What are cheap and healthy snack recipes, fast? There's a party in my class tomorrow, and we are obliged to put a lot of snacks for the class. Meaning, snack bites that can be distributed. However, I do not have much money for recipes, I'm not a great cook, and I want something healthy for those following a diet or health-freaks. Also, I do not want to just go buy something, I want it to be unique.
Ideas? Please help!
