MY FAVORITE THINGS… WITH BECCA

GETTING TO KNOW ME - AND MY FRIDGE.

Contributed by Guest Editor, Becca Kufrin

As I’ve expressed in my previous blog posts, I’m a foodie, especially when it comes to snacks. I’m not great at much, but I am pretty darn good at picking out and packing the right snacks for any sort of occasion. I’m the go-to girl for a good charcuterie board at any party or picnic, and if there was an Olympics competition for snack preparation and eating, then I’d take the gold medal. I constantly am stocking my fridge and cupboards full of them, and always enjoy a trip to Trader Joe’s to find the latest and greatest. Sometimes I tend to go overboard, but hey, life is short - so treat yoself!

Currently my cupboard is burting with the following:

  1. 5 different flavors of Skinny Dipped Almonds

  2. Everything-flavored cashews

  3. Pumpkin Spice cookies

  4. Red vines

  5. Fig bars

  6. Peanuts

  7. Reese’s

  8. HU chocolate bars

  9. Peanut Butter Puffs

  10. 3 different kinds of peanut butter

  11. Haribo gummy bears

  12. Bark Thins

  13. Perfect Snack bars

  14. Pita bread + hummus

  15. Bitchin sauce

  16. Trader Hint of Lime Chips + salsa

  17. Crackers

  18. 3 flavors of Hippeas

  19. Trader Joe’s gluten free pretzels (so extra crunchy!)

  20. Popcorn 

  21. Biscoff cookies

  22. Cheetos (chilled in the freezer)

  23. Cheese - I am a firm believer that a fridge should be stalked with at least 3 different types for any given situation 

I’m also probably missing some items here, but you get the jist. I like snacks.


Here’s one of my favorite and quick, go-to snacks (more like an appetizer) that I like to bring to parties. Meditteranean Hummus Plate:

In my purse: 

I like to come prepared so I have mints, chapstick, hand sanitizer, an extra face mask, wallet, dog treats, collapsable dog bowl, matches, deck of cards, and wine bottle opener 

A perfect Saturday:

A morning walk with Minno, stroll through the local farmer’s market for veggies and snacks, lounging by the pool for an hour or two, and dinner + drinks at a great local spot. Or since it’s fall - visiting a pumpkin patch or apple orchard
