What Are Your Favorite Snack Foods?

[Mirror Image]

Okay, I'll admit, I'm snack food addict. Don't worry I'm getting help for it. But, in the meantime, please tell us your favorite snack foods. Inquiring minds want to know.

A long-standing favorite of mine: Mama Geraldine's cheese straws -

Popcorn cooked with peanut oil for yumminess.

For getting me re-energized hardboiled eggs.

BBQ flavored potato chips

BBQ flavored potato chips 

Given your location I thought you would say lutefisk!

probably grapes

Haven't heard of Mama Geraldine's products before but they sound nice.

I try to not buy a lot of junk food.  There's a type of popcorn that I like though that has nutritional yeast and other things in it that I like....trying to think of the brand.  Tasty, but rather messy to eat.

Lately, various potato chips when I cook a hamburger...ah, summertime!    Also, sometimes make nachos with leftover roast chicken (or poached, etc.) with a decent amount of cheese, avocados, salsa, either sour cream or Greek yogurt...often with jalapeños and scallions...sometimes either without chicken and with refried black beans instead or in addition to.  Trying to keep it somewhat healthy.

I've loved these the most since I was little:

Almonds

My upper left wisdom tooth (RIP 2013) would disagree with your choice.

I can never resist taking a square or two of dark chocolate whenever I'm in the vicinity of the kitchen: Villars, Valrhona, Perugina, TCHO are all on my list. Cashews are not bad... In my defense, I'm not fat or even pre-diabetic.

Almonds

+1

I've really cleaned up the diet over the years and almonds, which I eat almost every day, are by far the preferred snack food.
I like potato chips /crisps but seldom partake, mainly in the summer after exercise when I'm a little dehydrated and need salt. I loved potato chips back in the days when I ran marathons; apparently they're big with ultramarathoners, who often eat them during races!
The chips I mostly go for now are the "blue corn tortilla" variety, usually salt-free.

I would take cashews over almonds any day, personally.

[vandermolen]

Cheese....yuuuuummmmm!

Yes, indeed - I have one of those Dutch cheese slice things which allows me to cut a thin slice of cheese. The problem is that I can work myself through the whole cheese that way! 

[Mandryka]

A mixture of walnuts and dried apricots.

Do you have it with crackers or fruit Jeffrey?

Love almonds too.  I sporadically eat them (try to be good and eat the plain, raw and unsalted type--don't taste nearly as good as the opposite, but when I'm trying to be ultra healthy...).

And I would take pistachios over cashews and almonds.

It's not a snack... but anyone try this one?



It's been nearly two years since I first started seeing this, and has become my favorite frozen meal of all time. I'm still buying one every single week.

It combines all the best stuff together, and it goes well together. Creamy cheese, spice, meat, and seasonings.

Considering hot wings are my favorite food, and mac and cheese is probably in the top 5, the result is a winner.

Postachios are wonderful!  I had some roasted and salted one last night. 

I'd like to try making jalapeño poppers sometime; only had them once, but yum!  I'm growing one jalapeño plant, probably won't be enough for this....or perhaps a tiny batch?

Mac 'n cheese is a guilty favorite.  Don't have it often, but do enjoy it.  Found a recipe recently for a slightly healthier version which I intend to try this week (though I'll be using whole milk).  It calls for 2% milk and a 2-1 ratio of cauliflower to pasta to make it a bit healthier.  I'll provide a link to it...once I find it again! 

Your pre-made dish sounds yummy though I wonder what the salt, sugar and fat levels are like and how much 'strange' (meaning not natural) ingredients they put into it?  I do enjoy Buffalo wings though rarely eat them by the way.
