What do you eat when you need to but want nothing?

[IrishEyes]

Nothing sounds good, nothing looks good but you know if you don't it's not going to fare well

 

[That Lady in PA]

soup

Toast and cold cereal.

 

[Murrmurr]

Good question. I haven't had an appetite for food for about 2 years.

I usually have a peanut butter sandwich. Sometimes with jam; usually not.
If there are dinner leftovers, I'll warm up a little of that.
If there's fruit, I'll eat some.
And sometimes I'll make myself a bowl of oatmeal.

 

[MACKTEXAS]

I can't tell you how often that happens to me in the evenings because I'm not hungry then, but if I eat nothing, I wake up hungry in the middle of the night.

I always have cottage cheese and peanut butter on hand I can have with crackers. Also, I have cookies and ice cream. Any of those will do now and then. I wouldn't make a regular practice of just that. Sometimes, I scramble 2 eggs and have with toast and jam.

 

[WOLF ANGEL]

Crusty bread with creamy butter - it acts as a chewing remedy

 

[Cornhusker]

Usually crackers or a piece of cheese

 

[Fritz]

toast or a sandwich

 

[Oldeagle66]

Peanut butter and jelly
Ritz crackers
Pork Rinds
Not all at once.....lol

 

[jujube]

I always have some hard salami on hand. It's so tasty and there's never a time I don't want to nibble a slice. Even when I stand in front of the open refrigerator and moan, "THERE'S NOTHING TO EAT IN THIS HOUSE!", I remember there's always the salami.
In fact, I'm going to go get a slice RIGHT NOW!

 

[IrishEyes]

All of you have some great remedies going, I have this digestive issue going with my body
and you made me realize all the good things I can't eat, no wonder nothing looks good: I can't eat most of it!
I had to settle on grapes for now, soup would have good but none in the cabinet.

I know how ya feel. I recently had a feeding tube removed.

Now that those who can eat normal stuff know where to look if this hits them any time soon

 

[Sliverfox]

This Summer its been hard for me to eat in the evenings.

Soup chicken noodle, or tomato soup that gets a bit of cream or milk added.
Sandwich, toast fold over slice of cheese or peanut butter & peach jam sandwich.

We have been making ice cream. end up making too much ourselves.
Left over ice cream is put into freezer container,, which is put in the freezer part of the fridge.

I will take out the frozen ice cream. always vanilla, dig out enough to make a milk shake.
Ginger Ale with some fruit make a tasty shake.

Just 3 ingredients (And they're fantastic):

• Potatoes
• Olive Oil
• Sea Salt

 

[Aunt Bea]

Sometimes I nuke a bag of frozen mixed vegetables, seasoned with S&P and pat of butter.

A can of stewed tomatoes or soup, a bowl of cereal, eggs and toast.

I can always come up with something.

If I’m sick a glass of ice cold eggnog is a good way to get some protein.

Eggnog for one
1 large egg
1 teaspoon to a tablespoon sugar or sugar substitute
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
8 ounces milk, half and half, or a combination of the two
1 dash of nutmeg

Buzz in the blender and serve.

 

[Babs2u]

Cheese and crackers.

 

[Jackie23]

This happens to me a lot lately and I'll usually have toast or 2 crackers with cheese or peanut butter with half a cup of milk.

 

[Aunt Bea]

These little 7oz microwaveable soup cups from Campbell’s are a bit spendy but very handy to have on the emergency shelf.

I’ve had the comfortable/predictable old favorites, creamy tomato and chicken noodle.

 

[MACKTEXAS]

Eggnog for one
1 large egg

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Thanks for this. I didn't know eggnog was so easily made. I usually buy some when stores put it out as we get closer to the holidays. One ice cream / dairy store here has eggnog flavored ice cream. It's similar to vanilla, but much richer tasting. But then again, it's only available during the holidays.

I could drink this all year long. My store stopped selling it 365 days a year just recently. Thanks

 

[Flarbalard]

Left over store bought garlic herb croutons, milk and sugar make a pretty good substitute for cereal. Honestly, it was better than most commercial cereal. I can usually figure something out, one way or another.

 

[Marcy Sheiner]

cheese & crackers

I can do the veggies for sure. I need to pick up more. Been catering too much to
hubby's wants and forgetting myself on the grocery list. Writing it down right now

Vanilla protein shake (11 oz)
