Embarrassing Anti-Gourmet Snack Habits
I asked someone what quince was the other day, and received a look of malice and disrespect. These days it's not cool to be clueless in the kitchen, but no matter how much I love to cook and dine, I'll never be able to kick these lame snack cravings. What are yours?
Thanks to Trader Joe’s Baked Cheese Puffs (which taste exactly like Cheetos), I no longer have to feel socially ostricized when I have orange fingers.
I’ll eat your pesto asparagus cornbread-encrusted chicken apple sausage on a stick anyday, but every now and then, there’s no other way to calm my cravings than a good old fashioned chilidog.
FROZEN DINNERS
One of my apartments didn’t have a stove, for a year- so I got really used to eating microwavable meals.
Skippy Peanut Butter
I could eat a whole jar of Skippy peanut butter in one day. Off of a knife. And I would be the happiest person in the world. I know it’s probably the cheapest, most processed peanut butter you can get, but I don’t care. I love it just the way it is.

The Skinny Cow
Aw, come on! How can you forget “The Skinny Cow” Low Fat Ice Cream Sandwich??? (97% Fat Free, 140 Calories per serving, 3g Fiber, 0g Trans Fat.) At this rate you can have at least three and come out ahead!
I know the tuna sandwich is the most offensive lunch in the cafeteria, but whenever no one’s around, I get one.
I’m so glad the Christmas party I went to on Saturday featured a prosciutto, date and gorgonzola pizza, but sometimes (in the middle of the night), all I want is one of these…
Something about the freeze-dried space-food-esque peanuts, and nitrate-flavored red filling just gets me where it counts.

What's Better Than Peanut Butter?
Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips! OK, ok, ok. These are so delicious!! SO delicious. I know that you are probably supposed to use them in baking something – perhaps AliciaK can help me out here – but I eat them by the handful!! So good when they touch the lips!!
Croutons
Great on salads, but even better right out of the box.
Oatmeal Cream Pies
I totally typed “Oatmeal Crime Pies,” which I think they should change the name to. This kid IS killing this delectable oatmeal cream pie…. Last time I went into a deli with someone to get a 40, I got soooooo excited when I saw these at the counter. I bought one and loved it.
