Guilt-Free Non-Suppers.

Posted on August 16, 2010 by admin

My son has this habit of eating snacks an hour or so before we have our dinner. And sometimes he would be full, he couldn’t eat dinner. I came across these non-suppers. I better stock on these foods. At least if he eats snacks before dinner, it wouldn’t be that bad even if he skips dinner.
