52 Lists week #21; My Favorite Snacks

Anyone who knows me that this list challenge was no challenge at all this week.  I think the only problem I had with "listing your favorite snacks" was narrowing it down enough that it could all fit in one blog post!

I love snacks and I love a variety of foods. 



Some days there is nothing I want more than a crunchy/ salty snack like:

  • potato chips (most any flavor will do!)
  • buttery popcorn
  • Smartfood
  • Cheetos 
  • cheese curls
  • Cheese, crackers, and pepperoni
  • Cheez- It's 

Some days nothing but chocolate will do! and I really want something like:
  • Nutty bars
  • homemade brownies
  • warm, gooey chocolate chip cookies
  • decadent chocolate mousse cheesecake
  • a trifle cake with pudding, cool whip and candy bits (Like this one pictured below)
  • Peanut butter pie with hot fudge and peanut butter sauce drizzles 
  • Chocolate covered strawberries (healthy with all those strawberries in it; right?)
  • Lindt truffles (dark chocolate preferably)


Other times I want something filling and totally comforting like:
  • French fries loaded with balsamic vinegar and salt
  • A bagel toasted with some butter and melted cheese on top
  • Hot cocoa
  • A warm buttery croissant
  • A French baguette with smoked Gouda cheese
  • A warm, salty jumbo pretzel from Auntie Annie's (preferably with a melted cheese product cup)

And then other times I just need something cold and refreshing:
  • Ice cream!  My favorite flavors are Maine Black Bear and Moose Tracks but I'm not usually picky about flavors.  
  • Italian Ice
  • A Del's frozen lemonade
  • Pina Colada with lots of whipped cream!
  • Chocolate lasagna (layers of Oreo cookie crumbs, chocolate pudding, cool whip and chocolate chips)
  • McDonald's Mocha Frappe 


Perhaps making my snacking list an hour before dinner was not the best choice... I just made myself mighty hungry!  

How about you; is there one special snack you just can't live without?

    Many of these are indulgences for me these days. I have to eat pretty struck with my RA symptoms. Sounds like you know what you like. Now you made me hungry!

    Your list is making me hungry. I eat popcorn every night, without fail, usually with a small cup of M&Ms. Love my sweet and salty indulgences.

    And now I am hungry. I think I need a Mocha Frappe or that Oreo Lasagna to get through the day.

    Thanks for sharing on #FridayFrivolity

      I was thinking more along the lines of peanut butter bars tonight but thankfully we're fresh out of all sorts of sweets.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mainly through

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll. Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the white

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my boys were youn
