What's your Comfort Food Snack?

[Toots]

I like cheese and crackers. Right now I like those little wafer thin multi grain crackers from Trader Joe's with Cotswolds English cheese or white cheddar. I can munch on cheese and crackers any time.
I just had some with a cup of tea.

I love popcorn too but I rarely make that at home anymore because my hound dog goes nuts when she hears the popcorn popping (and by "going nuts" I mean she drools like crazy and she watches me like a hawk, she LUVS popcorn - I feel guilty eating it in front of her!)

warm (or cold) rice with chile paste and fish sauce. You could add basil too I guess.

Ricotta w/ something sweet. Used to be peaches when I was a kid, now I go for like strawberry jam or something.

My wife likes cream cheese and jelly, usually strawberry or grape.

When I snack on something, I grab whatever is convenient in the refrigerator. When I am needing to stuff emotions and get into filling my needs, then I tend to go heavy into carbs. I will even make corn fritters or potato pancakes. One of my favorites is to heat up a can of Campbell's tomato soup, and make bisquick feather dumplings to steam on top in the pan. Serve in a big bowl, split the dumplings and put butter, salt and pepper on them. A Carb Delight in a jiffy!

My favorite non emotional, non immediate snacks are cheese and crackers and some cut-up fruit, or grapes and berries. I love creamy cheeses on sliced baguettes that have been brushed with olive oil and oven toasted.. yum!

chips and/or ice cream. I blame the ice cream dependency on my mom, she used to take me out after getting dumped or losing a baseball game for ice cream. One other thing is biscuits with butter, also thanks to my mom. My husband just picked some up for me yesterday because I am sick at home with bronchitis.

SassyApples, welcome! You are the second person I've ever met in my life (or online) that likes dumplings in tomato soup. It sounds comforting. Thanks for reminding me. ~Bliss

I don't snack often, but when I really need some comfort, my favorite is a grilled cheese sandwich with crispy bacon and thin-sliced avocado. It's like fat layered between buttered toast, but oh so good!

If I have a bad cold, I like to eat almost scalding hot chicken noodle soup, along with a piece of whole wheat bread smothered with extra crunchy peanut butter, and then fold the bead in half and dip it in the soup. Instantly comforting with a bad head cold.

I love to do this with tomato soup! YUM! For me, it has be Jif peanut butter, a childhood favorite.

I'm with Claire - definitely popcorn. But thanks Claire for reminding me about the bacon fat. I had totally forgotten that. Tonight, thanks to you, Claire.

Oh, believe me they are crunchy enough for me! I even love them on salads.

They are great in trail mix too.....and they make a good nut brittle.
