A good friend celebrated her birthday recently and we surprised her with her favorite junk fixes. My own junk fixes would include: Pringles (Sour Cream or Original). Microwave buttered popcorn. Doritos with salsa.
This reminds me of a quick microwave fix. Place nachos in a microwavable bowl. Pour salsa and cheese over the chips. Microwave for a minute. Ta-da! Melted cheese and hot salsa on semi-crispy, semi-chewy nachos. What a fix.
Back to other junk fixes: Piknik. Nova chips. Cheese Curls. Chippy. Snacku. Oishi. Fish crackers. Chicharon. Clover.
Wash it down with a glass of ice cold Coke. Pat your belly and grin from ear to ear. The next day, feel bad and think “Why the hell did I eat so much junk?!?!” Exercise to get rid of junk fix guilt.
I know you’re with me here. Junk fixes are nothing to be ashamed of. True, we should eat healthy food and stay away from junk. But let’s face it, we all have our weak moments. We just have to indulge once in awhile. As with everything else in life, moderation is the key word. So go ahead and eat that chip.
*munch munch*
Nachos, anyone?
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

yeah we all should eat in moderation. I have a friend here that ate doritos like there’s no tomorrow.. he gained a whole lot of pounds. Imagine he came from the army pa.. tapos pag balik doritos.. lagot.. nawala ang muscles. hehehe!
