Lately it's been anything that's not nailed down, need to get a handle on that and get back on track!!!0

Gin :-)
^^ yes! lol
Usually tho, I tend to cook something comforting for dinner rather than snack. Once I start to snack when stressed I tend to keep going back, so I give myself a comfort meal instead.0 -
Popcorn, with salt but no butter. Unfortunately, it tends to be in large quantities.
So if you see ten cups of popcorn (my bowl) on my diary, I was probably grouchy. :P0 -
My strawberry vi shake
So delicious, and doesn't put me off my calories, but gives me great nutrition!

Poor man's pizza
1 quesidilla (spinach is best with the least calories they also have low carb ones)
1/4th cup of cheese (fat free)
green onion to taste
diced tomatoes
(sometimes bacon or ham)
1 min in microwave
fold in half cut into wedges and dip in fat free ranch or plain
less than 250 calories depending on what you use for fillings and dips. Filling, fast, and cheesy!0 -
Brownies, but now that I'm trying to be healthier I usually grab some sort of spiced chai tea0

Gin :-)
Haha! Yes, or vodka!
Usually it's whole wheat mac and cheese, though.0 -
Reduced fat cheddar cheese.0

Ice cream...I can't just have a 1/2 a cup...so I don't buy it very often!!0

I guess I'm still looking for the healthy go to food. I'm still running to the sweet, the fried, and the fattening. :P Good thing I don't keep much of that in the house.0
