moosh in indy.

May 22, 2008

Given that I’m about to bask in the glow of So You Think You Can Dance for the next two hours (OH HAPPY FLIPPING DAY) it’s a given that I am going to need a snack. Maybe several.

Now if I had my choice I’d me shoving Air Heads, Cheetos and Oreos down my gullet and breakneck speed.

But then I’d be kinda big. And unhealthy. And probably kinda sick. Not to mention I’d most likely poop funny colors.

So I have to choose wisely. Way more wisely than Air Heads, Cheetos and Oreos.

Which leads me to my list of of favorite snackish type things (and the moosh’s, gah I hate to share sometimes.).

Avocado, cut into chunks with a wee bit of salsa and a sprinkle of garlic salt. Dip what you wish. Or just eat it straight out of the bowl. Whatever.
Fritos (scoops) dipped into (4% large curd) cottage cheese. Did you snarl your nose? Dude, if you only knew.
Cold pineapple(fresh only), a bit of milk (2%), some ice and a splash of vanilla. Blend the daylights out of it and OH BABY.
Edamame (soybeans, I prefer shelled). Steamed, brought to room temperature and lightly salted.
Ham (deli sliced) wrapped (Vlasic please) dill pickles. Okay, so sodium overload. But it’s only occasional.
Artichokes. Steamed. With a little mayo to dip. My sister and I used to battle over the heart.
Finally, popcorn and orange juice. But not just any popcorn. Only Orville Redenbacher’s popcorn is allowed in my house and I prefer it to be either Old Fashioned Butter or their new Buttery Garlic stuff (loooove). And yes, orange juice. Like peas and carrots. My dad and sister subscribe to the popcorn orange juice school of thought also.

After a very stressful day on the popcorn aisle when I was unable to find Old Fashioned Butter, (seriously, when they stop making something you so dearly love and are impassioned to? STRESSFUL.) I swore to never love again.

Turns out I was just at the wrong store. Old Fashioned Butter is alive and well. And on sale at Marsh. *phew*

Orville heard of my loyalty and offered up a couple of sweet gift packs of popcorn for me to give away. Want one? You know you do. I got one, well, I already ate it all, but I got one.

So here goes. Leave a comment, tell me you’re favorite snack or what popcorn you are loyal to. Let’s just say if it’s not Orville Redenbacher’s Old Fashioned Butter you don’t know what you’re talking about. (However I should give credit to the Buttery Garlic stuff, it comes in mini bags, Old Fashioned doesn’t.) I can’t sit on the couch for longer than an hour without popcorn. Seriously. Love.

Okay, contest. comment, tell me your favorite snack, your family’s favorite snack. A snack that holds a special place in your heart. I’ll pick two comments at random on Monday May 26th. Which means you have until Sunday May 25th at midnight EST to enter. And which also means you need to leave me a valid email address (no one else will see it but me.).

Good luck. I’m going to go pop some popcorn, I told myself I couldn’t have any until after I wrote this post.

Oops, forgot to hit publish. Heh.

But it felt SO REAL.

Comments off.

Tostitos. The little round ones. Either straight out of the bag, in a bowl or with melted cheese. Yum!

Jill’s last blog post..Weekend Recap

Orville is the man, just sayin’.

We like Graham crackers with canned frosting. Not the most healthy but darn good. And we’re all about cookie cutter cut tortilla baked and served with __insert your fav dip here___.

We’re carb people.

Hummus and veggies. Cottage cheese and chips (I hear ya, girl). Popcorn, yes please. Graham crackers and milk.

Barb @ getupandplay’s last blog post..So You Think You Can Dance!!!

Am I disqualified if I admit that I did snarl my nose at Scoops and cottage cheese? Dude.

I’m going to go with homemade guacamole and yellow corn chips. I hate almost a whole bowl of guacamole when I was pregnant with baby girl and then couldn’t stand to even LOOK at an avocado for the rest of the pregnancy. It was a sad, sad time in my life. Luckily, I’ve recovered!

Kelly’s last blog post..Listy McListerson

I only buy the old fashioned peanut butter too.
Artichokes and avocado? YUM.

LifeAsIKnowIt’s last blog post..Permanent Damage?

I’m kind of partial to good old air popped popcorn – with lots of butter and not too much salt. Nothing like taking something relatively healthy and pouring butter on it.

I’m also kind of partial to corn chips with flax seed from the bulk food store – I like salty.

I’ve really enjoy reading your blog – keep up the good work

Do you mix the popcorn and orange juice?? Yikes.

Actually, I have no room to talk. My family (mother’s side) LOVES fritos and bananas. Together. Scoops are probably better, cause then you can just slice the banana right onto the frito. Yum… Darn, now I gotta go buy bananas.

Melody’s last blog post..Short-lived victory and Wordlessness

a piece of hershey’s chocolate with skippy peanut butter smeared on it. after that I NEED to follow with some utz honey wheat braided pretzels.

feener’s last blog post..Chicago Moms Blog

Popcorn… goldfish pretzels… Swedish Fish… Frosty’s from Wendys… Edemame… the list goes on and on.

So if this is a contest, what’s the prize?

kris’s last blog post..Look what I found at the zoo today…

YES, “So You Think You Can Dance” is back! I am home alone this evening, and I enjoyed the whole 2 hour show! It was just as great as always. I watched it while eating some rice pudding. (Not a typical snack, but I was seriously craving it tonight.)

I love popcorn. I don’t have a particular favorite brand…whatever is on sale usually. But I LOVE eating it with chocolate fudge. I don’t usually have that around, so any chocolate will do. My great-grandparents always served popcorn with fudge, so did my grandparents, and my mom did occasionally. No wonder I do it. So, I can understand your orange juice with popcorn thing.

Mommy Daisy’s last blog post..Peace AND Quiet

Pace Tequilla Lime Salsa is my current drug of choice. Turned me off at first but I LOVE the kick. And ultra, will break on you, thin chips can’t be beat!

Angela’s last blog post..Not much

Frozen Junior Mints. Chocolatey and refreshing but also not as bad for you as most candy.

Mmmm. Yum.

Janssen’s last blog post..Pointless

OMG, I am also FREAKISHLY excited about the return of So You Think You Can Dance. None of my friends are into it, but now I can find kindred spirits in blog land!

My best friend makes the best guacamole. I would eat it every day. With my favorite chips, Santitas white corn tortilla chips (I don’t know why, I just really like the thickness etc). I could also snack constantly on bread and cheese. My favorite cheese is called ‘barely buzzed’ and I buy it at the fancy cheese store where my friend works. It has lavender in it and is coated in coffee grounds. Are you snarling your nose now? Well, it’s actually delicious!

Rachael’s last blog post..TV Thoughts Tonight

Officially delurking here! LOVE your blog!

I am going to have to say my Best Friend and I have a favorite snack of Vlasic crunchy dill pickles and sharp cheddar cheese. Together. So yummy.

Mmmmm. Roasted red pepper hummus. Will devour an entire tub of it. I also lurve me some strawberries on store bought angel food cake. heh

My family…that would be my awesome chocolate chip cookies.

Queen of Shake Shake’s last blog post..Thing One & Thing Two

My family’s tv snack growing up was popcorn but we weren’t fancy enough for the microwave stuff, we went the way of air popped with butter and salt. We switched your OJ for Root Beer, but I’ll have to say your route is healthier.

For me, chips are usually my downfall as well as chocolate. But a good snack is also pita chips dips in tzakki dip ( yes I’m aware that is spelled wrong but have no clue how to spell it)

Alana’s last blog post..My Birthday

Muhumurrah (Which is probably very similar to Queen of the Shake Shake’s roasted red pepper hummus) and pita triangles.

Fritos and bean dip (I know)

Golden Grahams out of the box (I KNOW)

Loralee’s last blog post..Sideblog:AllMediocre

Try spreading a little cream cheese on that ham before you wrap it around a pickle….mmmmmmmm

Lisa’s last blog post..Sexy Stuffed Crepes & Muhammara Hummus

When we were kids we would eat saltines with peanut butter on them with a little sugar sprinkled on top. Not sure how that all started..but hey it’s yummmmmy!
As an adult I love peanut butter in any form.

Favorite snack, huh, I would have to say a cantaloupe cut in half (seeds scooped out of the middle tp make a little bowl) with vanilla ice cream. Yum! Every time you take a bite of icecream you get a little bit of melon with it.

midwestmommy’s last blog post..Wii-Fit Just kicked my butt!!!

We like to have apples and peanut butter here at our house. Boring, but still awesome!

Shannon’s last blog post..Silly Roxy

Okay…

Either Oreos dipped in peanut butter

Cheesey Doritos dipped in salsa-covered cream cheese. Fattening and delicious!

Lauryn Goodvich’s last blog post..Take me out to the ball game.

soo popcorn with salt and vinigar chips, i dont like salt and vinegar chips alone but if you mix both in a bowl, they are amazing. the other thing we have is either frozen hot chocolate or fruit smoothies. we make both. frozen hot chocolate we fill up our magic bullet with ice add chocolate syrup and fill with milk and blend…. sooooooooo good. and the smoothies, we freeze french vanilla fat free yogurt in ice cube trays. put about 3-4 cubes in the magic bullet cup add frozen fruit like strawberries, mangos etc… fill with milk and blend the heck out of it

Liam Craig’s last blog post..Kinsmen

1. Do you know I have a food blog called “Snackish”? Yep, I do, http://snackish.blogspot.com

Homemade kettle corn – just put a tablespoon fulla supafine sugar in with the popcorn in the pan because I make popcorn on the stove, properly, not this newfangled microwave way because microwave popcorn is teh evil.

A whole wheat tortilla, cooked on the comal with just a little butter and sprinkled with superfine sugar and cinnamon til it all melts. Super yum.

Suebob’s last blog post..Next stop, Darwin Awards

Twofold:

1: Avocado on toast with brewers yeast sprinkled on top.

2: Jalapeno flavor kettle potato chips dipped in cottage cheese. I’m with ya.

Reese’s last blog post..True Talent

Mmmm — LOVE edamame.

And olives — green and black.

Lately I’ve had a thing for Hot Tamales though, which can’t be good …

mommypie’s last blog post..Da Goils, they’re going to Hawaii.

We have two go-to snacks ’round Casa del Spohr and they are both awesome.

We will either eat pretzel chips (really thin, flat pretzels) and hummus from Trader Joe’s.

When we feel very decadent, we have a Ploughman’s Lunch (meats, cheeses, crusty bread, butter, pickles, and an apple. Yeah, some people have that as a meal, we have it as a snack around these parts.

I’ve been looking for the buttery garlic popcorn and I can’t find it. I think you made it up.

Mmm, I like the kettle corn! We make our own, with a little twist, a couple drops of Dave’s Insanity Sauce and you have spicy kettle corn!
For a treat I love York Peppermint Patties! (you can’t really call this a snack unless you eat the whole bag… which I try not to do!

Krista’s last blog post..Something for Them

Fritos and cottage cheese sounds good but didn’t you say you had to choose wisely?

For the life of me, I can’t think of a snack I particularly enjoy… Am I still considered a woman if I don’t really snack???

Will be sure to try your avocado snack. I do enjoy a good guacamole.

dana’s last blog post..MwMS

love apples dipped in caramel.
in turkey they have these cheese stick crackers that we love as well. the first time we ever opened a bag of them we thought they smelled like stinky feet, but now…yummy!

natalie’s last blog post..Scarlett singing

That buttery garlic popcorn is the absolute bestest bestes there is. But a close second is Orville Cracked Black Pepper popcorn. Oh Yeah, big time yumminess.

Adrienne’s last blog post..Sniper Fire?

I know all to well when your favorite goes missing. Mine was Orville’s divine Sweet and Salty. Perfect for us as my hubby is the popcorn nut and I love it a bit more sweet. It was the perfect combination that has gone MIA. Now we just go for the Old Fashioned Butter.

My favorite snack at the moment? Baskin Robbins Love Potion #31. My family’s? I would have to say…cookies. They love chocolate chip cookies. Snack that means something? Mint Milanos.

Love you.

Kimmie’s last blog post..Dude.

Two slices of whole grain or multi-grain bread, toasted. Smeared with fat-free hellman’s mayo. Topped with fresh, ripe tomatoes (grown in AZ by my grandfather [who, as luck would have it, died last summer, leaving me sad AND without tomatoes]) salted and peppered, and squished together. Creating the world’s most simple and delicious sandwich.

Cut into triangular halves, and accompanied by a tall glass of icy-cold skim milk.

I’m drooling.

Camille’s last blog post..If I Die Today, I Hope at Least I Get Salsa as My Last Meal

Hmmm, there seems to be a lot of popcorn fans out there!

I love me some Orville popcorn. When the bag just comes out of the microwave I pour it in a plastick bowl and then throw in a handful of regular M&M’s. The chocolate melts a bit and is a perfect combination of sweet and salt. It is the cheap mans version of Peterbrooke’s (local chocolatier) chocolate covered popcorn.

I also love, love, love chocolate chip cookies. When they are warm from the oven put a few in a bowl and then put a scoop of vanilla ice cream over them and hear them sizzle and ooze. Yummy!

…and now for the part where I kiss up. Your blog is seriously the first one that I check each morning. LOVE IT!

Jolly Time Mallow Magic Popcorn. I’m on a quest to find it in Indianapolis. Had to bring my own home from Salt Lake. Popcorn has never tasted this good. Kind of like Rice Krispie treats.

Anna’s last blog post..22 Lines about 11 Movies

When we are watching a movie, the family HAS to have Redenbacher “Kettle Corn”, or “Sweet and Salty” and Pepsi. Sometimes I like to float a piece or two of popcorn in my Pepsi. I, too, love edemame. But my all tme fave, is when we are driving, say on a long drive or driving to vacay, when it is okay to eat… I love some peanuts in a Dr. Pepper! You know the long bag of peanuts you get at the gas station..pour them babies in a Dr. Pepper and you have pure bliss. I just noticed a theme of me having to dip my food in my drinks..?

OH and just in case no one has tried it yet, Ben and Jerry’s makes a new flavor…Cake Batter…that’s all I have to say on that one.

Chrissy@spoiledmom’s last blog post..Happy Memorial Day Weekend

Favorite snack? Chips with (homemade) salsa. Or I add a little mashed avocado for guacamole & then I don’t have to share because nobody likes the green stuff but me!

I love smoothies. My favorite is to take strawberries and orange juice, and perhaps some blue berries, then mix it in a blender. Mmm! It’s my favorite pick-me up, and I always have a smoothie after I take exams. It’s delicious and it’s good for you: score!

As for popcorn, I don’t think I have a preference. If I lived in the US, I’m sure it would be Orville Redenbacher’s Old Fashioned Butter.

Frozen Star’s last blog post..Pink say-what-now?

I don’t know if they sell it in the US, but Orville makes a roasted corn on the cob (it’s a kind of microwave popcorn) that is UNREAL… it’s got real butter, not face topping.

SciFi Dad’s last blog post..The Redirect

ALL of your snacks sound so great, I may have to try the few I haven’t already! And SYTYCD? GREAT show!!!

As for my favorite snack, it’s hard to pick just one… I love a fresh baguette of french bread with some olive-garlic tapenade. Also chips and guacamole, mmmmmm! But the easiest, laziest one I always fall back on is crackers with pepper jack cheese – cheesy and spicy at the same time! YAY!

Z’s last blog post..Personification of LAME

garlic bread (does that count as a snack or as a side that I just eat all by itself instead of with a meal?)

popcorn, preferable kettle corn (because I can’t even eat popcorn without SUGAR)

ice cream

Can I have any more carbs?

Shawna’s last blog post..B(l)ogged down

Popcorn is a STAPLE here. Nightly.

We also like 100 calorie mint chocolate cookies topped with 100 calorie pudding and cool whip. Tastes so much more sinful than it is.

Kristin’s last blog post..The incompetence of people

Texas Caviar and Tostitos Scoop chips. ooooooo la la. heaven.

Kristin’s last blog post..Mother’s Day re-cap

We are a popcorn-monger family around here too! For reals. And, yes. It has to be Orville. We like the old fashioned butter, too! Yummy yummy yum!
I saw that you mentioned something VERY close to my favorite snack. Evah!
Take that sliced ham, spread some CREAM CHEESE on it before you wrap the pickle. Slice for a snacky-finger food. My family requests it at every get-together. And, I always make enough for leftovers for moi. Mmmm MMmm MMMMM!

Mandy’s last blog post..Haiku Friday – One little monkey swinging on a swing

I couldn’t even make it through the first 20 minutes of the SYTYCD audition show. Cringe-worthy… I’ll wait til they get to Vegas.

I’m with you on the pickles and ham… next time try it with a little cream cheese spread on the ham before you wrap the pickle. Calcium!!

Jill’s last blog post..Baby’s First Obsession

I should say that your cottage cheese/Frito taste should be altered just a bit. When I was in kindergarten ( it was half day kindergarted way back when ), every Wednesday after school my Granny would pick me up after school. She is the person that started my on a lifelong addiction to Nacho Cheese Doritos dipped in cottage cheese. There was nothing better to me back then. An afternoon of ‘Days of Our Lives’, ‘Doctors’ and my awesome snack! Thirty years later, I still love Doritos and cottage cheese. ( My Granny is now 96 and still makes sure there is cottage cheese available for me at her house! I love her to no end!!!)

I love prosciutto and provolone wrapped asparagus – totally rich flavor! you can’t stop eating them. At least there is a veggie involved!

Blanch asparagus (thinest ones you can get) and place in ice bath. Wrap each spear or two with some provolone followed by prosciutto. Place on cookie sheet and bake in oven till cheese is melted! – enjoy!

Sarah’s last blog post..FLDS “Clean” Sweep

Mmmm, my favorite snack? I am hooked on dry Cheerios with a cold glass of chocolate milk. I look forward to eating it from the second I wake up in the morning until the kiddies go to bed at night. My husband, on the other hand, cannot sit for five minutes past eight o’clock at night w/out a bag of freshly popped popcorn at his side.
And, So You Think You Can Dance? It’s about time, a year is far too long to go w/o seeing some professional poppin’ and lockin’. I luuuuuuuuuv this show too.

Ya’ll have some interesting combination of snack choice. I thought mine was weird but it’s actually pretty tame..for a midnight snack peanutbutter and mayo sandwich. M&M’s in my popcorn..yum.
I’m not partial to any brand of popcorn but I’ll take Orville over anybody any day.

jean’s last blog post..Beeep

Its been years since I’ve had this but — Nacho cheese doritos dipped in peanut butter. Sounds gross? Yeah, it probably is but it was the snack of choice during my college partying days…

Mitch’s last blog post..My Daughter, The Photographer

If it’s edible and doesn’t have onions, I pretty much love it.

kristi’s last blog post..I love coffee in the wee early morning, which is totally unrelated to this post.

I have totally given up microwave popcorn (so don’t enter me in the contest) in favor of real popcorn, done in a pan on the stove with oil. SO. MUCH. BETTER. I used to love movie theater popcorn, but after I got accustomed to making it on the stove, I went to the theater and got popcorn and it tasted fake.

Popcorn’s healthy, you know. Whole grain. And when you do it on the stove you control the salt and butter content.

Try it!! Thank me later.

Amy @ http://prettybabies.blogspot.com

Amy’s last blog post..We’ve Reached a New Low

My favorite, favorite, favorite popcorn is Kettle Corn in the mini bags. Yum! And luckily nobody else likes it I so eat it all!

Edamame is frequently had in my house. I will admit last week I had edamame and macaroni for dinner. Is that weird?

And on your pickle snack… try spreading cream cheese on a patted dry slice of ham and then rolling it around a whole pickle. Let it chill in the fridge then slice into pickle chips. Yum!

Megan’s last blog post..Wii would like to invade your home and take over your life.

We are cheese and cracker people. If it’s cheddar, the sharper the better. But we love the fancy stuff, too.

We also are big popcorn-in-front-of-the-movie folks. Orange juice sounds PERFECT to go with it. I can’t believe I haven’t thought of that before.

EMama’s last blog post..Best Birthday Ever, episode I

love popcorn too. but true snack of choice during “so you think you can dance”….

1. I totally second the ham/pickle thing, but I slather cream cheese around my pickle first.

2. yogurt, frozen mango, and some fresh granola. What a sweet treat!

ellinghouse’s last blog post..rocks in her diaper

Pour the little round tostitos on a plate & cover with shredded cheese ~ pop in the microwave just long enough to melt it & then plop a spoonful of sour cream on the side. YUM! Hubs & I do this for our movie nights & then curl up in bed & fight over the cheesy cheesy bites.

During pregnancy I COVET peanut butter ice cream w/ cold strawberries & a drizzle of chocolate syrup. What? I’m pregnant & it tastes GOOOOOOD. And it doesn’t hurt my throat on it’s second showing.

Tostitos will destroy your esophogus when they re-appear. At least that’s what it feels like to me anyway. I’m off tostitos for the next 7 months.

BTW – Pour-Over-Cheddar-style Popcorn ~ ROCKS. You gotta try it!!

Bellamomma’s last blog post..“The clock will strike midnight … and she’ll be gone”

I knew my husband loved me when he let me eat his artichoke heart (hey, this is NOT dirty!)! Love those!

I love popcorn, too, and now I put some it a paper sack and microwave it. So much cleaner, easier! Then decorate it, salt, garlic, buttery topping, cheese, whateva!

Wendy’s last blog post..it’s official: we’re White Trash

My ultimate favorite snack is any of my homemade cookies. I make the best cookies, in my opinion! Lunch meat, cream cheese and pickles are yummy too. I was introduced to it at my wedding reception, love at first taste. I also like small curd cottage cheese and canned pineapple with the juice. Sliced apples dipped into peanut butter. Baked tortilla chips dipped into a mixture of sour cream and salsa or cream cheese and salsa. Thanks for this post, I have been needing to eat healthier snacks. I have had a dozen or two many of my cookies.:)

You know what popcorn was awesome? Whatever brand it was that briefly came out with Corn on the Cob flavor. I LOVED it. It really tasted like roasted corn on the cob. Sadly, I have not seen it in years, and fear that I was the only one who loved it.

My other favorite snack is Ritz crackers. Plain. It’s so boring, and I could sit down and eat an entire sleeve in one sitting.

all things bd’s last blog post..Cinderella

My husband I love Uncle Willie’s Kettle Corn, it’s half the price of other popcorn and super good! I hadn’t seen it till I moved to Tennessee, and we can’t get enough of it.

For a special treat, I’ll make caramel popcorn from scratch with melted butter, brown sugar and light corn syrup. Pour over plain popcorn in a brown paper bag and shake it up, delicious!!

Love your blog!

Kimberly’s last blog post..Somehow surviving…

Oh my stars, it is ALL about the Old Fashioned Butter. I’m a big buttered popcorn fan and my husband notsomuch, but this stuff is a great compromise that we both love. I just about can’t tolerate any other flavor, such is my passion.

Marilyn’s last blog post..Return of the big baby

i didn’t know there was anyone else in the world who ate artichokes

ali’s last blog post..my mother forgot my birthday

So at my house, our guilty snack is chocolate ice cream with Jif peanut butter spooned in. Yeah, you can get fatter just thinking of it….

Toni’s last blog post..Haikuing Summer TV

Avacado slices with a bit of salt? Heaven! Also, Wheat Thins with cottage cheese. Or anything with melted cheese on top.

My evil indulgence? Pretzels & Nutella. I have to limit my Nutella consumption to a couple times a year, or it could be the death of me.

Should I be embarrassed that I didn’t know what edamame was?

RG in ID’s last blog post..Global warming my butt

mmm i love kettle corn…

2 of my favorite snacks:

mix blue belle homemade vanilla with orange juice…SO good!

mcdonald’s french fries dipped in their vanilla ice cream. YUM!

biddy’s last blog post..ketchup…catsup…oh yeah, CATCH UP

Orville’s on cottage cheese, not just any, it has to be Breakstones 4%. Good, weird but good! If we are out of popcorn, pretzels will be in a pinch. Seriously.

I know a LOT of people who insist on OJ with their popcorn!

I actually eat popcorn almost every day. I get the 100 calorie bags of the fat free kind (butter, of course…just a lot less fat). I used to buy Act II, though. Because they were the only mini bags at wally world. But now, I actually have Orville Redenbacher Smart Pop Mini bags.

Also – pretzels. I have an unhealthy love for pretzels.

Butrfly Garden’s last blog post..Answer You Anything! Part One.

My fav popcorn is Kettle Corn. Tim thinks it’s the worst thing EVER.

But we have two snacks in our house that we really love: 1) seafood/shrimp surprise dip and 2) a cream cheese bean dip thingy. Mmmmmmm

ashlee’s last blog post..26 Weeks Pregnant!

I can’t tell you how long I’ve been counting down the weeeeeeks until So You Think You Can Dance came back on! It’s BY FAR the best show out there….especially in summer.

On to my snacks… our family loves ice cream. We’re totally ice cream people. But I will not allow an ice cream with a hardened chocolate in it in my house (ie: It’s gotta be oreo and not chocolate chip)…cookie dough is the one exception to the rule.

You have to try my popcorn, though. A bag of popcorn (even butterless would work if you’re being healthy) sprinkled with fresh lime juice and….wait for it…hot sauce. YUMMY!

Nicole’s last blog post..May 6th is right around the corner…

Popcorn has always been one of my favorite snacks – even back in the dark ages before we had a microwave and you had to buy the OR popcorn kernels in the glass (not a fun mess when you drop THAT one!!) jar and use a pot on the stove or a popcorn popper. The best was when mom would pop the popcorn, then put it in a big paper bag and pour melted butter and lots of salt on it. NUMMY!!

I will admit, I used to love to take a spoonful (JIF only, please) of peanut butter and eat that for a snack. Not an option any more – my daughter has a severe peanut allergy so we do not even have it in the house. My withdrawal when we found out about it and I had to give it up was brutal…good thing she is worth it =)

Anything dipped in hummus, rotel and velveta melted together with frito scoops.

Rayne of Terror’s last blog post..Trudi update

Tuna mixed up with a little mayo and spread on Ritz, and heavily peppered. And also fresh snow peas, but not at the same time.

We are trying to loose some serious weight around our house, so right now we love chocolate type protein bars – boring I know.

If lifestyle choices were in the scenario, then I would pick a plethora of chocolate, you know rolos, m&m’s, kisses, etc. with popcorn thrown in for good measure.

Now I have to go and eat a protein bar before I go and raid the pantry!

Jennie’s last blog post..Not so smart…

did someone say snacks? I LOVE snacks!
Some of my favorite:
watermelon with salt (just try it and then try and tell me it’s not amazing)

kettlecorn

chips and salsa

miss bee’s last blog post..Home Sweet Home (for reals this time)

cottage cheese, a smidge of salsa scooped with baked lays.

Holly’s last blog post..Update

oh, i’m drooling here.

my family is all about the ice cream. unfortunately, no one agrees on the flavor. makes the freezer a little … uh … overcrowded!

the planet of janet’s last blog post..Haiku Friday: the I totally score edition

WOO HOO for snackies!!!

Julio’s chips (made in San Angelo, TX- tortilla chips with seasoned salt) with homeade salsa.

Hummus and toasted pita bread.

Queso and chips.

Good thing I don’t have ANY of this at home…I’d eat it ALL right now!

Mini pretzels and ice cold milk. While reading in the bathtub.

My favorite snacks tend to go in phases… sometimes its as weird as chips + ice cream, other times its oranges (as in 2+ at a time) or green beans (raw, the kind you snap). When I’m in one of my phases thats pretty much all I’ll eat for a snack… drives my family crazy

heather’s last blog post..I guess this is a ‘blob’

CHEESE CURLS/BALLS. I have an addiction. (Also? I think we’re snack twins. I love each and everything on your list, and avocados are my desert island food.)

metalia’s last blog post..What I’ve Been Up To

Crumble up some feta cheese, add some chopped up olives and top with a little Italian salad dressing.
You can spread i on bread, eat it straight up or use it for dipping just about anything (including your fingers.)

Sarah @ Ordinary Days’s last blog post..Do They Come in Super-Ultra-Extreme Absorbancy?

mmmm…snacks… I just discovered a new one: a slice of good sourdough bread, toasted, and then spread with home-made chocolate buttercream icing. Only home-made. With real, good, bitter cocoa powder and everything. The only problem with this snack is that it makes you want to eat 10 more slices.

MommyTime’s last blog post..Green Up Your Thumb, part 2

We love pita chips and avocado (when it is perfectly ripe we scoop it right out of the shell) or pita chips and hummus (trade joe’s mediterranean is the BEST!). We also love Orville Redenbacher’s popcorn, but only the yellow air pop variety…. I have my parents old school popper from the 80′s where the butter melts in the lid while it pops. mmmmmmnnnnnn

Melissa’s last blog post..Cade Thomas is here!

Chips and salsa are a family favorite. My husband loves cheese con queso and prefers pico de gallo but I’ll eat any salsa. Even little Hailey digs her some tortilla chips. Oh and avocado with salt – yum-o.
Fun contest!!!

Rachel’s last blog post..Because she is so cute…

pringles cheezums, baby. ohh yeah!

Jenny from Mommin’ it Up!’s last blog post..It’s official – boys are gross.

I love popcorn popped with minimarshmallows and crushed peppermint candies! My mom used to make it all the time – she learned the recipe from a bakery that made it for weddings. You need one of those wirlypop stove top popper things – but it is delicious!

SuzyQ’s last blog post..Pin Pictures!

PS: I copied your contest idea on my blog. Take a look.

Nori. Mme L and I both loooove just to tear a sheet of nori up with our teeth. But your mention of fresh pineapple got me drooling. Note to self: pick up a pineapple at the store tomorrow.

(Been a long time…missed you.)

My all time favorite snack is Ruffles original potato chips with “shrimp dip” (made with a bar of cream cheese, a can of condensed cream of shrimp soup, some garlic salt, some worsteshire (sp) sauce, and a bit of lemon juice) SO GOOD!!! I could eat the whole bowl of dip. It’s so tasty and special we only ever ate/eat it on general conference weekend. YUMM-EE!!

My favorite popcorn is the kind my dad made—a little hot oil at the bottom of the pan, popcorn kernels, shake, shake, shake until popped and sprinkle with salt. No butter, ever! I remember thinking butter was kind of weird on popcorn.

He’s gone now but I still love that kind of popcorn. And with my oldest allergic to milk, we end up buying the hardest-to-find kind of microwave popcorn: oil, salt, no butter.

Oh, and I like green lollipops dipped in milk. Pinkie swear.

I love your new header! I’m behind on visiting all my favorite blogs, so this is my first visit in a few days or more.

Loved your list of favorite snacks. I have a long list of favs too, but lately I can’t eat much of them because of my lapband restriction.

I normally love raw veggies with ranch dip, garlic/parmesean/sundried tomato crackers, fruit smoothies, melted cheese on wheat thins, popcorn (I’m a popcorn whore, I’ll eat almost any kind) and sour cream and onion pringles (bad, I know).

How fun!

I really like the Orville Redenbacher Smart pop Kettle Corn. It’s sweet and salty, and not too greasy.

I think I’m #100! Oooh!

My current favorite snack is Turtle Chex Mix. Yum.

And SYTYCD? Love it! Missed this weeks opened since I was camping with my students. But last year, I took my daughter to see the tour when it came around. It was a lot of fun.

Mim’s last blog post..Just Lovely

Ok…favorite snack ever would have to be Ritz crackers with Philadelphia Cream Cheese spread on top and then a slice of Hormel pepperoni on top of that. MMMMM! As for popcorn I also love Mr. Redenbacher however I go for the ultra healthy pour over movie theater butter variety.

Old Dutch or Lays Salt and Vinegar chips.
Favourite snack BY FAR.

Meg’s last blog post..Will’s Choice

HOLY MOSES! We ALWAYS had our popcorn with OJ growing up. I totally understand (actually, I’m picking popcorn hulls out of my teeth as I write, but tonight washed it down with a little sauvingnon blanc…. yeah, I know). A little shameless self promotion here, but I’m kinda diggin’ the Homestead Mushroom Pate I have made the last 2 weeks for the Farmers Markets. Lots of roasted garlic and sweet Sherry. With pita chips. Love it love it!

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

Ok, maybe you don’t, but I do!

Ya know, I’m not usually a snacker. IF I am in a snacking mood somehow I would probably snack on Doritos. Cheese flavor.

Or, microwave popcorn with melted butter on it. Yes, it isn’t good for the heart but it’s great for the mouth!!!

If I’m watching a movie I like sour patch kids. Mmmmm

Oh! My current favorite? Chocolate chips and peanut butter…pathetic, but simple and delicious.

Lauren’s last blog post..Happy Weekend!

My favorite new snack is fritos scoops, filled with chipolte salsa and some melted velveta on top. Kind of like a nacho, but butter. Also, try the new Kettle cooked Jalapeno chips. They are almost too good…

favorite snacks

Orville Redenbacher’s popcorn (any flavor) & mixed with a bag of salt n vinegar chips

poutine … yummy (french fries, gravy & cheese lots of cheese)

mommybootcamp’s last blog post..HARD WORK

Twizzlers or Cheetos!!!!

I’m a huge time fan of Hershey’s Almond kisses. And gummy bears, but only Black Forest brand, because the green ones taste like apple instead of lime. Yes, its that important.

AmyLee’s last blog post..Teeth. As in more than one.

Our favorite snack as a family is my homemade caramel popcorn. My personal favorite is a good old fashioned, plain avocado

Half-Past Kissin’ Time’s last blog post..Dear Parent (Who Does Her Son’s Homework For Him),

Ham wrapped pickles…Yum…What makes it ten times better? A little cream cheese inside that ham. YUM YUM YUM YUM.

So bad for you, but soooooo freaking good.
