Stop giving rice cakes such a bad rap.
Quaker makes flavored rice snacks, that are really mini rice cakes, in loads of savory and sweet flavors, and they're not that bad at all, particularly for a lo-cal snack. I bought some last week, out of curiosity, and because they were on sale. They used to call them Quakes, now they're calling them Popped.

ehBeth, have you tried these? They are crunchy, light, and the flavors aren't bad. I've been munching the chedder lately.
Given all the food I consume in this cafe, I need some lower fat, lower calorie munchies to have at home.
