There is nothing better than getting home on a Saturday night out with friends and using your new found creativity to cook some of the best food of your life. Recreating these dishes on a Tuesday night for a regular dinner may not be your best choice, but at the time this late snack could not be better.
1. Dressed up mac and cheese.
The only thing better than some boxed mac and cheese is boxed mac and cheese with extra spices and cheese. Add some fresh parmesan, grated cheddar and oregano. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you.
2. Boxed Ramen with extra veggies.
Boxed Ramen is never a bad choice, but add some cooked peppers and onions as well as an egg to it and you have some almost authentic Ramen.
3. A spoonful of peanut butter with chocolate chips.
Sometimes you want dessert, but you don't have the energy to make a full-blown dessert. Get yourself a spoonful of peanut butter and sprinkle some chocolate chips on it. Gourmet.
4. Grilled cheese.
I love cheese more than anything. You can never have a bad grilled cheese. It can be made with white bread and an american cheese single or some bakery bread and the best brie you have. Add some tomato slices or bacon and you will be in late night heaven.
5. Bagged french fries.
Go to the supermarket right now and buy some bagged french fries from the frozen foods section. Sprinkle them with a little sea salt and enjoy. I once made french fries for a gathering with my friends and I was the hero of the party for a good 15 minutes.
6. Breakfast food.
Eggs, pancakes, french toast, cereal. Whatever you want. You can never go wrong with breakfast. Pro tip: make some french toast and spread a little Nutella on it and your life will never be the same.
7. Cheese and crackers.
As I said before, cheese is the best food ever. I love cheese. I will eat cheese at any time of the day for any occasion. My favorite combination is maple bacon, Gouda and Ritz crackers.
8. Ice cream.
Straight out of the carton. Don't bother dirtying a bowl. Just grab a spoon and eat until you hit the bottom of the pint.
9. A makeshift pizza.
It might be two in the morning. You may not be able to order delivery. Grab an English muffin, some pasta sauce and whatever grated cheese you can find. You can use a bagel or some pita bread if you don't have any English muffins!
10. Chicken wings.
Buy some chicken wings before you go out or pick them up on the way home. Enjoy the saucy, delicious, crispy mess that chicken wings are.
11. Mozz sticks.
There is a theme emerging: cheese. Always cheese. Hot, gooey mozz sticks will never wrong you, unlike your ex that has decided to start sending you the "you up?" text at two in the morning.
Throw your health kick out the window and enjoy your late night snacking!
