When my husband traveled for work (pre-covid) I would always treat myself to some manner of cheesy, carby 2500-calorie bomb from Cheesecake Factory, Olive Garden, or some other awful chain he refuses to patronize. |
My teenage self sees you. I used to hide in the pantry and do this. |
| we've already covered cake mix, right? both dry and mixed with water? plus pudding mix, nestle's powder, malted milk powder. . . . . |
I love my powder people. Last night I made my son some ovaltine and took a spoon of the powder for myself |
| Totinos cheese pizza, a bit overdone, dipped in ranch. |
My husband makes fun of me for this. I mentioned it to my friend who is a professional chef and she exclaimed "Frico!" She makes it at her restaurant all the time. It's fancy and I never knew it. |
| A spoonful of peanut butter followed by a spoonful of Nutella |
My 9 year old son makes this for us! But he puts a big marshmallow in a little bowl with a Hershey bar and nukes it, then adds crumbled graham crackers. Eat it with a spoon. |
| Croutons |
|
Slices of American cheese (the ones individually packaged in plastic, please) eaten in bed.
EZ cheese from a can with triscuits or wheat thins. Sugar cereal (Frosted Flakes, lucky charms, Froot Loops) with whole milk or even half and half. Iced animal crackers. Frosting, with a spoon. Nestle choc chips in a bowl, melted, with graham crackers for dipping "Chicken" flavored Ramen (the shitty block ones that sell in packs of 10). And, finally, cheese dip made with hormel chili from a can and a block of velvetta with tortilla chips. |
What is a butterscotch crimpet? I am intrigued. |
I would consider this a very nice breakfast (or lunch or dinner) and pat myself in the back as a good mom. It probably only has like 500 calories (300 croissant; 80 egg; 100 cheese; 40 slice bacon). That’s not a weird amount for a breakfast for an active kid. So yummy also. |
| PPs melting chocolate chips—if you add a smidge or butter, it’s way easier to dip stuff into it. I don’t consider that at all a disgusting snack—it’s basically ganache so that’s fancy!!! |
Have you tried the creamy chicken ramen? It’s the best |
| Sour cream and onion chips. |
