Default What 5 things in your kitchen...

could you absolutely NOT live without? Whether it's fresh foods, or junk food, or a condiment you put on everything... what do you LOVE?

here's my 5-

Popchips- I LOVE potato chips! And these are air popped (not fried or baked) and taste AMAZING. I don't even eat Lay's anymore- they taste awful in comparison.

Laughing Cow cheese- wedges, bites, whatever. i LOVE cheese and have to eat it every day! i put the bites on crackers, put the wedges in egg scrambles... i would literally cry for days if they stopping making it.

Yoplait- i used to HATE yogurt but i realized i was just eating the wrong kinds. my favorite is boston cream pie- i eat it almost every day.

A.C.LaRocco Pizza- i just found these THIS week. and i will never be the same again. i loooove pizza but don't let myself have it much because let's face it, bread, fatty meat, and tons of cheese don't really scream healthy. but these are so so so good! they are organic, very low fat, and VERY high fiber so you get very full. i bought like 500 to keep on hand. :P

Lesser Evil Krinkle Sticks- ok, so back to chips but not really chips. you have to understand that i use to bingeeeee and it was whole bags of potato chips at a time. so even thought i still adore chips i don't eat them often and eat a better version. ANYWAY, these taste like fries. no joke. really awesome fast food fries you can keep in your pantry. once i tried them with ketchup even and now i won't eat them without it. when i make a veggie burger, these are my fries on the side. SO. AWESOME.

so those are my 5. of course i love normal things like chicken and veggies and healthy stuff but if a magic genie was bringing me some stuff it would be this list! haha

So what is everybody elses? I love food so much and I'm curious to see what you guys like- I always up for new ideas!

I love a recipe I got from WW for Muffins made out of cake mix and pumpkin. They are a great 1pt snack and help with chocolate cravings.

Light string cheese, its a good on the go snack.

Boca Burgers.

Frozen Chicken breast, so easy to make.

Onions, I love to add it to just about everything for a nice little flavor kick.
