Secret Stash
Everyone has those dirty little secret snacks hiding somewhere in their house. Ok. Maybe you don’t, but we do!
So when Parent Bloggers Network asked bloggers everywhere what’s in the our panties? (er uh, PANTRIES. Typo but I’m keeping it.) I felt compelled to share.
Now that Seth’s in school and he has to bring a snack each day, we HAVE to have alot of snacks in the house, right? (Ok, so that’s what I tell myself.) So as you can see, there’s no way anyone’s gonna go hungry — Nilla’s, Fruit Roll-Ups, Goldfish crackers, barbecue chips and Cheetos crackers. (You can’t even see the popcorn or the Doritos hidden in the back.) And that’s not counting the “candy box”.
The candy box usually contains the sweets. In this case licorice and Hershey’s Candy Corn Kisses as well as a stray Hostess Ding Dong and as a few lollipops.
And did I mention how we usually have some sort of baked good in the house as well? Last week it was a Cherry Stollen from a local bakery. But earlier this week I made chocolate chip cookies. Next week I’ll probably make brownies…
If you read this blog with regularity, you’ll ask yourself, “Where the hell is the chocolate.” Well… Good question. Last month between a food poisoning and some other stressful event, I stopped eating sweets. Hell, I stopped eating much of anything. I lost 12 pounds! And for some reason now, I just don’t get much pleasure out of eating sweets (or anything in general.) The good thing about this is that its been easy to keep that weight off. So now what I buy is stuff the hubby and the boy will eat, ergo…
Why don’t YOU share your snack time stories too. Post anytime between Sept 5 and 7th.

Goldfish crackers are one of my favourite snacks in the world :O I only buy them when they’re on sale, which is an unfortunately rare occasion.

Looks like my panty! My kids keep finding my chocolate stash so I’m having to get more creative.

We just had a birthday party so there are cupcakes in my home right now. They really need to get eaten QUICKLY by somebody besides ME!
I try to keep a lot of fruit & veggies around for healthy snacks but I won’t claim we don’t eat a little junk, too!

We always have tons of snacks around, too. The kids have snack time at school and they have a little snack whne they come home. Hubby and I snack in the evenings sometimes since we have to eat supper at 4:30 in order to get Matthew to practice on time. My kids love cereal and yogurt for snacks.

Usually I hide things in a plastic bag behind the bread. But the best hiding place? The one that NEVER gets discovered?
Mah belly.

I invited you to a dinner party where you can gain those 12 pounds back eating guacomole! Please say you’ll come?

I’m a little disturbed that Slackermommy is hiding her chocolate stash in her panty… but whatever works.

I think 100 calorie snacks should be outlawed. Bring on the brownies.

I’m so hungry now! Damn it! And I don’t have good snacks like those. I do have chocolate hidden though. Bye!

I just LOL’d at the “free groceries for a month ($250 value).” Groceries for A MONTH? For $250? That’s like a week in my house.
