TOSTITOS: Hint of Lime are the best tortilla chips—and possibly best chips in general—out there. While a plain tortilla chip falls flat in the absence of salsa or dip, Tostitos HOL leaves the palette with zesty satisfaction without the guilt or stomachache I associate with Doritos. Pair it with a mojito.
Chocolate Chex. Making "Puppy Chow" by coating Chex in chocolate is a childhood staple anyway, so why not just make a chocolate version of the cereal? The best part about Chocolate Chex is that only about half of the pieces of cereal are actually chocolate. The other half are corn or whatever. Therefore, it doesn't turn your milk chocolate-y, and it still tastes like cereal. Adult, chocolate cereal is hard to come by. Special K has a flavor with chocolate pieces mixed in, but the candies are waxy and flavorless—only a disappointing illusion. I found some chocolate Mini Wheats as well, but I haven't tried them yet. So far, Chocolate Chex are a favorite. Pair it with a Merlot.
Annie's Organic White Cheddar and Pasta. It does have the same amount of fat as other boxed macaroni and cheese, but at least Annie's doesn't have that neon orange color. All you add is milk, and it's also less salty than Kraft. Plus, the shell-shaped pasta is cute. I always eat this pasta when my boyfriend is out and I'm watching TLC.
The Laughing Cow Cheese Wedges are ideal to bring to work. The creamy swiss cheese is spreadable on Club crackers, Wheat Thins, a baguette, or toast. The wedges are individually wrapped so it's easy to take one or two with you. It comes in a few flavors, but I like Original. The Light Original one actually tastes the same too.
