What is your favorite impulse food?

[missy]

LOL! And to you, dear girl!

I used to be a chocolate junky, but ever since I've been home on short term disability, all I crave are spicy and salty food. I got bags of Doritos by my bed, and asking DH to go bring me french fries counts as "special events". Actually, that's all I want for Valentine's Day!

This used to be my favorite impulse food...can you guess what this is?

@missy, I made these today! (You posted the recipe a long time ago)
They are so delicious......

Peanut Butter Bars

These peanut butter bars are rich, creamy, and taste just like peanut butter cups. Made with just 5 ingredients, these no-bake bars are easy to make.

Showed Greg and he approves!

When I go to Trader Joe’s I always grab a couple Bibimbap bowls if they have them. The sodium content is obscene so I don’t use all the sauce but it’s so simple and satisfying...

I have a new favorite impulse food I have been enjoying for the past few months. I recently added almonds back to my diet and so far so good though time will tell if I can continue eating it.

Almond butter. OMG so good. I cannot eat peanut butter and this is as good IMO! The consistency is the same as PB and the taste is similar to me. I love it.

I get the unsalted almond butter from Trader Joes. All that is in it is almonds.

Store-Bought Almond Butter Review!

Ahh almond butter, how we love you! Almond butter is a versatile nut butter rich in protein, fiber, magnesium, riboflavin, calcium, and potassium. If

Has anyone else tried this? Does anyone else love it?
I am eating it daily and it is becoming hard to control how much I eat lol.

Any new impulse foods being enjoyed by you guys lately?

Ooh I don't think we have tried that. I love the mango dip Costco has and the one you shared sounds amazing so next time we go to TJs I am going to search for it and buy it if they have it. Thanks @Austina!

 

[Austina]

Be warned @missy, once you start eating it, you can’t stop! K always buys it for us when we’re there.

Haha that is almost true for any TJ purchase that I enjoy. Maybe I just have poor impulse control?

OMG I just saw this brilliant thread!

Savoury: Spicy pork crackling

Sweet: Macadamia nut ice cream (I love it and when I eat it I wonder what pecan will taste like Missy!)

I might die never knowing what butter pecan ice cream tastes like!

Oh my gosh re Macadamia nut ice cream. I have never had that flavor but now I must! I will request Jimmy make that for us. JK. I cannot ask him to do more for us than he already does but if I ever get the opportunity to have some I will! And you will love love love butter pecan. I wish I could send it to you through the screen. It is buttery pecanny good. Yummmmmmmmm. And one day I am hoping you can enjoy butter pecan with us in person! You will not die without knowing the pleasures of butter pecan ice cream!!! If I have anything to do with it!!!

Just thought of another impulse food 'cos my dh just called to ask if I wanted anything from our favorite grease pit diner.....I LOVE zucchini fries with diner ranch. I eat a large order as a MEAL!

 

[voce]

This. No other fried chicken in the entire world compares. I don't think people unfamiliar with authentic Sichuanese cuisine would have any idea about the flavor profile.

We order this whenever we have Sichuan Food....usually there are more red chili peppers than chicken!

 

[GliderPoss]

I rarely keep any junk food in the house and I’m not super into chocolate so probably closest impulse food would be hot buttered Vegemite toast and a cup of tea.... bliss!

HI:

Snyder's pretzels. Oofffff.

cheers--Sharon

 

[Arcadian]

Popcorn, though I probably should stop eating it for little while my big trigger allergies will trigger the minor food ones which while minor are numerous...so thats been fun this week....

Popcorn is my absolute weakness. But it is wrecking my gums/teeth. I actually took popcorn out of my grocery cart this week....and was SAD!

 

[Begonia]

Chocolate, potato chips, cheesy popcorn, pringles, chocolate chips, Halloween candy, peanut butter toast, cinnamon toast...I try not to play favorites, it isn't healthy.

 

[bling_dream19]

Cape cod Kettle chips with sour cream onion dip, bouchard dark chocolate!

 

[oakleaf]

Original Cheetos, kettle chips dipped in Top the Tater, and pretty much anything that combines chocolate and peanut butter (Reese’s, Nutty Bars, more Reese’s.....)

 

[AprilBaby]

Stupid, but my favorite impulse stress food in the world.

 

[ZestfullyBling]

Twizzers and red vines. But this the season for my homemade apple crisp!!

OMG that sounds so good!
As an aside I love Twizzlers and Red vines too and also enjoy black licorice and was surprised to find out the other week that it can be poisonous if consumed in too great a quantity! FYI for those who enjoy black licorice.

Back to those homemade apple crisps. Please share when you bake them. I adore apple crisps and anything baked with apples. Yummmmm.

Some apple tarts my DH baked for Thanksgiving past.

Not stupid. Who doesn't love powdered mini donuts? Yummm. I can taste the powdered sugar melting on my lips right now. Sweet.

Same! I am crazy for peanut butter and chocolate. Though it doesn't agree with me anymore so I substitute almond butter for the PB and so far so good. I purchased some almond butter chocolate treats from a vegan gluten free bakery and will let you know what I think once I have them. I have been saving them but I am not sure why. Delayed gratification perhaps or afraid of disappointment perhaps. Not sure which lol. Either way the anticipation is delightful.

I probably shouldn't admit this but I eat popcorn every night. I am crazy for popcorn. With some sea salt. So good. Very satisfying. I love the crunch and how long it takes me to eat it too.
