Sorry to say, but this site has been so depressing for a few days. I thought I'd ask an average, everyday question....to make us all feel a little more normal today.
I made Eggplant Lasagna, and my BIL and SIL are coming for dinner. They leave for Cali tomorrow to see their beautiful grand daughter.
Sorry, sometimes we just need some REGULAR conversation.......or at least THIS caregiver does.
I thought I was the only adult that "Loves" Gummi lifesaver and bears. I eat them all the time.
Golden,
I use to eat red twizzlers, but for whatever reason I can't eat them anymore. I do buy them for my sig-other and he loves them. He never did like sharing them and now he doesn't have too! Ha ha
I like my chocolate and my gummies but not together! 😜
Gald,
Cocomels sound yummy!😋
Chocolate, though, OMG!
Got a gift basket at work that had a milk dud type candy in it. Made with coconut milk, then rolled in a sweetened cocoa. Sea salt caramel inside. Those are very yummy! Called cocomels.
chocolate hats - these had different colours/flavours of fondant inside
chocolate snowballs (my favourite) - these were rolled in coconut and had a white filling
there was a mix of different caramel flavoured candies
My mom liked the hard candies, remember the ribbons?
My grandmother sometimes made "sugar plums", a kind of fudge.
And all the cookies and squares - too many to mention!
I am not much of a chocolate lover, but lately I have been getting into DH's stash of Ghirardelli.
The inner child in me still loves chocolate bunnies! 😊
I used to love peppermint bark, but can't eat it anymore. I never ate candy on Christmas. I always ate fruit and nuts. The only candy my mother would buy was hard candy that she kept in a jar and they would stick together and they were nasty. The candy was mix favors such as: peppermint, lemon, lime, cherry, orange, and watermelon, but they all taste the same. No one ever ate it! Yuk!! As an adult, I love chocolate cover cherries and orange jellies covered in dark chocolate. Oh how I wish I had some now.
I have always loved Easter candy. I like peeps, in fact, I have found a store that sold half cover chocolate peppermint peeps at Christmas, but can't find them now. I like the fruit favor jelly beans. I like eating the ears off my chocolate bunnies and still do. I guess, I never grew up! LOL Reese mintures! I hate licorice favor! My mother would buy the spice jellies beans that my brother and I would never eat, but she sure liked them with the black licorice!
I like peanut brittle. I plan on making some this weekend!
Do you like Christmas, Easter or Halloween candy best?
I love dark chocolate peppermint bark for Christmas. I made that with my daughters for Christmas.
I like a classic chocolate bunny and eggs for Easter! I do like licorice jelly beans! Hate those yucky cream eggs and peeps.
I love the mini chocolate Hershey candy for Halloween.
I am not good at making fudge! LOL, I can’t get the soft boil thing down. It turns out like syrup and my family served it on top of ice cream.
I have made our praline candy before.
My grandpa used to make delicious pralines, divinity and peanut brittle.
Thank you! I could eat the hold bag of Hershey's kisses if I let myself. 😋
Hershey's kisses (almonds) for dessert.
Cwilly, your fired zucchini sounds yummy! I love fired zucchini. I usually coat mine with egg, flour, & seasons, but yours seems easy and clean. I will have to try them your way!
Fried potato pancakes.
Easy, delicious & filling + zero cals 🤣🤣. Well...
Easy, minimal calories, slightly filling... & slightly more tasty than grass...
Hahaha, that’s a tall order!
What about take out from a nearby health food restaurant?
No cooking, it’s healthy and most likely lo cal!
Potatoes and carrots for me in split pea soup. One of my favorite soups!
I love lentil soup too! Very comforting and delicious!
I haven’t tried bacon or any meat in mine. Should I?
