I admit I went a little overboard, but the "squirrel stash" is a favorite meal around here and I will never stop evangelizing it.
We found our first #SquirrelStash on the kids' menu of an outdoor cafe/petting zoo (yes) in #Aotearoa #NewZealand when our daughter was a toddler, and have been attempting to replicate it ever since.
Basically, you put a few pieces of whatever reasonably healthy food items you have on hand + 1 or 2 junk items on a plate and get out of the way.
@DrTCombs my kids love this, though we call it a Snack Plate. So many requests for Snack Plate. I do love "squirrel stash" though.
@DrTCombs yea we lived these as kids, called em "snack plates" tho. And the crackers were pre-spreaded - though in hindsight maybe to manage intake of peanut butter etc lol
@DrTCombs I don’t see any “junk food” 😏
@DrTCombs Delicious.
said toddler is 10 now, so the stashes have gotten bigger, but they're still just as loved as ever. It's a great way to use up whatever random bits of food you've got lying around. Bonus points for making it feel like snacking.
