Pawz4me Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I have beef stew in the crock pot and will make either rolls or cornbread to go with it for dinner. But we also have lots of snackies--chips, cheese and crackers, sweets. So far I've abstained, but the Chex snack mix has already been singing its siren song to me. I'm gonna try to be a good girl and go fix a bowl of bean soup to (try to) drown it out. 😉 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Jessica* Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 All I want is Doritos, but I can’t eat the regular ones because of food dyes and the store is out of organic white cheddar Doritos. ☹️ I think I’ll roast broccoli with bacon instead. Everyone else can fend for themselves, or fight me for the broccoli w/ bacon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA: You could probably peel first with similar results, but this takes less time. If you have huge monster organic sweet potatoes from Costco, cook time is 45 minutes, or you need to cut them into smaller pieces. Also, for me, they only keep in the fridge and taste "right" for three days. You can't cook a week's worth at a time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for this thread--it reminds me that I need to get my bread rising! Me too, with veggies and potatoes from the garden. I'm stress eating pretty much everything that isn't nailed down, between phonebanking and manic house cleaning. After my first course of reese's cups, half a bagel with an egg, celery, salty almonds, fried celeriac, and spicy cheese, I've moved on to wasabi peas. They're perfect, because there's a slight dis-incentive to keep eating them as they get spicier the more you eat them. It snowed 4 inches here this morning, so tonight we'll have a bonfire, beef stew, Swiss chocolate that DD managed to grab on her way out of the country, and wine. Plus anything else that doesn't get eaten before dark. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spryte Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Eating everything, absolutely everything. I had cold, leftover GF pizza for breakfast, because it was there. Now I have my own private board of kalamata olives, Sartori merlot cheese and charcuterie. No one else may touch it. It’s to keep my hands out of the Halloween candy. DH is making salmon and sautéed red peppers and onions for dinner (a la some tv chef, and they are amazing), and now I’m planning to roast broccoli and bacon to go with it. Yum!

marbel Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I am working tonight - from home, so I won't be in face-to-face contact with people, but still I wonder how moods will be. I have popcorn, and celery sticks with cheese ready for munching. (Un)fortunately there is no candy in the house. I think some cookies though. I'd have a hot toddy sort of thing if it wasn't for having to work! Hot tea probably later in the evening. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
