Are you totally addicted to any snacks? I am.

[Ruthanne]

Seems I have to have crunchy foods at times--I used to love potato chips but have switched to sweet potato chips and whole grain Cheeze-It's! Sometimes I do better and have sticks of celery, too.

 

[MarciKS]

whole grain cheez-its? i didn't know those existed. now i'm gonna hafta see. lol!

i love sweet potato chips!

 

[RadishRose]

what can i say? i like my ice cream. lol!

When I craved ice cream, it ws always at night. Never in the day. But I sadly discovered laying down after eating ice cream causes the worst acid reflux you can ever imagine ! Strange, I know.

 

[MarciKS]

i never had that issue Radish. i finally ate enough ice cream to discover i am slightly lactose intolerant.

Eating anything tomato at night wreaks havoc on me as far as acid goes.

Great Value Omega 3 trail mix which has dried cranberries, pepitas, walnuts, almonds, pecans & pistachios mixed with Lance gluten free cheese crackers. I open a individual size packet of each and mix together. Completely addicted.

 

[MarciKS]

what's a pepita?

 

[AnnieA]

what's a pepita?

A type of pumpkin seed. They're green and a little bit smaller than regular pumpkin seeds.

 

[MarciKS]

hmm...never heard of them.

They sound delicious! I put dried pumpkin seeds in salads... so yummy!

 

[MarciKS]

are pumpkin seeds hard to chew? they look like they would be.

 

[AnnieA]

I hadn't either until I bought this trail mix.

I've only ever eaten the big ones toasted and they're kind of like a toasted nut. Pepitas in this trail mix don't seem to be toasted and they're tender in texture.

The dried ones I use for salads, not even the slightest, much the same as a sunflower seed.

 

[MarciKS]

i've seen people eat pumpkin seeds like by themselves. i always wondered. it's not like you can walk up to a stranger and ask if you can try one of their pumpkin seeds. at least not without looking a little psycho.

They're good, so don't be afraid to try them, and they're EXTRA good in salads!

OMG, I haven't tried the wasabi version yet, but I will be now! Thanks for the mention, Annie!

Your avatar has pink hair, @MarciKS for Pete's sake! Live on the wild side and try some wasabi roasted pumpkin seeds. Get them at Whole Foods in the bulk area if they're still doing that these days with C19.

Pumpkins seeds are easy to chew and delicious.

Wasabi definitely packs a wallop.

 

[MarciKS]

yeah well then i can't have it. maybe i can get some and season and roast them to my own liking at home.

I love pure bitter licorice, but have to be careful and pace myself as it is dangerous for your blood pressure. Doctors advise no more than and ounce a day and even that is dubious. I only have a few small pieces a couple of times a week. A one ounce box lasts me a month.
