(12,526 posts)If my blood sugar is a bit low.
When it gets seriously low I squirt a shitload of honey in my mouth. It raises my sugar levels fast.
Really dangerously low I get some sugary juice like orange juice and stir sugar into it and chug it.
I love honey on the peanut butter grahm crackers but nowadays I use just the peanut butter.
rsdsharp
(9,279 posts)and told me my blood sugar was 42. Six or eight small packages of graham crackers, and at least that many orange juice cups, and it staggered up to the mid 80s. That was a fun night. Not as fun as the week before when it hit 440 (with other interesting complications) but interesting, nonetheless.

(17,462 posts)Why are you quitting cinnamon toast?
Demovictory9
(32,543 posts)Pops in my mind time to time..ate in the wonder bread years.. I guess stopped when soft white bread was no longer in fashion
True Dough
(17,462 posts)Nobody told our household. We still eat plenty of it (but not as cinnamon toast).

(10,028 posts)Honey works, too. Mrs Mopar likes cheese. Whitebread only works in the popup toaster,, too delicate otherwise.
Or maybe you swapped out some taste buds - happy munchjng!

(7,576 posts)Cinnamon toast and French Toast. Whole wheat breads adds an incompatible flavor I think! Guess that's why I never make those any more - all my bread is whole grain now!
happybird
(4,718 posts)Quick, easy, and tasty!
Spaghetti Os were the first thing I thought of. No hotdogs or sawdust meatballs or any of those fancy schmancy varieties. Just good ol plain Spaghetti Os.
Wonder how they taste now?

(3,428 posts)That's Marshmallow Fluff + peanut butter, for those who are unfamiliar.
Also Jell-O instant pudding. It's been several decades since I made that, or ate it.

(2,239 posts)I would sometimes, not every night, get a "soppy egg sandwich."
I still eat my eggs 'soppy', runny yolks, but I no longer get the luxury of two piece of bread to hold them.
And I don't have my mother to make them for me, with extra love.
I just have to love myself, and that means soppy eggs, no bread.

(2,239 posts)but the yolk is the soppy part.
So much flavor!
I think having learned to like the flavor as a treat when I was young, got me past the urpy thing a lot of people go through. I do like the whites to be well cooked, though.

(9,300 posts)All melted and so yummy tried it again recently. Yuck. Like many foods, Cheez Whiz has changed and not for the better. Doesnt melt, bland and tasteless. Kraft probably reduced the sodium to make it healthier. Blech.

(119,196 posts)Then sprinkle it on the bread. One of the only sweet things my mom allowed.....that and butterscotch pudding.
Kali
(55,057 posts)well, now just layer cinnamon and sugar. but I do still have the little jar my Grandma kept her cinnamon sugar in.
Mother and Grandma both did theirs in the oven and it does give a nice texture, but the toaster is so much faster.
applegrove
(119,196 posts)1 Tbsp cocoa and 1 Tbsp butter mixed with a whisk and cooked in a pot till it is cooked and forms a paste. Add 2 cups 2%milk and sugar to taste (or sugar substitute these days) and heat up. Pour into a mug. Enjoy. My grandmother would of had this as a tot in the 1800s. Later would have made it for her kids (my mom and aunt) on the farm she ran in the 1930s, 40s. Back when everything was made from scratch. Then she made it for us kids in the 70s.

(7,911 posts)Especially graham cracker and milk. By which I mean, break up the graham crackers in a bowl and pour the milk over the top.
Kali
(55,057 posts)made with powdered sugar, milk and cocoa (or nestle's quick? can't remember) sounds nauseating to me now.

(63,221 posts)I don't know why, but I kind of liked mustard sandwiches. I have always liked mustard (all kinds except for honey mustard) and would just make them as a snack sometimes. Eventually I grew out of it as I got less hungry during the day.
Elessar Zappa
(14,190 posts)Thats interesting. I love mustard but Im not sure Id like that. Maybe Ill try it today lol.
smirkymonkey
(63,221 posts)I love mustard. Sometimes I would just squirt it on my finger and eat it plain.
nocoincidences
(2,239 posts)I've done it myself, but not mustard!
Nittersing
(6,421 posts)Didn't like it with sauce as a kid.
Also a cinnamon toast fan. Haven't had it in years because (like a previous poster) I just kinda forgot about it.
nocoincidences
(2,239 posts)with butter and garlic, as a quick treat/meal.
Sometimes you just aren't up for a heavy sauce!

(6,321 posts)I haven't liked graham crackers since grammar school. They used to give us a couple of them with a little carton of milk as a morning snack. I guess I just got overexposed to them. Even later
lark
(23,265 posts)Graham crackers are good for crusts, and homemade banana puddings (with real homemade custard & ripe bananas) and that's about it.
grumpyduck
(6,321 posts)I think some of here will want you to prove it. 😀

(23,265 posts)I have to plan for it in advance so my wrongly twisted back can have a chance at handling it.

(32,543 posts)Graham crackers taste sweet than.cookies
mopinko
(70,517 posts)do indulge occasionally, but not often.
lark
(23,265 posts)I love it! Since I'm eating healthier, I cut way back on the butter and sugar and use more cinnamon which helps metabolize sugar. It's still a little slice of tasty sin, but not as sinful as before.
Irish_Dem
(49,045 posts)Make toast, butter it, then sprinkle a mixture of cinnamon and sugar on top.
Coincidentally, I was just about to make some when I saw your post!
