Anything with cinnamon :(

I like it on ice cream, in meats, etc., but the bf hates it!

Where to eat near I-25 (Trinidad/Colorado Springs/Denver)?

Pueblo is known for their Mexican green chili, but that's about as much as I can tell you. Don't bother with downtown Pueblo, although Angelo's has good pizza.

Video and Recipe: The Colbert Bump, Stephen Colbert's Signature Cocktail

I believe the "good ol' Republican gin" used in the Colbert bump is Brave Spirits Standing Guard Gin. It's not necessarily Republican but it is 100% American made and supports the men and women who serve our country. $2 from every bottle sold is donated to charities that support the men and women who serve. The bottle is shaped like a soldier standing at attention, which caught my eye in the piece above. Check out www.bravespirits.com for more information and to order online. CHEERS!!

'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'

Before my little baby was born and my husband traveled a lot for work, I would often have scrambled eggs and some kind of whole-grain toast (or "eggs in the hole," where you cut a little circle out of the bread and fry an egg in it, yum). Or oatmeal with a spoonful of peanut butter in it. Or PB&J. Or a slice of veggie pizza with lots of crushed red pepper on top. Or Annie's frozen tofu lasagna. Or whatever frozen meal looked good that day from Trader Joe's. And, of course, I would have to scrounge for something sweet from my stash of baking supplies, like chocolate chips!

At home alone - it's steamed veggies, baked potato and simple salad with tomatos and crutons.
Eatting out alone - it's my favorite greasy taco shop for 2 beef tacos sometimes 3-rolled tacos too OR it's a NewYork style pizza with sausage, onions, mushrooms, olives, fresh garlic and pineapple pieces yes pineapple. This hits the sweet, salty, spicey and sour tastes buds for me.

I usually cook real meals for myself, but because I never have "snack foods" around, when I am hungry (or having a sweet tooth) and don't want to do any work at all - I eat a big spoonful of peanut butter mixed with a little less honey. mmmm......

I tend to make dishes that taste good to me but makes the rest of my family gag:

A fried egg mixed with steamed white rice and a teaspoon of Hellman's mayonnaise.

Spaghetti sauteed in olive oil, chopped garlic, anchovies, and crushed red peppers.

Sardines with mustard, rice vinegar, and hot sauce.

Fried liver and caramelized onions in a balsamic sauce.

Hot dogs and Peanut Butter. This was a trick I learned in the Navy as part of the World Famous VA-165 Boomers while on cruise aboard the USS Nimitz CVN 68.

While working the flight deck during flight ops there was not a lot of time to eat. You may have had 10 - 15 minutes and the chow line was at least 30 - 40 minutes long. So you went thru the slider line, grabbed a hand full of hot dogs and a dollop of peanut butter, dip the dogs in the PB and eat them on the way back up to the flight deck.

My 6 kids originally thought it was weird, but after trying it they like it. Even better with all beef dogs or PB & breaded chicken patties with OJ.

Don't knock it until you try it!

My grandpa got me hooked on either a pack of saltine crackers & glass of milk or torn up bread & milk in a large glass measuring cup as a before bedtime snack.

In college I would buy Pork Chops. Cheap and I could make just one. I got really really good at baking it just right. Juicy and cooked all the way. Side dish would be green beans.
One time when I couldn't afford pork chops it was oat meal, bread and OJ for two weeks.

Now with children in the house it is whatever they don't finish or a soup. Sometimes I buy potato salad or salmon dip the store makes themselves, sometimes I eat with crackers and sometimes not.

My go to meal for my son is easy, bologna and cheese and crackers and for my daughter she prefers oatmeal.

Usually I buy bread and fresh pasta sauce (usually vodka sauce, other times a very garlicky tomato-based sauce) and good quality parm. I put a TON of cheese on top of the sauce, microwave it for a good two minutes so it's somewhat crispy and that's my dinner. No clean up and mindless :)

I'm definitely an assembler. Eating alone usually means a sandwich or salad, or even just toast. I make eggs pretty often too, though I don't really consider that cooking.

Spaghetti or other pastas with jarred garlic pasta sauce from Trader Joes.
Velveeta Mac 'N' Cheese or gross chef boyardi type canned ravioli.
Various boxed/canned tomato soups, crusty bread and a hunk of cheese or some cucumber.
Boca burger with cheese, garlic salt, grilled onions, ketchup and ranch dressing.
Vegetable cream cheese, babybels, or brie with Ritz, Triscuits or other assorted crackers.
Sliced cucumbers with a dash of salt.
A bowl of raspberries, strawberries or bluberries.
Frozen veggies and a cheese sauce.
Roasted red potatoes, with onions.
Turkey sandwiches on wheat or sourdough bread.
A couple servings of snack foods such as trail mix, veggie stix, or goldfish crackers.
Basically, I eat comfort food that reminds me of my childhood. I'd second anyone who said foods that are guilty pleasures.
