I'm just having a piece of walnut fudge.:cool:

Note: Cadbury Easter cream eggs are on store shelves finally, hurry up before they are all gone.

Just finished a box of girl scout cookies. They were trefoils, shortbread cookies.
 
in hindsight,bourbon or merlot would have been the wiser choice.......starting to get a reaction to the broccoli,yogart,ice cream combo...........going from woozy to queasy !
 
I done the same thing, searched through the fridge, suddenly a brilliant idea came to mind. mayo on the first piece of toast, then a slice of cheese, then jalepenos, 2 hot dogs butterflied and laid open, then bacon, then ketchup, then cheese, then chili, the other slice of toast.

Alot better than a regular hot dog.
 
Fruit , preferably an orange. Cleanses the palate and ya don't need to drink anything that'll make ya get up again in another hour!

A handful of them little peeled and bagged baby carrots are good too.
 
I try not to eat too close to when I'm going to sleep. But, if I'm feeling munchy at night I often enjoy some mixed nuts or raw almonds.

That goes back to my dad who got me into weight lifting and would often have bread with peanut butter before bed for some nighttime protein.
 
Why the sandwich that gave midnight snacks it's name, the Medianoche....

....not available at a sandwich shop near you unless you live on Calle Ocho. ;)
 
I like to have a sandwich...a slice of Seagram's VO between 2 slices of Budweiser!! Burp
 
That's easy. POPCORN!

It's been my go-to late-night snack for over forty years. I used to pop it up in a big frying pan, then slather it with plenty of real butter and butter-flavored salt.

As I've gotten older, I'm afraid I've also gotten lazier, especially in the popcorn popping area, and have resorted to the microwave stuff.

Still, it's a regular around the ol' homestead for a late-night snack...usually washed down with a cold root beer. Thomas Kemper's is my favorite, but if I can't find that, Barq's is a close second.

Big bowl of buttered popcorn, a cold root beer, and a John Wayne movie. Dang! Doesn't get much better than that!

Almonds man. If you're watching your weight, or just want to stay lean and feel FULL without consuming a ton of calories from .... **** basically that will leave you feeling bloated in the morning... eat raw veggies, almonds, a FEW (1-3) hard-boiled eggs, a few rice cakes. Heck... my favorite is 2 tablespoons of all natural peanut butter.
 
Unfortunately for me I'll eat just about anything that's not good for me late at night - ice cream sandwiches, chips, pretzels, pop corn, yada yada......... I now need to loose 20 - 25 pounds! Gun belts are getting expensive!
 
Green chile-cheese apple pie. You don't have to heat it up since it's already "warm". It's a New Mexico thing.

One question: Are you in your first or second trimester?
 
Peanut butter and honey sandwich or the ol' southern favorite..cornbread and milk.

I could eat like that....and then go directly to the emergency room. Actually when I was younger I could and DID eat that bad and worse. Now a daze if I get up at night I have to be pretty careful.

Some of my favorites that I can still (mostly) get away with are:
. Cold fried chicken
. Cold fried fish
. Cold fried pork chop
. Pretzels and peanut butter
. Cheetos (small amount)
. Corn nuts (small amount)
. PB&J sammich w/glass of milk
