It's I don't know, I just like everything about it. I like the color, I like the texture, I like the taste. So I love the mix of sweet and salty together. So this mix is raisins, white chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, butterscotch chocolate chips, peanuts, almonds, cashew halves, and then I add in pumpkin seeds too, because I like the texture and the saltiness of the pumpkin seeds. A lot of people think it's really weird
Unbelievable. So those are my, I guess, two or three things. All the rest of it is just stuff that I always love to eat. You know what I mean? A lot of my friends like, we ate so much of that when we were young. I don't want to eat it no more. Creamy oatmeal with a half a stick of butter and a whole cup of sugar. Sometimes real thick. But, yeah, that's just a couple of things

You. Okay, so I have so many questions about this. Thank you for contributing, because this just intrigued me so much. Mike, how in the world did you ever think to eat raisins and milk? It sounds delicious. Because I love raisins and I love milk. Also, by the way, I have to say, I'm a huge Cream of Wheat fan as well, so I totally feel you on that

So I definitely can't wait to make Cream of Wheat again and do the half and half. I do like the butter and the sugar in it, for sure. So I'm excited sometimes with my Cream of Wheat. I always add cinnamon to it. And then funny, believe it or not, sometimes I add raisins to it. So this is great. Thank you so much for sharing. I appreciate it

It's yogurt with dried fruit. That's interesting. I've never thought about using dried fruit. I have eaten it before with fresh fruit. And I'll tell you, it didn't work out because I didn't like all the mush. Right? It was like the mush from the yogurt, but then the mush and the juice from the actual fruit, even if I strained it. So this is a new take on that

Having the sweet and salty mix is chef's kiss perfect. Well, sometimes when we go to the movies or something, look for some Eminems in our popcorn. Caramel corn is great too. Yeah, potato chips. But as I said in my last video, I like baked chips. Zaps are one of my favorite. They're from New Orleans and Cape Cod. See for breakfast, something that I like that might be controversial. I like locks on my bagels, like smoked salmon

It's. Okay. So I love so much of what you said here. Number one, I love cottage cheese with fruit. It's so good. I really like cottage cheese with peaches. And honestly, I love cottage cheese with just, like, salt and pepper on it, especially if I just need a quick click pick me up. I love it. My family loves spam. I'm not a spam fan

But there's some japanese hawaiian food that has spam spam subi or is that japanese? I don't know. But I like it now. When you get some grits, you can get the grits from don't get instant grits. Instant grits are an abomination. I still eat them but it's not good. If you're going to eat grits, make sure you don't get instant and you make it with a lot of butter. Butter goes good with everything
You. Hey. And happy Saturday. You and I are on the same boat because I love the taste of sweet and salty things. I forgot, when did I discover this delicious combination? But it's Mike. Ever since I started eating sweet and salty things, I have been in love with trying different sweet and salty combinations. And so far, it never failed me. That recipe for your own trail mix, your own type of trail mix actually seems to be pretty awesome
Carly D
@Astroality · 1:18
It. I am so glad this inspired you, because let me tell you what, you're right. Sometimes when you start a journey to try to eat better, make better choices, right, it can be very expensive. Especially if you try to buy, like, a bag of trail mix in the store. It's insane

I've heard other people say they do the same thing. And now you can buy bacon that's brown sugar flavored and stuff like that. So it's not anything radically different. But, yeah, the sweet and salty mixture, I do like sweet and salty together. And so at first, I didn't understand why people ate chicken and waffles, but now I totally get it. It's something about that sweet and salty mixture
Carly D
@Astroality · 0:55
I know, and I never buy, like, the maple flavored bacon. I always buy the regular bacon. But you are so right. That is, like, one of the best breakfast combos. I do love chicken and waffles, though. My brother lives in California, and they have this place called Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles. Best chicken and waffles I have ever had. And they're like these little hole in the wall places

When you make eggs, the next time you make eggs, top it with sriracha and soy sauce. And it's a real tantalizing to your taste buds because the eggs are like scrambled eggs. They're kind of creamy. They're not cream in them, but they don't have too much extra flavor. But then you're shot with this spicy sriracha. A little bit of sriracha has some garlic in it, and then the saltiness of soy sauce. And here's another one, bacon and nutella
Carly D
@Astroality · 0:57
Yeah, I just went hard and pay on it today, and I'm so glad that I did. It is amazing. For sure going to do the bacon nutella this weekend or this week. And for sure going to do the sriracha soy sauce on scrambled eggs. Sometimes I like to have breakfast for dinner. So this is awesome. I'm so excited to try these, but I do really need to know the situation. Like, how did you discover bake and with nutella with chili powder?

@JordanTepper · 2:14
All right, carly, I'm so glad that you liked the London fog. It's a game changer, I tell you. Having it with the coconut milk, I think, just adds a little bit more depth. The story behind the nutella and bacon, we were having a potluck at work, and I need to up my game, and I was known to bring in, not just Mike, a dip
Carly D
@Astroality · 0:36
Yes, I love this, and I love that you're, like, I needed to up my game. That is so competitive, but also so awesome. And look at that. Then you found this mike amazing creation. I cannot wait to make this. I probably, in all honesty, won't make it till the weekend, but I will for sure keep you posted. And yes, the London Fog is a game changer. Like, so happy that you shared that with me
