Gummy bearrrsss!! Haribo brand. The quality varies from bag to bag, so I like the fresh softer ones. I eat this every night.

Publix Birthday Cake ice cream.

Ben n Jerry's Cheesecake ice cream.

Arroz con picadillo - Cuban meal of ground beef stewed in a tomato sauce. It's kind of like a dry ground beef spaghetti sauce. Mix and eat with rice. Fun fact! When I was a child, I had to eat this meal every week on Tuesdays. Btw, I'm autistic.

Honestly.. Taco Bell lol. (when done correctly) Preparing food is much too much most days for me.

Kettle corn! I learned how to make it myself in my stovetop popcorn spinner pot. Super easy, helps mitigate migraines (salt and sugar help raise my chronic low blood pressure), and has a very unique texture that I love.

Beef maruchan ramen. Basically almost entirely what I survived on until I was 25.
I used to do chicken + mushroom flavour when I was very small but they discontinued it.

[–] ABCDE@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Pasta and/or curry.

Crackers and hommus. Not exactly sufficient when I'm very hungry

Right now they are coconut butter, peanut butter, carob chips, protein bars, and beef sticks.

CW: meat

Chicken tendies. I finally figured out to make them efficiently and in-bulk from scratch, so I just make as many as I can at a time and freeze the rest for later. They're great in sandwiches too.

The tendies last for like a week until I finish them. My understanding is that they're good in a freezer for about a month, but I always recommend checking food safety facts for yourself.

On the day I'm actually cooking them, I'll set aside one breast, butterfly it, and cook the entire piece as one massive slab of chicken. The one I just did took up the whole plate!

The largest chicken "tendie" I ever did was back before I went to engineering school and I had time to do sous vide. I used sous vide to cook the largest chicken breast I could find all the way through, then fried the outside and breading to golden brown. It was like a chicken steak, like a full inch thick slab of comfort. It was obscenely good.

Same. Oatmeal with fruit, same reason. Plus I use frozen fruit, so it's easy to stock up on.

Tnx for sharing. This made me happy :)
