Three Tips For An Insanely Delicious Chocolate Chip Cookie

Snack Girl has been refining her chocolate chip cookie recipe. It is a tough job - but I am willing to make the sacrifice....

The ONLY Chocolate Chip Cookie You Should Ever Eat

Snack Girl has a secret. With over 27 inches of snow outside her window, she can't look a vegetable in the eye....

Got a Case of the Mondays? This Will Make You Smile

The cupcake followed me home. I was spending a little time at our local market and he got in my basket - really!...

Cheesy and cheery to make you chunky

Are Cheetos nutritious? No, the cheese part does not make them nutritious. They are filled with salt, processed cheese, and corn...

Are baked snap peas as good as fresh snap peas?

Baked snap peas are mashed green peas shaped into a pea shape and baked with oil and salt. They have the same calories per ounce as potato chips....

Would you like an order of fat with your burger?

Onion rings are another delicious fast food. I love the soft oniony inside and the crunchy batter outside. Unfortunately, the deep frying part renders these puppies into a very fatty snack....

America's Favorite Vegetable

The average American eats 30 pounds of french fries a year. I found this statistic on a website devoted to the history of french fries. French fries are a much loved staple for us Americans. We probably out do the Belgians who consider them a national treasure.

Corn, oil, and salt combined to fill you up

Hey, wait a minute! Almost 600 calories in a bag of Fritos??!! That is ludicrous. Yeah, it is. Maybe YOU will be able to stop yourself from eating the entire bag.

Mechanically separated meat is not good for you

The stick of jerky photographed here is actually not beef. I was shocked to discover that I had purchased a stick of jerky made with pork and something called "mechanically separated chicken". Okayyy.

Would you like chemicals with your cupcakes?

The poster child for junk food

What can I say that hasn't been said? These little snack cakes are the definition of junk food. They are so hard not to love. And they sell 500 million of them a year.

What is the vegetable in these chips? Potatoes

It sounds so great doesn't it? Veggie Chips! I can have vegetables AND chips. Woo-hoo! Yeah....

Bear shaped sugar

Aren't they so cute? Those little bears dressed in sweet colors are a very fun treat. I like these because they don't pretend to be something that they are not, like "fruit snacks". These are candy, plain and simple.

Doughnut - stick it on your thigh

I love donuts so much that a friend once suggested that I become a police officer. I realize this is a slander against police officers, and I apologize to them, but the connection has to do with staying up all night and getting a snack from the only place that is open at 3 AM...

Snickers satisfies the need for sugar

"Snickers Really Satisfies" goes their marketing jingle. I think that the company that makes them (Mars Bars) wants to remind you that they have peanuts in them, and that they will stop your hunger.

A delicious way to expand your wasteline

Oreos are America's favorite cookies. They are truly delicious. The dark bitter chocolate outside and the creamy inside are world famous....

Full of salt and lacking in nutrients

Is this a snack or a meal? Well, I think many people would still feel hungry if you had just a cup of noodles for lunch, so I think it is a snack....

Low in calories as long as you hold the butter

Microwave popcorn is a fast and easy snack that can be satisfying and nutritious but you need to choose carefully if you are on a diet...
