We've all done it: sneak down to the kitchen, hoping the floor boards don't moan or the pantry door doesn't squawk, grabbing whatever treat you were summoned to the kitchen by and getting back into your room before anyone becomes suspicious. The guilty pleasures of a midnight snack... here's a few of my favorites:

• Left Overs. Cold pizza is one of the best midnight snacks one could hope to find hidden in the approaching-their-expiration-date dairy product infested refridgerator. Or how about stir fry, fajitas, or other meals drenched in a maranade that continues to be absorbed and only gets better as the flavor soaks. I would give anything to have left over stir fry right now (except my mouth because that would defeat the purpose of having stir fry in the first place).
• Cereal. Apparantly it's a good bed time snack... too bad I don't have the article I read to prove it.... Captain Crunch, Honey Bunches of Oats (all-time favorite), Lucky Charms, Fruity Pebbles, Trix, Berry Berry Kix, and Count Chocula are the best cereals on the market. Pick up a box anywhere that sells food, grab yourself a carton of milk (or if you live on a farm you could milk Ole Bessie in the barn if you want to), but don't forget a bowl and a spoon (big spoon)! Then you're good to go. Enjoy.
• Planning on watching a movie alone in your room while the rest of the neighborhood turns out their lights and snuggles up with their teddy bears, tucked away under their comforters? Popcorn could be the right choice for you! Or maybe you just want something salty? Or you like to hear the popping sound while the bag revolves around and around in the microwave? Or you just plain old like popcorn. No matter what your reasons are for choosing the buttery snack, you must be aware that it is not a quiet choice, nor is it the healthiest. But, I'm sure you are well aware of this information so I  shouldn't even bother with a warning. Just know that if you get busted, I will not take the fall for you.
• Are you one of the millions of people with a horrible disease called Sweet Tooth-itus? You are? Then you only need to hear two words before the savage beast, better known as your disease, takes over your mind, body, and soul: 1)chocolate 2)cake.
