Food in a Cup = FIAC

Today at work, I was talking with my boss about food, and she accused me of having a thing for food in a cup. I can't tell a lie, this is true. Food in cups is the dreamchild of college students and the creator of the microwave. Sadly, one of my favorite foods does not come in cup form yet, and that is Betty Crocker's Suddenly Pasta Salad. DELISH. However with no stove, I cannot make said pasta goodness, and because I cannot have it, I lust after it frequently. Anyway, here are some of my favorite foods in a cup. Do I endorse them? Hell yeah! I'm not even getting paid, haha.


1. Easy Mac





Oh so delectable, Easy Mac became even easier by including the needed bowl in order to make it. Plus, there's an incredible variety of flavors! Just today, I learned that there's a mexican/taco flavor.

2. Stove Top Stuffing Cups

Stuffing is on my top 10 list of favorite foods, but until this fall, I could only eat it at Thanksgiving when ma momma makes it. BUT NOW all it takes is a splash of water and 45 seconds in the microwave, and voila! Instant stuffing! I vote for mashed potatoes and gravy in cups as well.


3. Pudding/jello




It's basically the same thing, so you're getting one pic. Imagine the chocolate parts are really tropical fruit colors and it's Jello. Anyway, this is a classic FIAC (food in a cup), my hunch is that it was the pioneer FIAC. A zillion years later, it's still low cal and yummy.

4. PearsCall me an old lady, but these are just the handiest little fruit servings ever! I buy them compulsively, and then don't eat them, so endorsing them probably wouldn't be the best thing. However, on the occasion that I'm craving fruit and I ran out of bananas, they do the trick

5. Healthy Choice Fresh Mixers

Okay, okay. So I know this isn't technically a cup, it's more of a bowl. However, it's amazing, so I'm going to count it. It doesn't need to be refrigerated, and it's one of the tastiest FIAC I've come across. Healthy Choice in general is becoming one of my favorite food brands, since I'm trying to less of a fat kid. I'm a fan of the mixer pictured, Southwestern Style Chicken, and of their Sweet and Sour Chicken. Mmm... chicken.

There you have it. My favorite FIAC. So all you poor college students, or anyone who doesn't have a fridge, but has a microwave, go crazy the next time you go grocery shopping!

In other news, I'm a bad girlfriend. I have now forgotten two days in a row to mention that Tuesday was my 1 year anniversary with Bill! It seems kinda crazy that it's been a whole year. Anyway, happy belated anniversary (hey, at least I told him over the phone!) to Billfriend and I!
