the quarantine Munchies



Honestly a lot of the junk food I will likely mention today started long before said quarantine

As many are unable to do too much to keep our minds off food - the quest for the satisfying treat of choice has become sort of a pastime

Whether it be sweet or savory- we are on the hunt

I know for us- right up there with the precious toilet paper and hand sanitizer— our household would not be complete without veggie straws -combos- and the beloved unappreciated bugles (only original of course!)

Sweets but lower in sugar content are a must- I’ve found a new respect for the animal cracker/ plain iced or chocolate
And pray tell me who the heck decided to discontinue those yummy cookie packs that  little Caesar’s pizza used to give out!!

The lava cake had been a staple as has been my carb smart vanilla ice cream! And never ever ever be without your sugar free cool whip!

I think I am going to eat more popcorn— note to self- see if I can order one of those popcorn makers that use oil— really the way to go

And has anyone recently tried those surprisingly good osyter crackers- kids love them

The frozen family size entrees have proved to be very handy and something the stores don’t seem to be under stocked with

Try to avoid the chips and heavy stuff- cause we will all be leaving the house at some point— we don’t want all these delish coping items cost us a whole new wardrobe

  1. Our diet has changed as we dont fresh veggies and fruit. So Im cooking more soups and meals from what we have frozen and for some reason the munchies are an issue. Why??????

    1. Haha I get it!!
      Now for me soup is also a must- I’ve been breaking out the old crockpot for sure! I’m still loving my simple but hard to find Campbell’s chicken vegetable!!

  2. I saw two memes on Facebook. One was "make sure you try on your work pants every few days, they are less forgiving than sweats and pajama bottoms". And the other one was a note taped in the fridge "no you aren't hungry, you are bored, close the door."

    Hard not to snack during these times. I'm weighing myself weekly to make sure no unwanted weight creeps on and limiting what I snack on. I love those oyster crackers!! They don't make them anymore as far as I can see in the stores, but when my kids were toddlers Gerber made these pretzel treats. They were so tasty!
