Is anyone else stress eating bc of the election

[Baltimike]

and if so, what are you having?

I am getting ready to make a meatloaf tomorrow, and sub cauliflower puree for mashed potatoes, and prob peas on the side.

Also, I have had tons of coffee and snack sized candy bars.

[FM123]

1. Yes! Lot of baking these days....

Today we had brownies for dessert. Okay, that was a lie. We had brownies for lunch.

[Baltimike]

4. I know, right? I keep making big things and whittling them down

so I don't have to cook.

I also love breakfast...just not making it...so more fast food breakfast than at any other time in my life. (like 10x a month, and that's a LOT for me)

[Hoyt]

2. Not an excuse I've used yet, but I might grab a bag of potato chips now.

[NRaleighLiberal]

3. making various loaf cakes - great after lunch with tea, warmed with butter

pumpkin spice, apple walnut....also baking scones, cornbread. Tomorrow - apple pie (we are toward the end of local apple season - it's been such fun).

Night time snacking is an issue right now....I am an anxiety eater!

[Baltimike]

5. They sound amazing

I am an anxiety eater too

[MLAA]

6. Yes, chips and dips. And Trader Joe's Vanilla soy ice cream.

[NRaleighLiberal]

7. We love that vanilla Soy Creamy with some grated dark chocolate

The chocolate chunk cherry soy creamy is great too

my favorite Trader Joe addiction are the dark chocolate peanut butter cups!

[MLAA]

13. Have you tried the Trader Joe's individual dairy free Cheesecakes? They are frozen.

I love them with a little dairy free whip ‘cream’ in a can also from TJ.

Since you are a gardener...I will tell you what is in the cheesecakes. You’d never know it by the taste.....Lima beans! Give them a try! And yes, the cherry chocolate soy cream is also delicious. I also really like their kale pesto sauce and their gnocchi.

Recently I tried their vanilla almond milk / coconut milk creamer in small Cartons. I’ve tried every non dairy creamer and theirs is hands down the best.

8. A chocolate layer cake w/buttercream frosting

Made from scratch being I cannot go to the store!

Yumm!

[AleksS]

9. Yes.

And I've been eating whatever I can reach that will fit in my mouth. It's not pretty.

[SheltieLover]

10. What?

Chocolate is the single most impotant food group!

[niyad]

18. You mean there are others???????

[SheltieLover]

19. No! No!

That just cannot be!

[Baltimike]

22. The food groups are sweet, salty, fried and au gratin. :) nt

[SheltieLover]

24. Right!

But chocolate is the most "essential."

[C_U_L8R]

11. Gluten everything

[brewens]

12. Nah. That's what weed is for. The stress comes from fighting off the munchies, so it's a

break even thing.

[mitch96]

21. Munchies are the worst. I wish there was a strain that did do that. I'm ok by my self stress eating

Anxiety eating. Quarantine eating what ever you want to call it I'm eating it.. I try to eat "good" so I don't eat much meat or dairy, mostly veg but I got into baking bread and that didn't help the waistline.
Legumes, hummus rice ,quinoa LOTS of home made veg soup.... YMMV
And then there is Beer and chips and I'll leave it at that....

[Baltimike]

25. There are strains that don't so that.

Look for a sativa strain.

[mitch96]

27. tnx

[sinkingfeeling]

14. Ice cream, every fricking night!

[2naSalit]

15. Off and on...

I try to behave so I don't let myself by sweets or make deserts, I'd have to replace my wardrobe otherwise. So my munchies are at least healthy. I will have fruit for desert like a sliced apple so I can savor every piece. Or a sup of berries or something like that.

I have started baking pot dinners, dinner in a pot or as known in the mid-west, hot dish. I make them up with stuff I have left in the fridge before I go shopping.

[dflprincess]

16. I'm constantly nibbling

Though so far I've kept it healthy. But I've promised myself I can have chips and quac election night

[Baltimike]

28. Oh, I'm nibbling and it ain't healthy

This bag of doritos will be gone by election day

the BIG bag

[dflprincess]

29. I don't dare buy the chips until Tuesday

or they'd be long gone by then.

[Baltimike]

30. I really did not factor in how stressed out I'd be

and I am not watching news at ALL.

NONE of it

[niyad]

17. I am one of those weirdos who cannot eat when stressed. But I am waiting for Nov I, because

that is when the Halloween candy, in the convenient snack size, goes half price. Here is to celebration!!!!

[Baltimike]

23. I get the convenient snack size for me, and give out full sized candy bars

to the kiddos.

I never get many because there is a development of row homes behind my house, so they get more bang for their buck going to those houses.

20. I was just eating my son's leftover birthday cake.

Then I read about the Dumpster fiasco in Omaha and felt calmer and went back to my flavored soda water 🎂🎂🎂🍰🍰🍰

[Baltimike]

26. I am baking some cookies right now and am having a cuppa

and FINALLY making the meatloaf I was too freaking lazy to make these past few days.
