You know those days when you’re just in your feelings? When you need something to make you pick yourself up for a little? Plop yourself down on the couch with a feel good movie. Maybe a good cry? Or a lot of sighing? Some comfy pajamas and a blanket?
Everyone has their favorite little snacks and things that make them feel better. Maybe you are like me and you even have a few? The right snack, even the right drink can really complete that evening. Here are just a few of my favorite favorites!
Cookie dough:
Yes raw! Raw cookie dough! I know, I know… Half of you are thinking “Gross!” but this is about MY favorites, not yours :). I like a lot of different kinds: white chocolate macadamia, oatmeal raisin, sugar cookie. I think the only one I don’t like is chocolate chip. This is comforting to me and has been since I was a kid.
Chocolate covered bananas:
This is something I started doing when I moved to another state. I had gained a lot of weight and it was the one thing that I allowed myself to have as a treat. So every night I would turn on Criminal Minds and eat my frozen chocolate covered banana pieces.
Beef Jerky:
However, not just any ol’ beef jerky. The huge strip of it that you can only buy in certain places. Hard to tear, and almost anyone who eats it looks like a cow chewing. I know, great visual right? Well, that “snack” is something my Uncle Phil used to get me every time I saw him. We would ride in his old red pick up and go get some beef jerky in Ramona, past the cow farm. (As an adult, I realize how sad that is). When I got older, I saw him less. If I was sad, he would come get me and take me all the way there to get some beef jerky.
These are just a few of the MANY snack etc. that I enjoy. They are all my favorites for nostalgic reasons, but faves nonetheless. I’d love to hear and maybe even try some of your favorites! Let me know what they are!
