Favorite SNACKS?? The " gotta have 'em " craving things???

 

Oh, it HAS to be: deep fried, cream cheese stuffed jalapeno peppers! I get

them in a bag from Schwann's or buy them in a box from the store...or get in the

car and drive thru

an Arby's for 5 little bitty ones! I fight the craving for them most of the

time, but recently,

the Schwann's guy came by and I just HAD to buy a bag for the freezer!

 

Ditto, lately, for those wedge-shaped seasoned chunky fried potatoes!

Three or four times in the past month and a half, I have either jumped in the

car to get them myself,

stopped on the way home from somewhere or sent my loving, sweet DH out to

procure them--from KFC's drive-thru, the only place in town, other than

occasionally from the

Wal-Mart deli, that they are available. So, when the Schwann guy came the other

evening

and had the cheese-peppers on his truck, I added a bag of frozen " wedge "

potatoes with

spices and skins. Now I have to restrain myself from wanting to bake them every

night!

 

At least when I have the stuff in the freezer, I have to do the " work " of

baking them...so

I'm less apt to impulsively GRAB for them!

 

It's WINTER here now...for some reason, all kinds of starchy, fatty and

spicy foods

sound SO good and enticing right now!! I did my exercise today and (so far)

every day

this week--walked outdoors and then went to the " Y " to work out on machines..

It may

be a losing battle to fight my winter-time cravings for potatoes and fried

peppers with

cheese inside! I try to limit it a little, anyway! LOL!

PS: If you are asking what our " HOLIDAY " favorite " snacks " are, well, I guess we

don't

make too many things JUST for holidays...DH and I both like spiced hot cider (or

cold

cider, in fact), and it's readily available around here. I found a CHOCOLATE

flavored

herbal tea that has a lot of promise--I love things that are sweet and

" cozy-warm " , like

hot chocolate and such. That's good to have and sit near a fire (fake gas

fireplace, but

it's warm, anyway!) and read or watch some TV in the evenings that are dark by 3

PM!
