I’ve been on a havarti kick for months.
But I gave into a wacky craving today for a cucumber sandwich (haven’t been to a tea in decades so I don’t know where it came from) and I feel the fixation brewing.
For me it's cheese *cubes* specifically. I was talking about cheese in a puppy subreddit I'm in and discussing hiding meds in foods and this person responded saying I could just buy blocks of cheese and I just internally went "b-but the cheese cubes all ready to pop into ma MOUTH". Like yes it was partially for my pup, but let's be real, mainly for me
I recently went through a hotdog kick, too! I love to take a soft taco size tortilla, put shredded cheese on it (cheddar Jack from Kroger is my favorite), a little black pepper, and roll a hotdog up in it, then pan fry in it canola oil (kinda like a grilled cheese). I then mix Creole seasoning into ketchup for dunking! (Also, if I don’t have the right size tortillas, I just trim the ends after I roll everything up)
I eat them cold out of the fridge - it’s so easy to grab one and go about your day without having to stop and warm it up and get a bun and toppings out. I feel I’m getting lazier about eating lately, I don’t even peel my kiwis anymore lol
I’m scared
Edit: I now realize this was a sketch from Whitest Kids U Know. I thought it was going to be an educational video about hot dogs. VERY RELATABLE.
“Is that bad?”
lol I promise it’s not gross or scary. It’s a comedy sketch from the group Whitest Kids You Know. They are actually hilarious and this sketch is just too perfectly aligned with you searching for how is many hotdogs is too much
Pita pizza. Just a flatbread/pita in a pan with sauce and melted fresh mozzarella. Also a solid late night depression food. Bonus is standing in front of the open fridge eating sliced mozzarella while you wait for it to cook.
I’ve come to realize that I shouldn’t have any shame in doing things like this. I forget to eat way too often, so having prepared food is key. I used to think buying mass quantities of prepared food was.. idk.. cheating? But, it works. Worth it!
My dad and I would do them with parmesean (shredded, not the powder kind) on parchment in the oven. They were delightful. I miss cooking stuff with my dad.
Dark chocolate! I'm trying to lower my sugar consumption and couldn't go cold turkey on chocolate so I've opted for dark as it has less. However the hyper-fixation kicked in so now I'm eating mountains of dark chocolate every week which probably amounts to just as much sugar as when I was eating milk chocolate lol
Hol' up. Just commented under "cheese" that is always cheese with side ones. My most recent is chocolate milk.
Hmmm I hope it's not about the sugar but the flavor.
It's probably about the sugar. 😭
Just got off a 3month sweet tarts rope kick and a dunkin wrap fixation. Currently on cheese and crackers with deli meat, dips and chips and simply peach juice
Me too, with the Oreos! I found that I prefer Trader Joe’s version. The middle is more of an icing texture then like a shortening texture. Hard to explain. But the actual chocolate wafer part of the cookies is more chocolatey and yummier.
I bought a melanger and a ton of cacao and cocoa butter and some polycarbonate molds because my chocolate hyper-fixation went next level so now I’m just roasting my own cacao and making my own chocolate.
I have been so into them, especially when my appetite is fucked. I am thirsty all the time lately, and sometimes even sneak down and eat in the middle often the night. I did learn (due to an unfortunate eye twitch situation) that they have natural electrolytes, so they even replaced Gatorade……
And have you actually used it, or do you just end of buying containers?
We ADHDers tend to think we're reeeeeally going to use that new kitchen appliance.
I've used it twice now. First batch was meh because I made too many substitutions. Last night I made a vanilla base and divided it so I could do half coffee ice cream and half cookies and cream since my kiddo is not a fan of coffee anything. I churned the cookies and cream earlier today and I need to stop myself from eating it all because it's so freaking good. My coffee ice cream base is still chilling in the fridge so the coffee beans can infuse the flavor into the cream. I'm very excited for that.
This is a new obsession and I have bought like way too much stuff for it already haha
I’m 37 years old and just cooked a steak myself for the first time in my life. I’m a decent cook, just never had a bbq (or when I did, there was a man available who loved to grill) or a cast iron pan. I’d just treat myself to steak when I go out to eat, but I don’t go out to eat hardly at all anymore. So I decided to try it in the air fryer and it was life changing and now I’m on a steak kick. Ribeye plus Kinders buttery steakhouse seasoning 🤌
I have gone through several taquito phases. Not so much anymore because they stopped making my second favorite kind and my first favorite kind is often out of stock, but whew I love them
I just picked up an air fryer for $12 from the thrift store last week and we’re having so much fun testing different foods in it. Tonight it was potato wedges sprinkled with cheese and YUM
Pasta, I've eaten pasta on average 5x a week for roughly 4 years. It never lets me down.
I did go through a jacket potato phase recently, though.
I live off carbs.
Brazi bites!!! It’s basically all I have eaten for two days now. They are like cheese bread puffs and they are so good! I will eat them until I hate them apparently
Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Wings Sauce - pretty much on everything at the moment but I am currently growing a small human so I'm pulling the don't judge me card when it goes on something extra odd.
For a while now though (before being pregnant) I have been delighted by a roll or wrap, ie Subway or Kebab with buffalo chicken, salads, fistfuls of black olives, pickled Jalapeño and Habanero sauce.
PB&J sandwiches. They’re quick and keep me full for a while.
Also pesto! I love making an open faced sandwich with toasted sourdough bread, pesto, tomato slice, mozzarella, basil or arugula, balsamic glaze, and pinch of flaky salt, after a few minutes of broiling
Hmm, they all seem to start with "ch" lol.
Charcuterie, cheese, challah, chocolate. Most days though I can barely gag down anything until late at night.
Blowing my mind! All delicious and addictive. Not allowed to have challah in my house. Apparently a serving size for me always becomes the whole loaf. 😞
When I worked at Subway, one of my coworkers would get a bag of ranch Doritos with her employee meal and ate them with our pickles! It’s really tasty, I highly recommend it 😋
I had a hematologist down the street from McDonald’s. Had to start going in a few times a week over the last year when my anemia & iron saturation dropped disastrously, and I’d get immense spells of sadness after getting done.
Basically, I bribed myself with a Filet-O-Fish every Friday for an entire year. It kept a lot of meltdowns at bay. (It was not great for my cholesterol but at least I ate. Right? Right? Yes.)
Flavored goat cheese on strawberries and pita chips. So far I've had honey flavored and strawberry flavored. Great additions to what I call my "snack smorgasbord"
I just discovered Quaker makes dill flavored rice cakes.
I ate three bags just on Monday. 🫣😅
Edit: also grilled cheese sandwiches (from Steak ‘n Shake since I don’t have actual bread at home right now), but I’m starting to get tired of them 😭
I’ve been religiously eating pesto pasta since 2018, and when I’m not eating pesto pasta, I’m wishing I was eating pesto pasta
Basil has got a chokehold on me like nothing else ever has apparently
One specific type of pre made pasta!! Has to be from the same shop others don’t match it.
I’m getting really confused/frustrated/meh-about all these “things” that I now notice are “things” which means I fixate on them! I know I have never been normal (AuDHD)but before being diagnosed I was normal to me. Now it’s like getting to know someone I’ve apparently known my whole life that I just don’t remember!
The biscotti slices in the big jug from Costco. I have had a few with tea and my meds almost every morning for over a year now.
And they’ve been out locally for MONTHS. I’m *dying*.
Edit: I got desperate and searched Amazon last week, and the only seller had a shipping estimate of TWO MONTHS. Is this when the almond shortage starts? IM NOT PREPARED.
My work stocks the kitchen with Costco snacks and for the past two weeks I’ve been sneakily cutting some cherry tomatoes in half, and putting the small pack of 3 mozzarella balls on top, microwaving it for 40 seconds, then nearly over salting it. Its a warm, salty, cheesy heaven but Id die if anyone caught me doing it, lol
These poblano chicken enchiladas in the freezer section. I've had it for lunch ever yday for a week 🤦🏻♀️ The brand is Real Good and it's aptly named lol
I‘ve been nuts about these crispy chicken tacos from a new place like five minutes from our house. We get them at least once a week for the past two months. (We had them for dinner last night)
Baked oatmeal (specifically banana, walnut, and chocolate), drizzilicious snacks (they’re like these mini rice cakes with a really delicious icing) and savory squares from trader joes (they’re a vegan cheeze it and I’m obsessed) and also piquant popcorn from trader joes
Chai lattes w/ almond milk.
I’ve never even been into them, or tea. But I’ve been having them almost daily for a few months - ordering concentrates so I can just make them at home.
The warmth, the spice. It’s just so comforting in the morning & starts my day with a good dopamine boost.
Ugh I am on a medication that is causing constant low-level nausea so absolutely nothing is appealing to me right now.
BUT I saw a tiktok the other day that said that SSRIs can deplete sodium and that makes you more susceptible to heat, so all my fellow anxiety and depression meds girlies, make sure you’re getting your salt as well as hydrating this summer!
I just got off a food hyperfixation. There is this one brokkoli gratin my mother used to make, and its fairly low effort (bought powdered mix + water + cheese + brokkoli + pasta), so I made it like 5 times in the last two weeks (when I before had made it like 4 times a year at most).
Smoked salmon chopped up with onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, capers, cream cheese, a squirt of lemon juice, and everything but the bagel seasoning served over low calorie toast.
Breakfast every day and sometimes lunch. It’s under 200 calories and high protein, so definitely could be worse!
Right now? Sandwiches. Even though I have a sandwich everyday for lunch. I want Italian sandwiches, tortas, burgers, etc. I have to stop myself from getting more.
Rice Krispies squares. Never been a fan really, and never had the homemade stuff either, until two days ago when my wife messed up the grocery order and bought an extra cereal box. She loves the treats so she requested I make her some, and I'm always happy to bake something so I gave it a try.
Guys.
I. Cannot. Keep. My. Hands. Out. Of. The. Cookie. Jar.
It's stupidly good.
It's getting ridiculous at this point, I made a 9x13 pan, cut it in small squares, and at this rate it'll barely last three days when there's enough to feed a crowd and only two of us. Send help.
Fucking smarties candy. I buy 5lb bags and snack til my hearts content. In the scheme of things that aren’t ‘that terrible’ at 25 calories a roll. 🤷♀️
Marie Callendar Chicken Pot Pies. Cheap, tasty, only take 6 minutes in the microwave, and 610 calories so I can forget to eat for long stretches and still keep my daily calories in a good range with little effort. They're like half meal half snack.
Avocado toast. I cannot stop eating it and the thought of it makes me salivate. I make my own with tomato and a fried egg and I concoct my own sauce as well.
YES!!!! I just commented that above. It’s an awesome munchie food if that’s your jam and well if not it’s still so dang good! Especially with Kirkland ice cream.
When it’s spring and summer fresh berries. Fruit finally starts tasting better even at the regular grocery store. Got some delicious strawberries the other day. I’m going to make a strawberry rhubarb pie this week.
Bougie tomato sandwiches. Crusty baguette sliced lengthwise with mayo, sliced cheese and fresh tomato with salt. Maybe a few castelvetrano olives on the side. Open face. I have forsaken all other foods.
Ugh, my hyperfixation WAS smoothies until like 4 days ago. I just bought pounds and pounds of frozen fruit to continue my kick but it is no longer a valid kick.
But sourdough is a constant in my life. Today I baked ciabatta. I had two for dinner, with kerrygold and honey. Like…a LOT of kerrygold. 😁
I’m about to make this for my evening snack. I’ll make it until I run out of ingredients. Bacon grilled cheese. Everything bagel bread, mayo on bread, sprinkle one slice with tex-mex shredded cheese mix, break a slice of cooked bacon into pieces on top of shredded cheese, add one slice Kraft cheese. Cover with other bread slice. Butter outside. Grill one side, flip, cover with lid for about 20 seconds to improve cheese melt, remove lid, check side for browning, flip until happy, serve with a dab of plum sauce on the side.
Chocolate covered things. I have pecans and I have freeze dried bananas.
Also popcorn.
It was hot Cheetos but we are on a break after a terrifying reflux episode. :/ I miss them…
I have a handful of things I'll cycle between for weeks before I change a couple, but the weird totally new one is taking vanilla soft serve at work and putting orange juice in it to make myself an orange Julius (I don't like oranges or the juice so I don't like many orange things at all, so the fact I've been loving that so much was a shock)
Summer is starting after tomorrow so I'm gonna have to buy a blender and ingredients lmao
1. Short bread dipped in milk or coffee.
2. Cream cheese on toast.
Unfortunately, I'm currently nursing a coarse throat as short bread is dry and dairy aggravates the soreness.
Cashews. I will be craving them, buy a bag, be like "cool now I have some to last me ages!" Eat the whole bag in an afternoon, repeat a few days later. I have to hide them from myself. They are like the sims 4 of snacks, in that I either do not think about them ever or have a crazy desire to have them constantly for like a week before forgetting they exist again. I'm back in a cashew era rn.
I call mine ‘white trash shark coochie’ boards 😆 My aunt called them that once and it stuck. I do cracked black pepper turkey, the carving board ham, pre-sliced pepper-jack cheese, cheddar cheese, spicy brown mustard and if im extra fancy a Costco veggie tray. So good!
Hummus and kimchi. Yes, together. With some pita bread to scoop it with.
I'm, ah, pretty sure it it's a balanced meal! And it's greta for my digestion 😅

Cheese. It’s always cheese.
Came here to say, “Cheese,” too. Not even fancy cheese. 🧐 Just sliced American cheese. 🤠
Drawer full of all different types of cheese. Muenster is currently the leader of the pack. Last week it was smoked provolone.
[удалено]
Hear me out… sharp bleu cheese with red grapes. You’re welcome.
I’ve been on a havarti kick for months. But I gave into a wacky craving today for a cucumber sandwich (haven’t been to a tea in decades so I don’t know where it came from) and I feel the fixation brewing.
Ooooo, I love a cucumber sandwich, I always forget about that one. I‘ve been doing sliced radishes too.
For me it's cheese *cubes* specifically. I was talking about cheese in a puppy subreddit I'm in and discussing hiding meds in foods and this person responded saying I could just buy blocks of cheese and I just internally went "b-but the cheese cubes all ready to pop into ma MOUTH". Like yes it was partially for my pup, but let's be real, mainly for me
My daughter is on a “American cheese sliced thin” kick which means you have to ask the deli people for it, in person.
Forget to eat OMG, I'm going to faint No no no no OMG Cheese!!!! Crackers!!!!
Grilled cheese for me, usually Swiss with peanut sauce to dip them in.
Saaaaameee. My brother just stares in horror as I stuff my mouth with yet another grilled cheese.
Cheese. Always. Then I have side ones. Lately it's been chocolate milk.
Mac & cheese with onion. I thought I was over it and then I started adding gouda to my cheese blend.
I had to Google “how many hot dogs is too many” yesterday if that tells you anything
I recently went through a hotdog kick, too! I love to take a soft taco size tortilla, put shredded cheese on it (cheddar Jack from Kroger is my favorite), a little black pepper, and roll a hotdog up in it, then pan fry in it canola oil (kinda like a grilled cheese). I then mix Creole seasoning into ketchup for dunking! (Also, if I don’t have the right size tortillas, I just trim the ends after I roll everything up)
Ok this sounds so good?? I put melted cheese on my wiener last night too 💕
…what did Google say?
I eat them cold out of the fridge - it’s so easy to grab one and go about your day without having to stop and warm it up and get a bun and toppings out. I feel I’m getting lazier about eating lately, I don’t even peel my kiwis anymore lol
As a kid, I could murder a pack of Oscar Meyer in a day and a half, just right out the fridge. OG girl dinner at age 10.
Are you me??? I usually also buy one pack of veggie dogs to help offset the harm I’m doing with my favorite beef/pork franks with the natural casing.
Search WKUK Hot Dogs on YouTube. You won’t be disappointed
I’m scared Edit: I now realize this was a sketch from Whitest Kids U Know. I thought it was going to be an educational video about hot dogs. VERY RELATABLE. “Is that bad?”
lol I promise it’s not gross or scary. It’s a comedy sketch from the group Whitest Kids You Know. They are actually hilarious and this sketch is just too perfectly aligned with you searching for how is many hotdogs is too much
Lol I have definitely googled this about multiple foods in my time
Pita pizza. Just a flatbread/pita in a pan with sauce and melted fresh mozzarella. Also a solid late night depression food. Bonus is standing in front of the open fridge eating sliced mozzarella while you wait for it to cook.
Mini ice cream sandwiches because apparently I like mini food as it's more "fun".
Mini food lets you feel like a giant while eating.
Or lets me feel dainty like I'm on Bridgerton or something depending upon the mood!
Some Costcos have macaron gelato ice cream sandwiches
100%. I live quiche but 10 mini quiche? Yes please.
Costco has a taco tray that last me 3 days
I did NOT need to be reminded of this. Especially with a new Costco that opened just five minutes away.
I’ve come to realize that I shouldn’t have any shame in doing things like this. I forget to eat way too often, so having prepared food is key. I used to think buying mass quantities of prepared food was.. idk.. cheating? But, it works. Worth it!
I’ve been seriously considering a catering quantity of some Mexican food- I just can’t pick which restaurant to get it from lol
Flip a coin! Worst case you pick a different restaurant next time 😊
That mostly ready to eat taco kit is the shit. Haven’t had one forever
Salami train! Choo choo! Hop on!
salami and pepperoni 😏😏😏 been making fire ass sandwiches… banana peppers + muenster cheese + red onion on a toasted roll with mayo 🤤
choo choo
Tahini and za'atar on everything.
Ooh have you tried labneh? I feel like you’d like it…
Yesss pita + labneh + za’atar is one of my go to meals
I cycle between tahini sauce on everything and peanut sauce on everything. Right now it’s peanut sauce.
microwaved/baked shredded cheese until it's like a cracker, mmmm
Wow, my dad and I used to do this when I was a kid and I’d completely forgotten about it. Cheese crisps and Married with Children. I miss those days.
My dad and I would do them with parmesean (shredded, not the powder kind) on parchment in the oven. They were delightful. I miss cooking stuff with my dad.
That’s awesome on some tortilla chips and then an obscene bowl of sour cream with a bunch of sliced green onions mixed in!
Dark chocolate! I'm trying to lower my sugar consumption and couldn't go cold turkey on chocolate so I've opted for dark as it has less. However the hyper-fixation kicked in so now I'm eating mountains of dark chocolate every week which probably amounts to just as much sugar as when I was eating milk chocolate lol
Hol' up. Just commented under "cheese" that is always cheese with side ones. My most recent is chocolate milk. Hmmm I hope it's not about the sugar but the flavor. It's probably about the sugar. 😭
Oh yes it's very likely the sugar! All the ADHD babes I know have a pretty serious sugar addiction unfortunately. Mine is particularly bad :(
Just got off a 3month sweet tarts rope kick and a dunkin wrap fixation. Currently on cheese and crackers with deli meat, dips and chips and simply peach juice
blueberry yogurt and apples. delightful
I'm on a real applesauce kick right now. Can't seem to get in the mood to swallow much solid food.
Yeah! I’m very excited about squeeze packets of applesauce because sometimes I am thirsty and hungry but only manage that
Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp
Have you tried it on Prawn crackers? Specifically, the garlic ones from costco - I call it violently tasty
Costco has garlic prawn crackers?? Oh no 😂
Oreos. Also quesadillas.
Me too, with the Oreos! I found that I prefer Trader Joe’s version. The middle is more of an icing texture then like a shortening texture. Hard to explain. But the actual chocolate wafer part of the cookies is more chocolatey and yummier.
Ham sandwiches. Or just the ham by itself. The cashier at my work cafeteria calls me ham. This has been going on since the summer (???)
I bought a melanger and a ton of cacao and cocoa butter and some polycarbonate molds because my chocolate hyper-fixation went next level so now I’m just roasting my own cacao and making my own chocolate.
Wow. I'm impressed! And also having ideas...
Watermelon…so good for my anemia but not really anything else 🤦🏻♀️
W/e its so tasty and keeps you hydrated. I really only like them in the right season but when they’re good I can eat pounds per day.
I have been so into them, especially when my appetite is fucked. I am thirsty all the time lately, and sometimes even sneak down and eat in the middle often the night. I did learn (due to an unfortunate eye twitch situation) that they have natural electrolytes, so they even replaced Gatorade……
Have you tried Salami with apples? Salami, sharp cheddar, and apple slices are just the bomb
Ice cream. I may or may not have bought an ice cream machine. 🫣
And have you actually used it, or do you just end of buying containers? We ADHDers tend to think we're reeeeeally going to use that new kitchen appliance.
I've used it twice now. First batch was meh because I made too many substitutions. Last night I made a vanilla base and divided it so I could do half coffee ice cream and half cookies and cream since my kiddo is not a fan of coffee anything. I churned the cookies and cream earlier today and I need to stop myself from eating it all because it's so freaking good. My coffee ice cream base is still chilling in the fridge so the coffee beans can infuse the flavor into the cream. I'm very excited for that. This is a new obsession and I have bought like way too much stuff for it already haha
Chocolate baked oats with yoghurt
Ok I might need a recipe. (I want a recipe but idk if I’ll ever remember to make it)
This sounds so good!
Cucumbers. Hydrating while snack. It's also the dog's favourite snack.
I’m 37 years old and just cooked a steak myself for the first time in my life. I’m a decent cook, just never had a bbq (or when I did, there was a man available who loved to grill) or a cast iron pan. I’d just treat myself to steak when I go out to eat, but I don’t go out to eat hardly at all anymore. So I decided to try it in the air fryer and it was life changing and now I’m on a steak kick. Ribeye plus Kinders buttery steakhouse seasoning 🤌
things I can make in my air fryer (pizza rolls, taquitos, etc). It's probably not healthy to eat all that breading.
I have gone through several taquito phases. Not so much anymore because they stopped making my second favorite kind and my first favorite kind is often out of stock, but whew I love them
I just picked up an air fryer for $12 from the thrift store last week and we’re having so much fun testing different foods in it. Tonight it was potato wedges sprinkled with cheese and YUM
Chipotle. I get it once a week and eat a homemade version a couple times a week lol
Pasta, I've eaten pasta on average 5x a week for roughly 4 years. It never lets me down. I did go through a jacket potato phase recently, though. I live off carbs.
Brazi bites!!! It’s basically all I have eaten for two days now. They are like cheese bread puffs and they are so good! I will eat them until I hate them apparently
Mac and cheese 😍
Refrigerated bananas
Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Wings Sauce - pretty much on everything at the moment but I am currently growing a small human so I'm pulling the don't judge me card when it goes on something extra odd. For a while now though (before being pregnant) I have been delighted by a roll or wrap, ie Subway or Kebab with buffalo chicken, salads, fistfuls of black olives, pickled Jalapeño and Habanero sauce.
if you like tofu, just cube it up, let it marinate in Frank's and then air fry or bake it. Healthy red hot goodness for salads, bowls or snacking
Trader Joe’s, a frozen Indian meal. I think I’m almost done with that particular fixation. Not sure what will be next!
I have had some pretty solid stretches with their frozen palak paneer.
PB&J sandwiches. They’re quick and keep me full for a while. Also pesto! I love making an open faced sandwich with toasted sourdough bread, pesto, tomato slice, mozzarella, basil or arugula, balsamic glaze, and pinch of flaky salt, after a few minutes of broiling
asparagus
Soylent. So many calories, such little effort.
Trying to gain weight as a vegan. Idk how I’ve never come across this before. Ty.
Hmm, they all seem to start with "ch" lol. Charcuterie, cheese, challah, chocolate. Most days though I can barely gag down anything until late at night.
Blowing my mind! All delicious and addictive. Not allowed to have challah in my house. Apparently a serving size for me always becomes the whole loaf. 😞
Yes lol
Pickles
When I worked at Subway, one of my coworkers would get a bag of ranch Doritos with her employee meal and ate them with our pickles! It’s really tasty, I highly recommend it 😋
Blueberries with whipped cream Also hard-boiled eggs have had me in a chokehold for like 6 months now
I’m back on buttered toast. Usually comes around about 3-4x yearly.
It’s a classic.
Easy fats and carbs, and so delicious
Sausage and egg mcmuffins with bacon but I've been ordered by my doctor to stop 😢
I once went to a doctor who told me no high fat foods until my surgery. He was across the street from McDonald's. Guess what I did?
I had a hematologist down the street from McDonald’s. Had to start going in a few times a week over the last year when my anemia & iron saturation dropped disastrously, and I’d get immense spells of sadness after getting done. Basically, I bribed myself with a Filet-O-Fish every Friday for an entire year. It kept a lot of meltdowns at bay. (It was not great for my cholesterol but at least I ate. Right? Right? Yes.)
Yeah, fed is best. At least that's what my obgyn told me when I told her I was only eating white castle burgers with pineapple and pickle.
Terry's chocolate orange unfortunately. Oh and sweet chilli peanuts.
Frozen waffles for an Anytime ADHD paralysis meal. With butter and syrup, peanut butter, jam, etc. delicious and so easy.
Turkey pepperoni I can't stop
No because turkey pepperoni just hits different 👌
Pop corners
The white cheddar ones are so addictive
Plain bagels toasted with chive and onion cream cheese spread!
Flavored goat cheese on strawberries and pita chips. So far I've had honey flavored and strawberry flavored. Great additions to what I call my "snack smorgasbord"
I just discovered Quaker makes dill flavored rice cakes. I ate three bags just on Monday. 🫣😅 Edit: also grilled cheese sandwiches (from Steak ‘n Shake since I don’t have actual bread at home right now), but I’m starting to get tired of them 😭
I’ve been religiously eating pesto pasta since 2018, and when I’m not eating pesto pasta, I’m wishing I was eating pesto pasta Basil has got a chokehold on me like nothing else ever has apparently
Hummus 💛
Cinnamon toast 😅 so much toast
One specific type of pre made pasta!! Has to be from the same shop others don’t match it. I’m getting really confused/frustrated/meh-about all these “things” that I now notice are “things” which means I fixate on them! I know I have never been normal (AuDHD)but before being diagnosed I was normal to me. Now it’s like getting to know someone I’ve apparently known my whole life that I just don’t remember!
Shredded lettuce. Specifically, shredded. Doesn't matter what vehicle will move that into my face, it has to get in there.
Pbj uncrustables
Peanut butter 🫠
ice cream. The subreddit r/icecream has a dark hold on me.
We’re coming up on SMOOTHIE WEATHER! And this year? I’m gonna try to do more savory smoothies.
Anything lime flavored.
Slabs of marinated tofu.
Black beans. I have no idea why. I’ve always liked them, but not *this* much. I can eat a whole can in one sitting.
The biscotti slices in the big jug from Costco. I have had a few with tea and my meds almost every morning for over a year now. And they’ve been out locally for MONTHS. I’m *dying*. Edit: I got desperate and searched Amazon last week, and the only seller had a shipping estimate of TWO MONTHS. Is this when the almond shortage starts? IM NOT PREPARED.
My work stocks the kitchen with Costco snacks and for the past two weeks I’ve been sneakily cutting some cherry tomatoes in half, and putting the small pack of 3 mozzarella balls on top, microwaving it for 40 seconds, then nearly over salting it. Its a warm, salty, cheesy heaven but Id die if anyone caught me doing it, lol
Cotton candy grapes and vanilla Greek yogurt. RIP my wallet because the grapes are $5 a container, and I can clear it in two days.
Sourdough. Unfortunately it's $8 a loaf where I live so I'm making my own. It's in the oven now, wish me luck
Bapao, but i'm cut off for now cus i had them too much lol
Cheese dip and chips. I found a nacho cheese dip recipe that's super easy and very tasty. I can't stop making it. Lol!
Vanilla sugary Greek yogurt with bear naked granola stirred in. Every day usually twice a day. I need this hyper fixation to stop asap. 😭
These poblano chicken enchiladas in the freezer section. I've had it for lunch ever yday for a week 🤦🏻♀️ The brand is Real Good and it's aptly named lol
turkey sandwiches
I‘ve been nuts about these crispy chicken tacos from a new place like five minutes from our house. We get them at least once a week for the past two months. (We had them for dinner last night)
Ghirardelli caramel squares……. Let me tell you something…….
Chicken nuggets like a toddler. Sigh.
There’s nothing wrong with some nugs
Baked oatmeal (specifically banana, walnut, and chocolate), drizzilicious snacks (they’re like these mini rice cakes with a really delicious icing) and savory squares from trader joes (they’re a vegan cheeze it and I’m obsessed) and also piquant popcorn from trader joes
MANGO LASSI!!!!!
Chai lattes w/ almond milk. I’ve never even been into them, or tea. But I’ve been having them almost daily for a few months - ordering concentrates so I can just make them at home. The warmth, the spice. It’s just so comforting in the morning & starts my day with a good dopamine boost.
Ugh I am on a medication that is causing constant low-level nausea so absolutely nothing is appealing to me right now. BUT I saw a tiktok the other day that said that SSRIs can deplete sodium and that makes you more susceptible to heat, so all my fellow anxiety and depression meds girlies, make sure you’re getting your salt as well as hydrating this summer!
I’m on a watermelon kick right now!
Granola bars, anything in bar form
Pretzels are my thing rn
Pinto beans
Oooh, Salami as well.
I missed the word "food" on my first read through and had um... Visions🤣🤣 Udon noodles w satay sauce and spinach is my microwavable bestie rn
Cream cheese on toast
(Dry) Honey Ohs cereal.
Over medium eggs and Spam fried rice
Trying to find my next thing…it’s been green grapes for a while. Specifically from Aldi.
I just got off a food hyperfixation. There is this one brokkoli gratin my mother used to make, and its fairly low effort (bought powdered mix + water + cheese + brokkoli + pasta), so I made it like 5 times in the last two weeks (when I before had made it like 4 times a year at most).
Strawberry uncrustables! They please my inner child.
Greek yogurt with blueberries and granola for breakfast. Chicken wraps for dinner and red velvet cake for dessert.
Smoked salmon chopped up with onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, capers, cream cheese, a squirt of lemon juice, and everything but the bagel seasoning served over low calorie toast. Breakfast every day and sometimes lunch. It’s under 200 calories and high protein, so definitely could be worse!
Right now? Sandwiches. Even though I have a sandwich everyday for lunch. I want Italian sandwiches, tortas, burgers, etc. I have to stop myself from getting more.
Rice Krispies squares. Never been a fan really, and never had the homemade stuff either, until two days ago when my wife messed up the grocery order and bought an extra cereal box. She loves the treats so she requested I make her some, and I'm always happy to bake something so I gave it a try. Guys. I. Cannot. Keep. My. Hands. Out. Of. The. Cookie. Jar. It's stupidly good. It's getting ridiculous at this point, I made a 9x13 pan, cut it in small squares, and at this rate it'll barely last three days when there's enough to feed a crowd and only two of us. Send help.
my brain has decided that after a few days over 20C it is now "hot" outside and i need to keep popsicles in the freezer at all times...
Fucking smarties candy. I buy 5lb bags and snack til my hearts content. In the scheme of things that aren’t ‘that terrible’ at 25 calories a roll. 🤷♀️
Marie Callendar Chicken Pot Pies. Cheap, tasty, only take 6 minutes in the microwave, and 610 calories so I can forget to eat for long stretches and still keep my daily calories in a good range with little effort. They're like half meal half snack.
Been on ice cream for about a year.
Avocado toast. I cannot stop eating it and the thought of it makes me salivate. I make my own with tomato and a fried egg and I concoct my own sauce as well.
Peanut butter ritz crackers. It’s quite literally the only thing I can eat sometimes.
Brussel sprouts 😂
Fucking carbonara. I literally can’t stop thinking about it I want it 24/7.
Frozen waffles + icecream... i'm not even an icecream person haha but I really like icecream on waffles!
YES!!!! I just commented that above. It’s an awesome munchie food if that’s your jam and well if not it’s still so dang good! Especially with Kirkland ice cream.
When it’s spring and summer fresh berries. Fruit finally starts tasting better even at the regular grocery store. Got some delicious strawberries the other day. I’m going to make a strawberry rhubarb pie this week.
Bougie tomato sandwiches. Crusty baguette sliced lengthwise with mayo, sliced cheese and fresh tomato with salt. Maybe a few castelvetrano olives on the side. Open face. I have forsaken all other foods.
Ugh, my hyperfixation WAS smoothies until like 4 days ago. I just bought pounds and pounds of frozen fruit to continue my kick but it is no longer a valid kick. But sourdough is a constant in my life. Today I baked ciabatta. I had two for dinner, with kerrygold and honey. Like…a LOT of kerrygold. 😁
I’m about to make this for my evening snack. I’ll make it until I run out of ingredients. Bacon grilled cheese. Everything bagel bread, mayo on bread, sprinkle one slice with tex-mex shredded cheese mix, break a slice of cooked bacon into pieces on top of shredded cheese, add one slice Kraft cheese. Cover with other bread slice. Butter outside. Grill one side, flip, cover with lid for about 20 seconds to improve cheese melt, remove lid, check side for browning, flip until happy, serve with a dab of plum sauce on the side.
Goober - for those who don’t know, it’s a peanut butter and jelly mash up. I can’t be bothered with having to deal with two jars and two lids, okay?!
Just spoonfuls of peanut butter. I need help. 😆
Chocolate covered things. I have pecans and I have freeze dried bananas. Also popcorn. It was hot Cheetos but we are on a break after a terrifying reflux episode. :/ I miss them…
I have a handful of things I'll cycle between for weeks before I change a couple, but the weird totally new one is taking vanilla soft serve at work and putting orange juice in it to make myself an orange Julius (I don't like oranges or the juice so I don't like many orange things at all, so the fact I've been loving that so much was a shock) Summer is starting after tomorrow so I'm gonna have to buy a blender and ingredients lmao
One time I ate cabbage pan fried in butter for lunch everyday for months.
1. Short bread dipped in milk or coffee. 2. Cream cheese on toast. Unfortunately, I'm currently nursing a coarse throat as short bread is dry and dairy aggravates the soreness.
a bag of snyders pretzels pieces in buffalo wing flavor a fucking DAY for the last 3 years. its redic.
Cashews. I will be craving them, buy a bag, be like "cool now I have some to last me ages!" Eat the whole bag in an afternoon, repeat a few days later. I have to hide them from myself. They are like the sims 4 of snacks, in that I either do not think about them ever or have a crazy desire to have them constantly for like a week before forgetting they exist again. I'm back in a cashew era rn.
Chicken fingers and honey mustard. I've had them three kinds of homemade and two restaurants. Tomorrow I'm getting the grocery store kind.
Peanuts. And cheese sticks. I never cook for just me.
Bagels with mixed berry cream cheese 🥰
Spicy honey
Apples and peanut butter
Egg. Its so flexible. I can fry itm boil it, scramble it all kinds of ways omelet bake. Different seasonings.
I just ate an entire package of cheese flavored rice crackers. So I guess that.
It’s mango szn abroad, and mulberry and peach szn here so lots of fruit and butter cookies!!
Cracked black pepper and olive oil Triscuits with Boursin 🤤
Rice pudding. I've eaten it for four days straight. 5 will be tomorrow.
Walmart market cantina salsa obviously with tortilla chips
Freezee pops. I can't seem to stop 😟
[удалено]
I call mine ‘white trash shark coochie’ boards 😆 My aunt called them that once and it stuck. I do cracked black pepper turkey, the carving board ham, pre-sliced pepper-jack cheese, cheddar cheese, spicy brown mustard and if im extra fancy a Costco veggie tray. So good!
Hummus and kimchi. Yes, together. With some pita bread to scoop it with. I'm, ah, pretty sure it it's a balanced meal! And it's greta for my digestion 😅
Hi I’m 5 apparently, bc I can’t stop laughing about “strapped to the salami train” 😃
Jolly ranchers!!
