A new favorite! The ingredients are kitchen staples, both my husband and 4-year old love it, and it's a snap to prepare. Love it!

Strangely, a big old bowl of Uncle Ben's converted rice with tons of butter and salt.

Growing up in the Ucraine, often had this snack with my grandma : LARD, straight from the fridge, cut in little pieces, with some raw garlic and a bit of dark rye bread. Could't touch it now!

My mother's favorite after-school snack, circa 1945, was a sandwich of thinly sliced red onion soaked in vinegar. I never tried it myself, but I'm tempted now.

As a child, I preferred fried-mushroom sandwiches. Simplicity itself - slice, fry in butter, and pile on good sturdy white bread. When I was younger, though, I loved ketchup sandwiches - just ketchup and bread. Can't stand ketchup today; won't have it in the house. I also loved licorice jelly beans; I was in hog heaven when one of the local markets offered them in bulk for a while.

My daughter, when she was young, would eat tofu straight out of the box. Also beansprouts, raw and unadorned.

My son, as a small child, loved popcorn with Taco Bell's taco sauce.

Unsweetened hemp milk is a good substitute. It has a lot of body and a creamy mouthfeel. Unsweetened almond milk would work as well, providing another layer of flavor to the profile.

I'm going to stray a bit here; the following is not a baked good at all. Melt the chocolate, dip bananas in then roll the chocolate-coated bananas in flaked coconut, nuts etc. and freeze until serving. Notes: You may want to cut bananas in half (width) and insert popsicle sticks or something similar before you dip your bananas in melted chocolate. Be sure to place the finished bananas on a cookie sheet (or baking pan) lined with waxed paper before you freeze.

Peanut Butter and Egg Sandwiches.

My boyfriend's mother also told me recently that her father used to put peanut butter on burgers...not sure about that one, but the egg combo DEFINITELY works...

Fries in a Frosty (I don't know how other chocolate milkshakes compare...)!

raspberry jelly, cream cheese, and turkey on a bagel
bologna, butter and peanut butter sandwich
my friend and his brother would eat ketchup and swiss cheese sandwiches

@Butrflygirly - cream cheese on a tuna sandwich
@cowprintrabbit - added cucumbers and onion.

I WANT!

No one thought that the chocolate-dipped bacon on last week's revised "Dinner: Impossible" seemed a bit odd???

@brooke29: That sounds great! But I want Strawberry Sauce on mine..Garlic makes everything great I think. :)

@cowprint: YAY! So glad you are a fan too. I like plain cream cheese or the veggie cream cheese on that sandwich...So yummy. I know what I am having tomorrow for lunch. :)

Which reminds me of some other combos:

~Plain Brownie: I will eat plain but do like to spread Creamy or Chunky Peanut Butter on Top
~Plain Brownie: I like to spread Cream Cheese on top too (Plain or Cinnamon are good)

@Butrflygirly - yes! Cream cheese on tuna with sliced onions and cucumbers. I think I'd better go to the store before lunch - good thing it's right next to the gym!
