Insomnia Cookies and Grey’s Anatomy Thirteen seasons. That is how long the hit ABC show has been airing and from the looks of it, has no chance of stopping. For some of you, you might be all caught up on the life and times of Dr. Harriet Grey and her coworkers. For you folks that are not, be ready for some emotional ups and downs along the way. The best way to deal with this rollercoaster of a show? Sugar, of course. Specifically, cookies and ice cream from Insomnia Cookies. Take it from my mother, you are going to want some rocky road next to you with a couple sugar cookies on the side to get you ready for what this show will throw at you. pexels.com 3. Pizza and Friends Odds are, you know someone (maybe even yourself) whose favorite show is Friends. Ross, Rachel, Monica, Joey, Chandler and Phoebe. A gang as classic as any ever in a TV show. What better way to watch a classic show with a classic food? Pizza is there for you, just as your friends are and just as Friends are too. Furthermore, pizza was a staple of the show. Not sure about you, but whenever I see food in a show or movie, I immediately need to acquire said food. No need to worry about seeing Joey Tribbiani scarf down a slice of New York style pizza and get jealous when you have a full pie all to yourself. Tell them not to skimp on the pepperoni. pexels.com 4. Noodles and Company and Stranger Things Stranger Things is a hot new sci-fi series on Netflix about, well, a bunch of strange things.
