i'm planning a trip to wine country in the fall and it will be my first. i'm a total foodie - so i don't want to waste a single meal there - only the best. and if possible, i'd like to stay on a budget, as i am The Frugal Foodie.
thanks for the help!
i love them just the way they are - bleached flour and all. putting some whole grains in them doesn't negate any of the fat, refined sugar or white flour, so i don't know who they think they're kidding....
roasted nuts - especially cashews! yum!!
i just thought of another cookie i recently had: white chocolate & craisins. AMAZING, but i don't have a recipe. sorry!
great question!
couple suggestions...
i'll second kitkat's recommendation for the double tree cookies. they are phenomenal - and everyone will think you're a rockstar. that is, if you don't eat all the dough before you're done.
there's another 'thin mint' cookie i like to make that is a double chocolate cookie with a melted andes mint on top. fantastic! and the kids will love the green swirls on top. check out the recipe here.
trader joe's ginger sesame soy vinaigrette - it's delicious and fat free.
good ol'fashioned peanut butter & jelly, big bowl of cereal or krispy kreme donuts
with a mouth full of any ben & jerry's ice cream. also, i've been dying to try 101 cookbook's honey ice cream. gosh, that sounds good.
i'm still waiting for B&J's to make either a banana bread or donut ice cream - my two favorite sweets to eat ice cream with...
chili cheese fritos & cottage cheese
egg noodles, butter & ketchup - yum!
breakfast sausage & syrup
french fries & ranch dressing
how about vanilla sugar?
just split the vanilla beans, scrape the seeds out and mix into sugar. fantastic treat!
Rachael, Guy and SLoP should be BANNED. Every Rachael recipe I've tried has come out like s**t.
I love just about everyone else on the FN.
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.
i have a lot of weird food combinations, but i just remembered some more
avocados and raisins
goat cheese and salsa (instead of cream cheese and salsa)
speaking of which bacon cream cheese bagels are delicious
waffles honey maple turkey, sharp cheddar and little bit of maple syrup and butter
carrots and dijon
pretzels and applesauce
wow i eat alot of strange things
Best snack - candy corn and salted peanuts
Toasted bagels with cottage cheese and applesauce on top.
Speaking of applesauce, one of my friends just loves to dip potato chips in applesauce!
Back in the day, used to love blue box mac & cheese w/ tuna and peas, Haven't had that in years.
goat cheese, strawberries and brownies or dark chocolate
hummus and salsa
rice with tomato sauce and melted american cheese all mixed together
@ohnofullmoon- Bacon and Peanut Butter ROCKS!!
@thefrugalfoodie - I love breakfast sausage and maple syrup.
I like peanut butter, Marshmallow Fluff (not creme, FLUFF) with potato chips in between the pb and fluff layers.
Cottage cheese with syrup, we also ate our rice with syrup.
Popcorn and milk
1- mac and cheese with ketchup
2- peanut butter and mayo sandwiches
3- handful of m&m's with a handful of goldfish crackers
4- french fries dipped in a frosty from wendy's
5- slices of green apple with dill cheese
if you cant tell: i LOVE sweet and tangy things together!
Bagel and cream cheese with yellow mustard and obscene amounts of black pepper. Seriously.
