Nacho Therapy: Cheddar Through the Tears

There are two kinds of people in this world: those who cry quietly into a pillow, and those who channel their grief into a casserole dish of molten cheese and carbs. On Good Grief Day, I say: why not both? Grab a blanket, your finest tortilla chips, and that emotional baggage you’ve been ignoring since 2017 — we’re making nachos that double as therapy.

First step: embrace the meltdown, literally. Melt your cheddar like your sanity in a microwave after a long week. Add jalapeños for the things you can’t control, black beans for the things you can, and a drizzle of sour cream for your attempts to fix both. Every layer is a coping mechanism. Don’t skimp on the cheese; you’ve earned this catharsis.

When the oven timer dings, you’ll find yourself staring at a bubbling, beautiful mess that somehow makes sense — much like life itself. Take a bite, let the crunch drown out your inner monologue, and remember: even the saddest days can taste like victory when covered in queso.

Good grief, Charlie Brown. Pass the napkins.
