I love that you beefed up these fan faves instead of just completely remaking it. You know? Like I don’t want a pop tart “alternative” I want a god damn pop tart lol
Facts lol I love when she does these
Bitch it tastes the same
🤣🤣🤣
Amen!
I am currently in recovery for anorexia, and seeing you make these hunger crushing combos makes me so happy! It is making me see that healthy is more than just low cal or low sugar. Gives me hope that I can enjoy food that I want while being healthy! Thank you for what you do!
You got this, recovery buddy!!
Hope you're doing well♥️ stay safe and healthy.
Congrats on your recovery!🎉
Just watching her video 3/17/2024, I hope all is well with you & you are continuing with your health journey.
Easy Mac with a can of tuna and frozen green peas was legit as close to a “complete meal” as I ever got in college.
Same!
Yup I do the same with the Kraft dinner box.
Yes. Totally.
Same also did ground beef salsa in our house not as good for ya but so good
this is one of my favorite meals
watching this as I eat a "parfait" made from greek yogurt, bananas, peanut butter, and reese's puffs cereal lolol. I am a 23 year old with no children but sometimes you've had a long week, you're at the grocery store, and you find yourself reaching for the kids cereal!!
also want to note that I was lazy and was about to just have the cereal with some oatmilk but I heard Abbey in my head telling me to add more to make it a hunger crushing combo! I am a recovering binge eater and this mindset has been life changing for me :)
@@olinkaregules1904 Sounds like a great combo!
That sounds amazing!
@@olinkaregules1904 thanks for sharing! I'm watching with my own - with some teddy grahams and strawberries. The HCC videos are sooo helpful with recovery!
Watching a nutritionist normalizing all foods is so helpful, plus this is entertaining and the recepies are easy and pretty fast, and kids will love these. This video is gold, thank you Abbey 🥰
Yes because most dietitian on IG want you to limit processed foods all together, but never show how you can combine them into a HCC
Girrrl, NOTHING beats a sourdough grilled cheese. I actually do a half teaspoon of ghee and a half teaspoon of olive oil on each side. The oil helps with crisping up the toast to crunch perfection!
another craving unlocked
Totally!
The strudel was better for sure, but blueberry pop tarts have a special place in my heart.
I love blueberry poptarts so much!
Totally!
I love strawberry frosted pop tarts! Binged on 2 packs last night 😬 but omg they’re freaking so good with a glass of whole milk!
I loved the glammed up KD. I do something similar at home. My add ins are: rotisserie chicken, green peas, broccoli, nutritional yeast and either cream cheese or more sharp cheddar. Never thought of using cottage cheese which would be so good!
That sounds amazing!
i'm definitely gonna have to test out cottage cheese next time I make my glammed up mac & cheese!
I grew up in a household where my dad was a chef, so kd was always fancy if we made it, we would add cheddar cheese (fresh) and mozzarella for the perfect stretch. As I got older I started thinking of new things like cream cheese, some worked out some didn’t. Now I’m trying to up the protein and healthy fats!
These are so fun. Here are a few foods I'd love to see: PB&J, popcorn, eggs and bacon.
I think she did popcorn in her last video like this one
PB&J definitely is my fav food ever, I always add a banana on top w some cinnamon but it's also very delicious with cottage cheese on top. Really rec! In my opinion it's a hcc on its own :)
Popcorn is a pretty great snack but adding some nuts and fruit would be good too :)
Thanks for the suggestions!
Just add whole grain avocado toast to eggs and bacon, or if you’re being really decadent and having brunch, mini croissants and fruit. Just do it occasionally.
My grilled cheese favorite: sourdough bread, smoked turkey, a slice of aged Swiss, spread with seedless raspberry jam. Grill with butter.
I literally copy/pasted that into my Google Keeps account. Thanks.
This sounds delicious!!
That sounds divine!
Wowowowow
Yup screenshotted that lol
Team toaster strudel all the way!! lol - My mom always bought the ones with the cream cheese frosting because cheese is healthy... ahhh 90's nutritional education!
That sounds amazing!
Yes just like the cinnamon rolls with orange frosting 🧁 Fruit serving anyone 😅
A can of milk instead of a can of water to tomato soup makes it sooo much better 😋
I add some Minute rice, dried basil and Tabasco sauce...soooo good!
I cried a little watching the water go in!
Agreed!
Love these recipes, Abbey! You are really helping me balance my favorite foods with more nutritional-dense ones. On that note, do you think you could try this type of video again but with a vegetarian addition? I find that as a vegetarian my hardest goal is getting in enough protein that isn't eggs, tofu, or yogurt. You can only eat so much to get enough protein! Or just some fun high protein vegetarian/vegan recipes - naturally with that hunger crushing combo.
Beans and lentils!
I know you didn’t ask lol but here’s a recipe for protein pancakes:
150g cottage cheese
40g oats
1 egg
2 tbsp honey / sweetener (I usually add in flavour drops)
1/2 tbsp baking powder
Blend, then fry in butter/oil (bcs they might stick)
Obviously these aren’t a substitute for the real deal but if ur feeling creative and want to give it a go I’d definitely recommend 😂
Whole grains do contain some protein. Just check the labels for pasta,bread, and rice. Also certain non wheat pasta has a lot of protein.
Beans, lentils, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, Tempe, nut butters, protein powder! I tend to use the nut butters and protein powder for sweeter dishes (pancakes, smoothies, etc), I throw cottage cheese/greek yogurt in with veggies, to make sauces, or other meals, and I use beans as the base for a lot of my meals (tacos, burritos, mashed as a sandwich filling, chili, soups, hummus, quesadillas, etc). I also find Tempe has a great flavour for adding into sandwiches or using generally as a meat substitute.
Definitely recommend some chickpea/lentil pasta, it contains around 20g protein per serving and makes my life so much easier as I can just have it with some sauce/pesto and veggies
I feel like dipping a pop tart into Greek yogurt would be amazing...maybe have a little side of fruit and then you're set!
Set for chronic disease
Sounds incredible!
@@AbbeysKitchen I don't even like Pop Tarts usually but somehow I feel like a jammy pastry with that tangy and cold Greek yogurt would just be such a good combo!
@@RobertWadlow292and you're set for the ED recovery ward
@@bellenesatan Avoiding completely unhealthy almost nutritionally devoid food is in no way an ED
I truly adore these videos and this concept of hunger crushing combos! I have definitely used this mindset in my every day 💖
I would love to see more of these! I really like the idea of leveling up classic foods I've long given up on!
Abbey you looks so happy in this video. I can feel your energy and excitement from watching! ❤
I love this series. Please keep making more nostalgic/fear food upgrades!
That grilled cheese is so close to my favorite (was introduced to pesto grilled cheese on sourdough in college and my life was changed), BUT I “butter” the outside of the sandwich with mayonnaise! It gives a grilled cheese just the most perfect even light brown. Excellent.
Love these ‘turning your fear foods’ videos - will totally be putting nutritional yeast in my tinned tomato soup from now on!
Thank you for this! The pop tart calories scare me but seeing you enjoy them makes them actually less intimidating
I would love to see more videos like this- and more ideas for nostalgic foods turned into a healthier meal
I absolutely love and need this. Please please continue this series! It's incredibly helpful.
Hearing Abbey stir the Kraft Mac n Cheese was like the best childhood ASMR 😂 I always had to have tons of salt n pep on it. Also one of my favorite childhood treats was those Carnation breakfast bars. You can still find the breakfast drink powder but not the bars. Such powdery, chalky bars that were somehow appealing.
Thanks for the great HCC and the memories.
My hunger crushing Kraft meal: normal Kraft with whole milk and then on the side: steamed broccoli and rotisserie chicken. I’m not a big fan of stuff in my Mac n cheese or really mixing foods together.
Same here - for my daughters, I do Kraft mac and cheese with apples and a hot dog on the side, but I'd personally do steamed broccoli and chicken.
Me too💜
Sounds amazing!
These are my favorite videos of yours - I try the HCCs and talk about them with my own dietitian. Thank you for support ED recovery folks!
Going to the grocery and trying out the KD tonight! All of this food looks genuinely delicious, and I adore Abbey's attitude toward food. I love how she made it a point that she chose the sourdough because of a taste preference (I love sourdough too). It really is all about intention
i love this series! i would love to see a fast food edition!!
I loved this video!! Please make this a series ♥️
Omg! I LOVED this video!!!! I have a really hard time trying to find a balance, especially when I get home and I don’t feel like cooking, but this just gave me a few ideas!! Thank you so much and I Vite for more of these types of videos 😁
I’m so glad these videos have been helpful for you!
Yayy!! This is my favourite series of yours Abbey, thank you :))
😊❤️
As a non-American I hadn’t heard about these until UA-cam and 9Gag.. they seem very American/Canadian. 😄
You should be thankful that you don't have access to all the American junk foods. It pays to have LESS access to certain things.
My secret to healthy eating is to have plenty of healthy foods at home but no junk food. Healthy eating is the path of least resistance. This is one of the few times in life when it pays to be busy, lazy, or distracted.
The giving kids candy tasting pastries for breakfast thing seems very strange to me.
@@jasonhsu4711 So true! That’s also how I grew up, lots of healthy food, vegetables and fruits every day, nuts, not too much sugar, almost always freshly cooked… I never even had the chance to get used to eating junk food daily so I don’t crave that now like some others do.
Sure, I had ice cream, candy, or fries from time to time but not in masses so I still see it as a little treat to enjoy from time to time, but it never was something “normal” to eat. So no or little access to junk food is indeed the best that can happen to you. I, for one, am thankful to my parents for having mostly fresh and healthy food at home. I’ve seen enough people who didn’t grow up like that and think that healthy, high quality food is boring because they are so used to junk food…
Totally!
The Kraft with cauliflower florets and cottage cheese is so good too I just tried it! Filled me up way better than Mac and cheese alone
Genius. You're so talented Abbey!
your smile is absolutely bright this video, i can tell how much fun you're having with this video and all of the nostalgia
I used to fear my childhood favorite foods and meals. But nothing beats the feeling of goodness and nostalgia when I'm eating my childhood foods
These are my fav type of vids!! Great! Keep it coming Abbey!
I’m loving how fun your videos are Abby! Your personality is so uplifting
👍👍 this needs to be a series!
Your videos are so satisfying to watch. I could literally listen to you talk about food all day. It's actually calming to me. lol!
Abbey, this made me excited for the KD and the cinnamon toast. Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you for taking and adding to the full amount of the original foods. I feel like it could have easily been like "now break up HALF of a poptart..." or "just use the pasta from the KD box..." (but we all know that isn't KD lol). I'm so excited to try all of these, I eat these foods all the time still when I'm feeling lazy about cooking but always feel guilty knowing I'm not really getting the most out of the meal with protein or fruit&veggies
I love these videos! I’m pregnant and love seeing that I can eat the “bad” foods I want to get adequate nutrition!
Love you Abbey and everything you’re doing
Love it every time you make HCC videos! They're my favs!
I Loved this!! Thank you Abbey!
Thank you for this! Loved the ideas.
Obsessed with these recs!
So helpful and that Mac and cheese looks amazing and delicious! I love your reactions when you taste your creations, so fun!
Abbey, I can't thank you enough. I was starting to slip back into a restrictive mindset, even after so much work to eat intuitively. I was starting to feel trapped and frustrated. BUT then I saw your hack to put "fear foods" on the plate for your normal meal. That, combined with your "hunger crushing combo" has stopped me from slipping into restriction hell. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Please keep making these types of videos!!!
The KD makes me so happy. My mom and now me have the easy-dinner-when-I-just-can't go-to of Mac and cheese "cassarole." We just add frozen veggies, meat (usually ground beef/turkey/ or hotdogs) and something for flavor. Usually mustards or spicy queso or salsa... So good and so easy.
Sounds amazing!
OMG! All of these things! I honestly thought “cinnamon toast”, as we called it in my house, was just the fun toast mom gave us on Friday mornings. I honestly forgot about it until this video. And I always used to joke that grilled cheese and tomato soup was the best “old man” meal ever! Can’t wait to try these.
Pplll
I love putting kielbasa and frozen green peas in my Mac and cheese! Makes it so much more filling.
Yeessss I love this series!!
Spaghetti and meatball hunger crushing combo! Never realized that was a fear food of mine until recently.
yay for facing fear foods. i love eating things that i never though i could
Isn't spaghetti and meatballs already a hunger crushing combo? Carbs, protein, fat in the meat and parmesan and fibre in the tomato... Maybe you can use chickpea pasta for added protein and fibre, or swap out some of the noodles for zoodles. You can also enrich the tomato sauce with celery and carrots (finely chopped) - that's how the Italians do bolognese i think and it adds sweetness as well as fibre and nutrients!
These are my fav of your videos! Gotta love the hunger crushing combooosss!!
Omg I made the Mac and cheese and I was so skeptical about. i really thought it would change the taste of it but it made it even better! Instead of eating the entire box(like I used to lol) I did make 3 servings out of it and I was so full with one serving! 🤯 thank you!
This may be my favorite of your fear foods series so far! As a kid I preferred pop parts (especially brown sugar cinnamon) then as I got older switched to toaster strudel. But I definitely need to try that pop tart parfait! And I already love mixing veggies in with my mac and cheese, so I'll have to try your version too. Thanks again for the yummy meal/snack ideas and inspiration!
These videos are GREAT for when my ED brain kicks up 💜 thank you!
Ahh this is my favorite series! Thanks for another video! I second the request for a vegetarian edition just for more options 😊
Love this video, love the good mood.
You just earned yourself another subscriber. I’m obsessed with this idea 👏🏻.
I would love to see more recipes like this!!!❤️
That's it. I'm eating pop tarts for breakfast tomorrow! Thank you for those ideas! :)
Love it! ❤️
Thank you so much for this video!!! As someone in ED recovery who also never gained their taste and smell back after Covid (over a year ago!!) I have the hardest time with so any aspects with food and deciding what to eat.
I am someone with a big sweet tooth and not a lot of funds for food I rely so much on specific fruit and veggies but it’s even more difficult when I get these urges for the more processed and cheap foods and I feel so guilty about the idea of choosing “bad” food items. I’ve been doing so well with not letting my ED take the reigns and this video has made me feel more as ease and I guess normal in a way 😊 you’re the best Abbey!!!
I’m so glad these videos are helpful for you! ❤️
The vocal sound effects for buttering bread were absolutely wonderful.
I LOOVE these types of videos so much!! Creativity level💯 😍
THANK YOU TOASTER STRUDEL REPRESENTATION 🙌🙌🙌
I would love to see more of these!
A diner trick i learned for even toasting of the bread is to use mayo! The high oil content in it and spreadability really does the trick for that even crisp
Yess, definitely makes it supre crispy
My go to is smart KD with ground turkey/beef/whatever floats your boat. We called it taco casserole in my house growing up but my mom told me she originally made it when she forget that she had no meat for pasta sauce but have taco meat. So she skipped the tomato sauce and used the taco meat and added extra cheese. Sooo good and you get a bit more of a meal feeling if you add some veggies
I realize that my parents taught us a very healthy way to eat... I've never had any of these foods at home, so they're not nostalgic to me. But great video nonetheless, I LOVE the ideas.
Those toasts seems to die for! I also just tried your recipe for chickpeas cookie dough for my breakfast and it's absolutely amazing!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
LOVE the mac and cheese bit. I've been doing that for a while now, but I usually add some turkey or chicken sausage. It's so good for dinner.
This totally brought me back 🥺only then I could eat without pain.
I can't wait to try all of these. So many memories + my kid likes a lot of these same foods. Love me some cinnamon sugar toast. I have been bumping up the satiety lately by spreading some almond butter on the toast first, then cinnamon sugar, and then some hemp hearts. So good.
I love videos like this! Yes you can eat anything but eat some veggies and other whole foods too❤️❤️❤️ everything in balance❤️ I love your videos!!
Cinnamon. Sugar. Toast. Yes!!! That's my childhood summed up, right there :) There was always a small container of white AND brown sugar mixed with cinnamon ready to go in the cupboard. And then there was the "fancy" KD my Mom would make...made with onions, peas & grated old cheddar on top. Yum. Thanks for this food trip back in time!
I actually break up a warm poptart in my yogurt quite often, lol! I’ve crumbled it into my overnight oats before putting them in the fridge as well- they get all soft and jammy in the oats! Ugh, perfection 😍
I’m definitely doing the pop tart thing. So good
You are adorable, Abbey!
Love these, yes to pop tarts💕
Thank you! ❤️
I add a couple scoops of plain greek yogurt to my KD and it is sooooo good! Adds a bit of a tangy flavour PLUS tons of protein :)
ooh that sounds good! I've been getting into savory yogurt dips so I think I'd like that!
genius
BTW you are totally correct on the strudel. It was the little packet of frosting that did it for me! I loved the apple ones. BUT! For college dorm room lacking freezer--strawberry pop tarts and a cup of coffee were my morning jam :)
I am team Poptart! Brown Sugar Cinnamon lightly toasted!
I was thinking of nut butter with my cinnamon toast! Peanut butter on warm toast is sooooo good!
Such great ideas! Thank you!
One of my fav series!
😊❤️
S'mores and blueberry pop tarts for the win! And I never liked the stale pastry so it had to go in the toaster... Crunchy cookie texture 🤤
That avocado toast and cinnamon toast looks amazing 🤩! White beans mixed with avocado 🥑? Mediterranean diet approved! Great combos! Thanks, Abbey! I’m going to try that for breakfast this coming week.
Love this type of video!!
oh my god toaster strudels!! i havent thought about those in years but they were sooooo good!!
Such a good video! Making my fam the macaroni for an easy dinner tonight 🥰
These videos are always my favorite!
😊❤️
My favorite dress up for KD is madra's lentils (tastes like chili) and leftover shredded brussel sprouts. It's amazing!
I LEGIT can’t choose between Toaster Strudels and the Pop Tarts. They’re just SO GOOD! Both are such a throwback to simpler times. Thank you for another video of HCCs, they really help. Some foods I would love to see are: Nutella (my literal weakness 🤤) PB&J sandwiches 🥜 (or just PB in general), Sour Patch Kids and sweets, fries 🍟, Cadbury mini eggs, cake, donuts and pretzels 🥨. Lots of love and support! 🤍🤍🤍
Your grilled cheese story reminds me of a story I have about Kraft singles cheese. Once when I was about 5 years old, I decided that the cup of milk on the Kraft single package was a serving suggestion rather than telling you that it's made with real milk. So, I insisted that my mom make me a bowl of Kraft singles with milk poured on it - like, Sliced cheese cereal. 🤢 Because I insisted, she obliged and tried to make me at least eat a few bites before giving up after I realized that was not a good idea. 😅
The white beans were such a good idea! I’ve been trying to figure out how I can incorporate more protein in my avocado toast.
re jar opening: dish gloves are great for helping with grip. Also running a metal or plastic lidded glass jar under really hot water helps loosen it to turn because a) the metal and plastic expand faster than the glass and b) just barely enough hot water gets into the threads to loosen anything helping it stick together. just remember to wipe down the threads. I use both tricks often as joint issues make jar opening troublesome.
that grilled cheese looks fantastic. Ever tried peanut butter and honey sandwiches? quite tasty.
I always poke a knife in under the edges of the lid. It usually does the trick with minimal effort.
Awesome meal ideas ❤
I love the hum when you dipped the sandwich lmao. When I was pregnant cinnamon toast was one craving I cried for lmao, it was that serious
I needed this!
Abbey, thanks for sharing your expertise on turning some of our fav “fear foods” into hunger crushing combos. Today, I had Kraft Mac n cheese, loaded with broccoli and cauliflower…oh my heavens, so delicious!! It wouldn’t have even dawned on me to do this. I’ll never eat it the “old” way again!❤️
