1. Chips. I love chips, especially tortilla chips. Doritos are really yummy. Also on my mission I had an affinity to lime flavor and still do. One of my companions and I (Monica, aka Hna Schmitt) always had a bag of lime tostitos in our car. And we wondered why we gained weight! But I have recently found some chips that are even better. Dare I say, the best chips ever. Introducing Kettle Chili Lime. Try some yourself and see what I mean. Extra crunchy and perfectly seasoned. I just finished off a bag with the help of my partner in crime, Amzie.
2. Ice cream. Hands down, best ice cream ever goes to Ben & Jerry's Chubby Hubby. The mere mention of this ice cream makes me weak in the knees. The only problem with this ice cream is that every once in a while they'll stop making it. Then a couple years later, I find it again. I don't know if they do this with all their flavors since I am not devoted to any other flavors, although I have recently found that the strawberry cheesecake is REALLY good.
3. Cookies. We're talking store bought cookies. My favorite is Almond Joy cookies. If you like coconut and you've never tried these, you're doing yourself a great disservice. These are awesome cookies.
4. One of my favorite snacks in the past year or so is Ritz crackers with peanut butter and chocolate chips. I like to spread a generous layer of PB and have found 6 chocolate chips to be the perfect amount. I know, I'm a dork. As you can see, I'm a sucker for sweet/salty.
5. Popcorn. Popped in the air popper with a lot of butter and salt. This remains my favorite snack of all time. Good thing I'm married to a dentist - may need a lot of dental work in the future, but I try not to chew on too many seeds.
6. Dr. Pepper. Although this is a drink, I consider it a snack because, well, it's just junk, right? But it's junk that I love. The way I try to avoid drinking gallons and gallons of this stuff is just not to buy it at the grocery store. But whenever I'm at any sort of restaurant, I'll get my fix. And no extra flavors, please. It's perfect just the way it is, over ice, thank you.

Is that the same popcorn popper from college? You always loved snacks...I make popcorn and grape koolaid for my kids and they think it is a huge treat and I get to reminisce...good times, good times. I am wondering how you stay so great looking with all of these crazy snacks. Good genes? Great metabolism? A diet just of snacks? What's your secret?
Jenn, that's not actually my popcorn popper, I got that picture off Wikipedia. But yes, mine from college is still going strong. And speaking of popcorn and grape kool aid reminds me of ER, which by the way, is pretty much crap now. So sad from what is used to be with the original cast and before it got so soap-opera-ish. I stopped watching when a helicopter flew into the hospital. And staying thin - I chalk it up to good genes from the Garrett side (which as you remember from college and post-mish, these Garrett genes have to keep fighting the McCain genes). Also, nursing is what sucks fat off me more than anything. And, need I remind you, I work out now!
All those snacks sound so delicious. I only want to eat junk food lately. I ran to Kroger for milk the other night and came home with Rocky Road ice cream, and two bags of Pepperidge farm cookies. After keeping my wieght gain in check this whole pregnancy I think it will double over the next six weeks. Brownies for breakfast is alright if you drink a big glass of milk with it, right?
Le, just don't get on the Swiss Cake rolls with Dr. Pepper diet. Very bad. Brownies and milk sounds like a well-rounded meal compared to that.
