A snack is a portion of food often smaller than a regular meal, generally eaten between meals. Snacks come in a variety of forms including packaged and processed foods and items made from fresh ingredients at home. Snack foods are typically designed to be portable, quick, and satisfying.Snack foods are often subjectively classified as junk food because they typically have little nutritional value. I have shared some of these recipes with my own touch from my kitchen.
