best late night snack

For the last year I've had to watch what I eat after 8pm ish or I get really bad heart burn :(. My go to is peanuts in the shell.
 
Maybe, about 7 or so years ago, I would sometimes get the hunger`s well after dinner, and I`m sure my selection would make normal heath minded, elevated in age, folks freak out !!

How about a pound (pre-cooked of course) pack of thick sliced bacon, or sausages, (links, or patties,) + 4 extra large jumbo eggs sunny side up, or scrambled, and if feeling really adventurous 3/4 pack of Johnsonville Italian sausage (mild, or sweet ) broiled in the convection oven, and washed down any of it with a big glass of very cold whole milk, or half & half..

Then to polish off that heathy late night snack afterwards.. a couple of G & T`s with a Winston or two before hitting the sack to listen my arteries creak and moan, being I was around 54 years old !!

Good stuff then, but I don`t do that anymore, not for heath concerns, mind you, doing so sometimes screwed with my sleep !!
WOW the OP said a snack !!! LOL :rflmao:
 
Deli baloney (Beef), Extra Sharp Chedder Cheese (sharpest available), Ritz Crackers. Or, substitute baloney with Italian Dry Salami.


Lately though, no crackers (cut carbs). Tonight, I just took the edge off with some pre-shelled organic walnuts and some sharp chedder. I could eat a block the size of a car battery. Problem is, on exit it would be the size of a car battery and twice as hard.

Get some Go-Gurts or any yogurt in a tube and put them in the freezer. Once they are frozen snip the top off a tube and you have a frozen yogurt push pop. They make a great little fruity snack that also satisfies the sweet tooth. Get the low-fat variety and its also a fairly healthy snack as well.
 
Damn....you guys are a BAAAAAD influence.... :)
Just woke up (I tend to sleep in 2-hour shifts lately), and it`s been 8 hours since dinner, so I was hungry ! There was about a half a pint of roast pork Lo Mein in the fridge, so I heated it up, and quick-poached an egg (crack into a small bowl with a half cup of cold water, and nuke for 1 minute), topped the lo mein with the egg, and had a nice little snack !
 
Big bowl of popcorn most nights, but always popped from kernels in the µwave, never the bagged stuff. It's amazing the things you can put on popcorn, from a drizzle of olive oil and salt, to caramel syrup to the same spice rub you might put on a roast. You can coat it with hot pepper sauce, dump cheese of different types on it or just eat it plain. Or, with butter of course.
 
I sometimes have the late night snack that my late father enjoyed. Fresh hearth bread with butter and strawberry jam, topped with a thick slice of Havarti cheese.
He was born in Denmark and never lost his love for open faced sandwiches (or cheese!!)
