Recently I went through an orange phase. I was eating like half a dozen oranges a day. At the moment it's nectarines. Love them. Next week it'll be something else.

If I need a quick energy fix - nothing beats these:

Any kind of nut, preferably cashews, pecans, almonds. Wasabi peas, barbecue potato chips, red licorice, granola cereal (I eat the large pieces and leave the rest), any kind of fruit

No...seriously?
Cheese. I don't care what kind. If it's cheese and it's there, I will eat it. At any given point in time, I usually have a minimum of 6 types of cheese in the fridge. Usually :

-Cheddar (sharp white cheddar is great)

-Goat cheese (yummy with fresh rosemary and olives, on some artisan flat bread)

-Brie (it's good with anything)

-Feta (with tomatoes, green onions, and olive oil - Egyptian breakfast)

-Fresh mozzarella (I like to make insalata caprese for a quick snack)

-Fontina (melts so beautifully)

MVM, cheeeeese yeeesss.

ghani, The sesame blues are my favorite too! Salsa, garlic hummus, yep yep. Smartfood and Cape Cod potato chips are my weakness too.

Right now I'm eating a can of black olives.

Sprinkling various spices into the popcorn and mixing them by hand in the bowl gives it a good kick.

Suggested spices:

~ sea salt & fresh cracked pepper
~ chili powder!
~ dried basil
~ dried oregano
~ paprika
~ dried garlic
~ cumin

An extra drizzle of extra virgin olive oil gilds the lily.

Sometimes it's home-made spinach dip, eaten with chunks of Italian bread. A slice of celery, a large leaf of lettuce, and several slices of thin Cheddar cheese, dipped in Thousand Island Dressing.

Potato chips don't do much for me anymore (a lot of time, they leave me feeling ill), but I occasionally like plain ones dipped in French Onion Dip, or the Doritos I ate for the first time in years, yesterday (a little goes a long way). Tortilla Chips dipped in hot Salsa. A glazed doughnut... veggie Subway sandwich, with southwest dressing, olives, shredded cheese, pickles and (sometimes) slices of hot pepper. Cream cheese on cinnamon-raisin bagels. I used to love English Salt & Vinegar crisps ~ Cheese & Onion, too. Oh, and English chips (no fish for me) - fat and greasy, but I love them (and miss them), sprinkled with salt and malt vinegar. Pickled onions. In England, I also loved cheese and pickle (Ploughman's or Branston) sandwiches.

Trail Mix (sometimes - again, a little goes a long way). Peanut M&M's. I've been snacking on chocolate chips for the past few days.

Ah... I'm hungry. I have pizza waiting downstairs.

We bought a plain pack and a variety pack. The variety pack has these dark little sticks so they may be what you're referring to. They're the best ones.

Especially coconut water!

And I like the blue (sesame or no) corn chips and salsa...

My weakness, tho, is Cool Ranch Doritos.

I used Jasmine or Basmati rice 'cause they didnt have sushi rice. Mistake.

Still, they came out alright and I was glad I made something.

Sushi!

I'll rarely have an ice cream heavy on chocolate, but as these get me intensely high, I enjoy those sparingly. But I'd call those a favorite. Oddly, I don't like having strawberries with them (nor do I like any kind of chocolate right after having a strawberry).

Indian Spiced Tea and a samosa is something I'd get more of if they weren't so hideously expensive.
