The new healthier me accepts that there are foods I will probably never ever eat again.  Potato chips fall into that category, Nutella does too I am sad to say.  When I can add more foods into my diet, I think salf-free pretzels and salf-free air popped popcorn will be my snack foods.  I can make them tasty with spices.  Sunday, I popped some popcorn in a paper bag and seasoned it with a honey bbq hot sause that I have....loved it.

I have eaten popcorn with regular hot sauce----I like hot and spicey and its good!

I have a Nordicware Microwave bowl especially designed for popcorn, I use a tablespoon of olive oil and after the popcorn is popped I also add tasty spices.  If you like spicey things you might want to try Mrs. Dash Southwest Chiplote seasoning on your popcorn....its yummy!!!

I just worked through my addiction to Smartfood white cheddar popcorn.  I started dabbling in the white stuff back in the 80s.  I figured no one would know because I wouldn't have orange fingers from Cheetos or Nacho Cheese Doritos.  I needed that cheese fix.

I was in remission for more than two decades.  Then, last year...

But like I said, I got help and I've worked through it.

Sometimes I get the craving.  Sometimes I'm tempted by the perfectly wonderful crunch of a Kettle chip.  Sometimes I fantasize about pretzels or the buttery, salty wonderfulness of microwave movie theater-style popcorn.

But I just say no.

When I get the craving I reach for cashews, almonds or roasted pumpkin seeds.

One day at a time.

I just wanted to tell you that I loved this post. 

I read it at least three times laughing at something different each time. 

You have a great writing style that's very entertaining!

Like everything listed, but am trying to eat healthy more often, so I don't buy those things anymore. 

If I'm snacking it's a Larabar, or almonds, or dried cranberries, fruit of just about any kind, or celery and peanut butter.

I like all of the above.  But I LOVE hummus.  I could eat it on printer paper.  So my favorite snack is a slice of (room temperature) Ezekial bread slathered with hummus.  YUM!!!

I also eat roasted in the shell peanuts.  I put them in a huge ziplock bag and it's less messy that way.

On my road trip earlier this month I ate Wicked Mix spicy original. It's so good, I'm buying more for my upcoming road trip. I may even splurge and try the chocolate laced version too. 

Made with pecan halves, Cashews, Almonds plus 4 other tasty morsels. Those 7 components are then spiced with a wicked brew containing spices, some secret, some not, resulting in a tasty snack mix that cannot be adequately described, only experienced…

Skinny Pop popcorn is a healthier popcorn, if someone is looking for that. Grocery stores have it, and Costco has it for a better price.

       Oh, I've tried a couple of the Mrs Dash's on my popcorn.  Good stuff!!  Someday I might get one of those microwave bowls for my popcorn but right now, a paper bag works fine for me.  Perhaps I came late to that party but I only discovered that paper bag for popcorn thing a few months ago on Youtube.  Opened up a new world for me...lol  Sometimes I use a little olive oil but not always.  Sometimes I put it in a bowl and spray some butter flavored Pam on it and add my spices.  100 fat free, salt free calories never tasted so good.
