I find myself craving certain meals after an exceptionally long/stressful shift. None of it is ever healthy!! Tonight was one of those nights. It got me thinking... what comfort food do you crave after a difficult shift?
I'll go first.
I LOVE anything with syrup-- pancakes (especially with chocolate chips!!), waffles, and french toast. That syrup melts away all the stress of the day! My other big-time comfort meal is bacon, eggs, and fried tomatoes. I'm not quite sure why it's all breakfast food...
If it is summer or hot weather-and as I live in Florida that's pretty much all year round-BlueBell Ice cream...especially Tropical paradise or vanilla with strawberries or mint chocolate chip.
or
PIZZA!
or
BOTH!
with a Coke Zero (so much better than regular diet coke) because I am counting calories...

To be perfectly honest?
Turkey & Cheese Lunchables. It has a little bit of everything - salty, crunchy, carbs, a drink, and a small dessert.
I don't want to go anywhere near Lunchables except for when I finish a string of long shifts. Nothing tastes better at eight AM!
One time, I went to the grocery store bound and determined to buy something else, something closer to REAL FOOD. I swear I wondered around the store for forty-five minutes...and only walked out with the Lunchables!
