Ingredient households refer to the ones where the parents don’t keep actual snacks around, just the ingredients for snacks — so instead of cookies, you get used to eating a spoonful of peanut butter pressed into chocolate chips or, in the case of this girl dinner, instead of Doritos, you eat plain tortilla chips with cheese melted over them.
