She’s back! The new season of Netflix’s “Queer Eye” premieres tonight, July 19, meaning you better start prepping couch-friendly, delicious snacks that taste better with your tears and will last you several hours. Preaching the bible of ‘Yas Kween’ and self-love, the Fab Five, all experts in, well, life, has a particular knack for making fans cry multiple times throughout an episode, breaking down cultural barriers and making people realize, “You’re right Tan, I do matter and I DO deserve this French Tuck.”
Below, we’ve got your emotionally supportive snack list covered—controversial Antoni recipe moment included. Just remember, “You’re strong, you’re a Kelly Clarkson song, you got this.”

You literally cannot mention the “Queer Eye” reboot and food without mentioning the recipe otherwise known as Greek Yogurt and Guac-gate 2018. (ICYMI: Cooking expert Antoni Porowski advised putting delicious Greek yogurt into guac to snazz it up and the world lost their freaking minds, inspiring too many clap back articles about Antoni’s cooking skills to count.) He uses avocado and a bunch of fresh cilantro in nearly every recipe no matter whose kitchen he’s in, so this classic guac recipe will quench your cravings as you sob your way through each person having their own self-discovery moment post-makeover.

These five men are constantly serving the tea, sipping the tea and spilling the tea, henny. The guys are all about living your truth and knowing that the truth (and some good product) will set you free, so these light and healthy tea sandwiches are a must. Plus, you can use the leftover cucumbers to de-puff your eyes while you dream of having JVN’s skin and self-confidence. #selfcare Get our Cucumber, Hummus, and Lemon Tea Sandwiches recipe.

Delicious hot, cheesy dips should be legally required in order to watch anything that’s going to make you emotionally unstable for 45 minutes. The “Queer Eye” men are all about taking something simple and elevating it a bit, like this artichoke dip recipe that uses Gruyere instead of a more classic cheddar. They do this time and time again, whether it’s via Bobby’s clean lines only interior design magic or Tan’s fancy sneaker suggestions. Get our Cheesy Artichoke Dip recipe.

It’s no secret all of the “Queer Eye” guys are so sexy they’re basically on fire. But do we all remember when culture guy Karamo nicknamed the hottest firefighter on the planet ‘Superman’ in the final episode of season 1? What better way to pay homage the Fab Five and breakout fireman character Micah than with a heaping bag of the hottest snack around. Just make sure to lick your fingers BEFORE wiping those tears. Also, add some slices of avocado for good measure.

The first two seasons of “Queer Eye” take place in Georgia, and even though they’ve moved on to other locales, we must lace in a peach-related food somewhere here in homage. I have a feeling you’re not going to make a peach cobbler to binge watch a show (here’s a Peach Cobbler recipe just in case) and it’s scientifically proven to be impossible to enjoy a weepy binge-watching session without some kind of gummy candy. So Trolli’s peach gummy rings it is. With each chew, you can remember how the Fab Five represented the LGBTQ community with pride as they fell headfirst into somewhat socially conservative Georgia, often battling demons of their own.

French tuck is probably the most used phrase of this entire franchise, which is why we need French something. This recipe is giving me ‘I’m my own Seamless’ vibes and I’m loving it. “Queer Eye” is nothing if not learning to allow moderate indulgence for the better of yourself and, dare we say it, humanity. Not that these fries are going to better you, but you can certainly appreciate yourself AND your soft whimpering while watching what already appears to be an epic season. Get our French Fries recipe. (And instead of the predictable ketchup side, consider dipping them in the Jones sisters’ BBQ sauce because you know you’re still not over that episode from last season.)

It’s a cliche for a reason. Just like peacocks are unofficial emotional support animals, chocolate is an unofficial emotional support food. Plus, chocolate is the perfect crying-friendly food, second only to caramel—salted caramel, ever heard of it? If there’s one snack that will get you through episode after episode of gut-wrenching makeovers, it’s your old friend Hershey’s. Not convinced? Here, look at this smokin’ pic of Antoni eating a Toblerone.

One of the sweetest episodes of the entire “Queer Eye” reboot so far was the first episode of Season 1, “You Can’t Fix Ugly.” The Fab Five took the inventor of the ‘Redneck Margarita’ (Mountain Dew and tequila…*shivers*) and turned him into a class act gentleman. Teaching straight and gay, women and men to embrace their inner beautiful fabulousness and live their truth is what these guys do best and also what makes us cry…Every. Single. Time. We’ll take this marg with our own salty tears, please. Get our Perfect Margarita recipe.

Because Antoni is obsessed. And honestly, so are we.

It’s a good thing I went to the dentist yesterday because my teeth were *somewhat* prepared for the sugar bomb that went off during today’s Chub Chub Chowdown segment on the Taylor Strecker Show. What a delicious Friday morning! I’m not sure how many hours in the gym it’s going to take to burn off these calories, but was it worth it? Absolutely. In fact, I’m diving head first into that orange creme cake as soon as I get home.
Check out everything we sampled below. You’re welcome. Seriously.
Calling all allergy sufferers! We were shocked by how much these seeds actually taste like peanuts. In fact, we’d love to try them in butter form, combine with jelly, and make a classic “PB”&J sandwich. The only thing off-putting was that some seeds were more roasted than others, but this is a perfectly suitable afternoon snack with a quick protein fix.
Norman Love holds an extremely special place in my heart. His factory is in Fort Myers, Fla., just north of where I grew up in Naples, and these chocolates have been a constant during significant life moments. He even launched the G Line when I was working at Godiva at age 17. It comes as no surprise that his newest flavors are amazing (standouts include: Peanut Butter Marshmallow, New York Cheesecake and Passion Truffle). If you find yourself in Southwest Florida, be sure to stop in and try his equally delicious pastries and cakes. You won’t be disappointed.
Sure, the first two ingredients may be sugar and corn syrup, but there’s no denying that this limited edition batch of popcorn is damn delicious and dangerously addictive. We may actually like it better than the O.G. Cracker Jack, which means they should really consider making this a permanent member of their line-up. A sweet tooth can dream, right?
We really appreciate Larabar’s commitment to pure and simple ingredients (eight or less, to be exact), especially with its latest protein bar line, but these kind of fell short in the taste department. There’s something about the nut and pea protein blend that gives these a gritty texture and dry mouthfeel. Larabar purists will either love or hate them, so you’ll have to buy them and try for yourself!
We’re not the hugest fans of orange-flavored anything, but if you’re the opposite and are looking for something sweet and decadent, this is absolutely the seasonal cake for you. It’s moist, it’s zesty, and the layers help to create a truly beautiful and colorful slice. We’ll just stick to their famous caramel variety, though. Nothing can compare.
Bonne Maman is truly the authority when it comes to fruit spreads and their Intense line doesn’t disappoint. We love that you can get actual chunks of fruits, as well as seeds, in each bite. Raspberry will always be our favorite, though Red Fruit was a pleasant departure from tradition. Tasty!
Wow! We may have just found our new favorite candy bar! These were really, really good, and we’re huge fans of their yummy flavor varieties (nut and caramel may be better than an actual Snickers bar). Those looking for smaller indulgences will be happy to know that these come in different sizes, so you can cheat with half the guilt.
