Veggies and dip. Veggies are great plain, but dip always makes them more acceptable
Popcorn. Can be varies with the addition of raisins, herbs or grated cheese.
Crackers with any of the following: cheese, jelly, cream cheese. Plain crackers are fine, too, and don’t overlook animal crackers and graham crackers.
Home baked breads and muffins, and even low-sugar cookies. Please avoid baked goods with frostings, chocolate, and a high sugar content. Traditional cupcakes are fine for a celebration or birthday.
Applesauce and other low sugar processed fruits.

Soup in cold weather is a treat.
