Favorite Junky Comfort Foods

THose cans of those tubes of crispy rolled up sweet cracker dough filled with a vanilla paste. I dont even know what theyre called but I often slip one into the shopping cart and its too late when she has the cart up at the checkout.




WHO ME?

Its pure sacharin garbage food, I love em.

Is this what you mean? You can get huge tins of them in either Sam's or Costco, I forget which.

OOOOOOOH YEEEEH. I love the vanilla ones (not so much hazelnut-I actually get nauseated from the smell of hazelnut)

I think I really got shitfaced on Frangelico in a former life

No, the Pirouettes are delicious - farmerman must think of these - Hostess
twinkies.

I always opt for chocolate, preferably Milka, but since I can buy Ritter Sport
just about everywhere now, I will buy them - great chocolate filled with whole hazelnuts. After wards, I will feel as good as new!

I never eat junky foods, I survive mostly on Lil Debbie dessert cakes and Hostess fruit pies.

I enjoy the Pirouettes, thats what I was thinking of. Course, I do opt , every so often to eat more healthy stuff like Little Debbies.

I should add that I include food supplements such as Atenol/Benazepril/Advair and Sprivia.

potato chips and ice cream....

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

any recipe that includes canned cream soup

nothing like cream o crap to make me feel cozy

Not only is Lil' Debbie's cheap, but you can buy it in quantity, because it has a shelf-life equivalent to the half-life of uranium . . .

Well, I know my Little Debbies all have a "best if served by..." followed by a distant year.

Salt and vinegar potato chips.

There is a local brand of kettle fried potato chips that I eat some of almost daily.

cream cheese stuffed jalapenos...man, I could really use some right now but I can't afford them at the moment.

My comfy food used to be a pint of Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia ice cream but I haven't been able to eat much of it lately because of the high fat content and the low fat version tastes like cardboard.

So, now I satisfy my discomfort with a large container of a neighborhood restaurant's barbecued teriyaki combo plate. It comes with chicken, pork and beef over a huge mound of rice and a huge side of fresh braised veggies such as cabbage, carrots, onions and broccoli. I usually also get a side of their homemade pot stickers and dipping sauce. It is usually enough to make 3 meals out of but is expensive so I can't afford it very often. Not having to cook and still get good food is the rewarding comfy part of it.

I recently lost 13 pounds the safe and healthy way and want to lose another 15 the same way. The comfort foods that seem to be my biggest culprit are anything that is sweet, creamy and cold - icecream ofcourse, and any dessert that I refrigerate. I also go for carbs of most kinds like rice, etc.. I am a teacher and eat extremely early in the day because of my schedule, so I have tried to have a healthy, filling snack waiting in my car for me on the trip home, or I am really tempted to stop for a non-healthy snack or pig out when I get home.

Hostess fruit pies- Boy, does that bring back memories. When my son was little, we would go to the supermarket. I would buy a Hostess fruit pie for each of us. We weuld eat them in the car, before we started home.....................................Then, one day I read the calorie count!
