours, and you have yourself
a home
made icecream sandwich!
2) I put lemonade, cranberry, grape, or any kind of fruit juice
in the ice
cube trays, and put tem in my drinks. I also sometimes put a small
berry in
each ice cube slot, then fill them with water and they look cute
at parties
and taste great! |

"Yall!", this is my favorite snack!: Grilled Cheese!
|
My
name is Allen and I live in the southern...Mississippi
"Yall!", thsi is my favorite snack!:
Grilled Cheese!
All you need is cheese, bread , butter, a pan, and a stove. My recipe:
Heat the pan on stove
for at least 7 minutes (Or at least until when butter is dripped
on the pan, that it sizzles. When a little bit of
butter is put on the bread, cook that side until nice and golden.
Do the same for each side of the bread.
Then, Place the cheese on a cooked side of the bread. Let it sit
on the pan for a short while or your masterpiece will burn! :( Then,
take a big bite!
This is a great meal too!
Caution: using the stove can be dangerous.
Also, some people can get very sick from cheese. Before serving
make sure you don't serve it to someone that does get sick from
it. |
| Richie
Maska's favorite snack is Dill pickle roll-ups. |
| Take
1 slice of ham (not thinly sliced), spread room temperature cream
cheese on it, and wrap it around a dill pickle. Then slice the pickle
into pieces. If you really don't like dill pickles, you can omit
them, and just roll the ham and cheese into a spiral and slice.
We also like
to fill a celery rib with cream cheese and sprinkle celery salt
on it.

We think that her snack is great! She uses 1 banana, 4 slices of
bread, some peanut butter and cinnamon. She cuts the banana from
top to bottom and then in half so that she has 4 separate pieces.
Then she spreads peanut butter on the bread, sprinkles it with cinnamon
and rolls up each piece of banana in a piece of bread. They should

snack is from Rachel who loves peanut butter balls. |

says, "My mother and I always make peanut butter balls. They're

how sticky you like them. Add honey. The amount would depend on
how sweet you want them. Then you mix and roll them into balls.
Put them in the refrigerator for about 3 hours. You don't have to
chill them but it makes them taste much better."
