The Joys of Wonder Bread

Biscuitbaker- I'm right there with you, except mine was SpaghettiOs. Particularly the kind with franks.
Really enjoyed that article. I have to agree that I, too, love the fruit-free chicken salad, and what's even better than that is egg salad. Mmmmmm, egg salad. With Hellman's mayo and white bread. Or how about all of those hors d'oeuvres recipes from the fifties and sixties that use ingredients like Vienna Sausages or Old English Cheese Spread (I have a great one for crab canapes)? I have to admit that I am one of those folks proselytizing to friends and loved ones about the virtures of organic and locally-grown, but even I still can't resist the siren song of Bagel Bites or the occaisonal Suzie-Q.

Help! Maybe I Need a Nutrition Coach

What's the difference between a nutrition coach and a nutritionist? Is it like the difference between a life coach and a licensed therapist? I'd opt for the one with better training/license, myself.

From my untrained background, I've found that increasing my fruits and vegetables and reducing my processed food intake has helped a lot.

I always mix my Mac 'n Cheese (Annie's) with spinach or broccoli and ground beef or sausage. It's pretty tasty.

Doritos and hot sauce (preferably Frank's) is good, too.

First, it's a good thing I don't have to use proper grammatical rules here, because I'm not going to. I love mac and cheese with tuna and peas. Rice, tuna and frozen peas works well...of course it needs a sprinkling of cheese. French fries with honey...yum! Bananas with sour cream?...that is something I might enjoy. I can see the whole M&M and goldfish cracker thing working...too bad I can't eat goldfish anymore! Before I found gluten-free crackers and bread I liked, I would put the following on plain rice cakes...not all mixed together!...nutella, brown sugar and cinnamon swirl cream cheese, any flavor jelly or jam, peanut butter, a slice of cheese... Applesauce goes with everything. Sausage with maple syrup is a combination found everywhere. Frozen sausage with maple syrup is out there, the McGriddle, etc. Oh man, I used to love the McGriddle! Banana pudding with chocolate sprinkles...I never got into the peanut butter and mayo sandwich, but mayo and cheese work great between two slices of bread. This thread is quite interesting, and I look forward to reading more.

When I was younger, there were some candy shops that sold chocolate-covered potato chips. They were absolutely yummy!

LOL I thought I was the only one that dipped french fries in my Frostys -- milkshakes and sundaes too. Yay!!!

When I went to McDonald's as a kid, I used to throw 4-5 french fries in my saimin* and fish them out later. They were soggy, but for whatever reason, I loved it.
* Hawaiian version of ramen except in a fish-based broth, with fishcake, green onions, and char siu on top.

@Chisai - I introduced the mayo+soy sauce as asparagus dip to my husband years ago and he LOVES it. He uses it with fish sticks, french fries, anything you can think of.

I always...always...dip my french fries in mayo-ketchup-mustard (1/2 mayo, 1/3 ketchup, 1/6 mustard), unless I'm at a Greek place, then I dip them in the tzatziki. Replace "mayo" with Kewpie mayo when I am at home.

Growing up, I used to dip my fries in honey, mainly because it was leftover from the fried chicken. I would also dab brine from pickled jalapenos on my fried chicken and eat it with whole jalapenos. I was also one of those kids who loved digging for and eating marrow. What a mess!

French onion dip lightly spread on fresh sour dough bread and sour cream and onion potato chips in the middle.
