    I'm feeling under the weather right now and I want grilled cheese & ginger ale. Not with gross American "cheese". Two thick cut slices of sourdough with Swiss, Provolone, and Dijon mustard inside and grilled with yummy butter.

    What are you craving? Food porn photos get bonus points.


    I'd demolish a family-sized bag of Salt and Vinegar Lay's potato chips. At least until my tongue was raw.

    Yus. So much yes. This is exactly it for me. I'm not even allowed to buy them unless I'm having a party 😅

    Or sharp Cheddar cheese

    Chips are a "mood food" for me. Most of the time I am indifferent, but when I am in the mood for chips or other salty snacks I will demolish a bag.

    Are there cinnamon Thins??? I just tried the coconut ones and they are quite nice. I haven't found one flavor of the Thins that wasn't yummy.

    So what's with the thin cookie craze? Are they lower in calories? I rarely eat cookies, so I never venture down that aisle in the grocery.

    The thins are generally lower in calories and crisper. I've only had the Oreo thins, and instead of 2 cookies for @ 150 cals, it's 4. I'm sure it's probably around the same amount of actual product, but it's spread out so you you feel like you're eating more. And as far as the Oreos, I like the ratio better - more cookie, less cream. Honestly though, I think it's just marketing - New! Different! Try them all!

    Well, they are techically lower in calories per cookie, yes. I supose that's thier marketing allure. BUT their thinner and crispier nature makes them way easier to shovel into ones face en-masse, there by negating any calories saved. lol.

    I would maybe be on board if they were the same thin cookie, but with double stuffed filling. I am not a big fan of the cookie portion, it is just a carrier for the cream filling.

    They are lower in calories, but I like them because of the crunch. I don't like the texture of chewy or thick store bought cookies.

    Oreo needs to just release a jar of the cream. Has Nabisco ever did something like this? If not they need to get on the ball.

    Still haven't opened the box of White Fudge Oreos yet.

    I still have to get through the Rocky Road (not bad) & Peppermint Bark (pretty decent too).

    They don't make this anymore but it was my favorite ice cream of all time. One day, it just disappeared out of the grocery stores and never returned. So So good!

    I usually do too. And I avoid baking any until this time of year for this very reason. I dont moderate cookies very well. Especially oreos, and especially home baked cookies. I bought those dang oreos to cover in chocolate and give as gifts... And I got into them pretty hard yesterday. Oh well, christmas only comes once a year.. Right? *cough*.

    Here's the family favorite I make every year. I'm putting off until I have to haha. I know I'll eat 'em and I'm trying to enjoy the food and festivities without gaining TOO much this month... This will probably result in a harried baking frenzy about two weeks from now. :sweat_smile:

    Oddly, I would be super happy with Oreo's "forgot the stuffing" cookies... I'm one of those weirdos who likes to take them apart and eat the filling so I can eat the cookie by itself. The cream filling is just a binding device for the good part. :lol:
