Glad I'm not the only one who likes Chef Boyardee. Velveeta Shells and Cheese is another guilty pleasure food of mine. Love it as-is, or sometimes I like to add frozen broccoli to it.

Dump the can in a bowl, stir in some fresh mushrooms and black pepper, and we're good to go. I could live off of that stuff, were it not a sodium bomb.

What are some of yours?
Yeah, I am not nearly at all a health nut, but I eat healthy. No pop, cook healthy, no sugar, lots of veggies and fruits...fresh and otherwise (frozen/canned if fresh is not available).

BUT I love Cream of Chicken (or Cream of Celery) soup with rice, celery and lemon/lime juice...AND Cheetos, regular puffy, Extra Crispy Cheetos & HOT Cheetos.

God, I am so boring!

Caramel Apples

Pepperidge Farms Apple Turnovers

Terra Spiced Sweet Potato Chips

Lay's BBQ Kettle Chips

I could go on and on with this list, but I'll stop now.

How about Pepperidge Farm cookies? Lots of transplanted Europeans love them.

Red Twizzlers. Especially at the movies. With popcorn. One is sweet, the other salty, and they complement one another so well!
I've been known to eat Popcorn with Junior Mints at the movies.

Inevitably, my companions think that's a strange combination.

What are some of yours?
Candy. Not with chocolate, preferably. That just interferes with the sugar rush.

Those little orange pumpkins at Halloween.
Peeps.
Valentine's Day - those little candy hearts with sayings on them.
Easter - called Easter Basket candy eggs: candy outer shell (they come in a bag w/different colors), with marshmallow centers. Yum!
Old fashioned Lollipops. The kind with circular rings of striped candy.
Marshmallows, either out of the bag or melted in the microwave. Mmmmm.
Sugar Babies.
Butter mints.
Soft peppermint candies that melt in your mouth.
Jelly beans. They're so pretty, too!

It's no accident, I guess, that my grandpa kept a candy drawer. He was fond of those soft peppermint candies.

A slice of carrot cake. The carrots make it healthy, right?

Bet half the ingredients aren't "bad" at all. I'm beginning to think Americans have a very Puritanical, almost neurotic relationship with food!

That borders on healthy. A glass of wine and a small bag of M&M's, not bad.

A whole bottle of wine and a 2lb. bag of M&M's. Better.
