Treats

What food do you treat yourself with when you want a reward or you've had a bad day?

I buy one of those really cheap frozen Stouffer's Macaroni and Cheese packets and eat the whole thing myself in front of a movie.

I only do it once or twice a year, though.

LOL. When i feel down i head to chocolate. It has something in it that relaxes me. I have a canbury bar in the fridge. The dark chocolate one because i heard the dark chocolate is really good for you with antioxidants lol. So i tell myself i am helping my body when i take a small piece lol.

palefrost, I am with you 100%. Nothing perks me up like some dark chocolate, and it really doesn't matter in what form. I'm such a junkie.

Here's another vote for chocolate. I like the speciality, imported kind as a treat. I'm crazy for Lindt's liquid fillings. I also like nuts as a treat, pistachios, macadamias or pine nuts.

I'm not too big of chocolate really. I mean, I won't turn it down... but its not really my thing. I'm a cheese freak. Some quality cheese on crackers would be my treat of choice.

Chocolate will do it for me most of the time, but I like my starches like Melos. Mac and cheese is one of the great comfort foods ...along with chicken pot pie, pizza or things like that. When it gets down to it, it mostly involves something that you don't have to work too hard to make either lol.

It only works with cakes for me, usually with chocolate and fruits (a mix of dark chocolate and orange is a deadly one, named in my neck of the woods Mini Cappucin) or with custard cream and fruits.

I love chocolate, but my favorite thing that perks me up is cheese cake. I could sit down and eat the whole thing. So I try not too have it in the house very often.

Crystalized ginger, roasted cacao nibs, cardamom seeds, vegetarian hopping john (a beans and rice dish made with black-eyed peas with several other items [I can link to the recipe I posted on IF if anybody's interested

]), most vegetables, rice, potatoes, most fruit, super-sharp/aged cheddar, pasta, kasha (buckwheat groats)... I'll have to think a bit more about stuff I define as "comfort food".
