DP. Olive oil. The edges get lacy and crispy. So good!

This is delicious. I sometimes add hot sauce, Texas Pete is best.

Imagine how good it would be with real cheese, and not that green can stuff?

You realize it is real cheese, right?

It's technically real cheese, but it's not real parmesan cheese. It's mixed with fillers and anti-caking agents, and the base cheese is only allowed to be called "parmesan" because there are no laws that govern the term in the US, unlike Italy where actual parmesan is made. Kraft actually isn't allowed to sell its green can cheese as "parmesan" anywhere in Europe.

It’s not real Parmigiano-Reggiano. Which means it did not originate from Parma, Italy.

Just like most American Champagne does not come from champagne France. Just like it’s illegal to sell California “champagne” in Europe they must call it sparkling wine.

We know Kraft Parmesan is not Parmigiano-Reggiano, we know it has anti caking agents in to that why it’s on this thread.

My sister-in-law fries eggs in the grease left over for making the bacon.

Yes, that is even better. We call them dirty eggs.

Well, I think it is pretty creative what I eat and some world renowned chef could have it on his menu.

Use the toaster oven to heat up frozen cauliflower crust pizza from COSTCO, top it with bits of homemade tandoori chicken and then drizzle with store bought mint-coriander chutney that has been whisked with mayo and some finely chopped raw garlic. Beyond delicious.

Boxed mac and cheese. The. Whole. Box.

Definitely my secret single behavior. Of course I haven't been alone in my house for more than a few hours over the last 18 months so haven't had time to indulge. I do eat some bites when I make it for my kids.

oh please everyone eats the whole box it is not a secret

Now now, this is a confessions thread. Let’s keep the urge to correct and criticize to ourselves.

I know I'm courting salmonella

You don't have to court salmonella and can still enjoy!

Pie crust is usually just flour, fat (butter, shortening, lard, etc), salt, and water. Maybe a little acidity from lemon or vinegar. There can be an egg wash for color after it is shaped, but eggs are not typical.

If you buy premade crust with egg, consider making your own. Freezes well, too.

I always make my own. I'm not an animal.

It's the flour.

Yes, I could heat the flour first but I'm lazy.

Oh! That salmonella is usually from the fields where the wheat is grown. You could just microwave it once, and then it should be good. https://habukicookie.com/how-to-heat-treat-flour-for-raw-cookie-dough/

Or just wing it.

Tortilla chips dipped in sour cream

Boxed Mac and cheese (for the PP)—I could easily wear the whole box but won’t if there’s anyone else at my house; my skinny husband would probably judge me silently

Nutella or peanut butter straight out of jar

Are you 4'1", 75 pounds or something?

"The whole box" has 360 calories, and that's even including the butter in the recommended preparation. You could literally eat the whole box for three meals a day and still be well under the necessary calories for the average woman.

Ha! Quite the opposite. But now that I know boxed Mac and cheese will fit into my diet I will feel less guilt about it (but I’m still not sharing).

Hot white rice with butter.
Ditto on the powdered parmesan on buttered noodles.
Nacho cheese sauce on tortilla chips with tamed jalapenos.
Vanilla ice cream with Hershey’s chocolate sauce and chopped nuts.

Judging you animals who eat frosting out of the can. Obviously, civilized people spread canned frosting on graham crackers.

Whatever cheese I have in the fridge nuked on top of whatever chips are in the pantry. Add salsa or hot sauce or jalapenos. Simple yet satisfying.

My dad taught me that trick! It’s dads dessert when mom is out.

Cinnamon Chex cereal crushed up in the bottom of a bowl, nuke 30 seconds in microwave. Add a scoop of vanilla and drizzle with chocolate, et voila. You will be transported to Chi-Chi's circa 1998 for fried ice cream.

Hmm, does that require an extra utensil or do you use the back of your spoon?
