What's your guilty food pleasure when your SO is away?
I usually get some chips and dip. Then have a dinner of oven-baked breaded shrimp and tater tots. Total grossout meal. We never eat that crap when my wife's home.

1. Mac'n'cheese from a box, with a can of tuna mixed in, eaten right out of the pot, with a beer.

Mr. Brickbat hates that crap.

I have been seriously underutilizing my Hormel Chili.

11. I make it that way, but...
I also add some veggies, usually broccoli. Annie's boxed mac'n'cheese is actually pretty good.

Way, way WAY back in the day (when there was a Ms MiddleFingerMom),
it used to be Big Macs.

2. Chicken. Hubby's gone vegetarian.
I'm good with it, like what we normally eat, but every now and then I got to have me some yard bird.

3. I have cereal for dinner.
The ultimate in lazy no-dishes cooking. Plus, I love cereal.

7. Kraut, hubby can't stand the smell. Whenever he's gone kids and I would
literally pig out with anything with kraut.

8. Sour Cream and Chive potato chips and chocolate ice cream
Sometimes I crumble the chips on top but mostly I just use the chip and dip method.

9. Beer. If my wife's home with our 6mo old, I sip a pint
If she's away with the baby, my happy ass is at the taproom.

If she's away and I have the baby, I think how nice a pint will be when she goes to bed for her long nap or the night...then I wait for my wife anyway before I take a drink.

My darling Iz is really cutting into my sittin' around drinkin time. (WORTH IT)

15. I hit the Greek market
and buy hummus, dolmas and roasted eggplant with pita. The eggplant tastes like its been marinating in garlic for a week. So yummy!

19. Damn i Wish I had a greek market
But I'm pretty sure if there was one near me Greece wouldn't be in half the financial trouble they are right now. But I'd be in twice.

29. Me, too.
Although, we can get hummus everywhere here, and the olive bar at Kroger usually has dolmas. The eggplant dip, however...

28. Are those veggie burgers homemade?
If so, would you be so kind as to post the recipe? I'm always up for new veggie burger recipes, and I'm not even a vegetarian, let alone a vegan. I just tend to like them better than the real thing.
