... and chocolate cake for breakfast ... 3... 2... 1... Conniption!

Practical Magic?

Sometimes I get a hankering for a nice salad with craisins, carrots, tomatoes, bell peppers, apple chunks, etc. (I especially like mine with candied pecans thrown in for crunch).

Peaches, strawberries, cherries, gala apples (but not fujis, while my husband is the opposite on the apple front).

Broccoli and potatoes with a low-fat cheese sauce on top.

Bread. Especially Hubby's fresh-baked loaves. Craisin wheat muffins too.

... and chocolate cake for breakfast ...
3... 2... 1... Conniption!

Practical Magic?

My guess would be Bill Cosby.

I love dried fruit, especially craisins, sweet or savory I cannot get enough of those things. I also love really crunchy veggies like carrots, celery, or a really fresh cucumber.

(I also apparently like food that starts with a "c")

Also strawberries, but only English and in season.

Roasted broccoli. I ate so much of it I literally gave myself a slight sensitivity to broccoli!

[SongsOfDragons]

Cucumber. Trying to eat better, I've started having a good six-inch chunk as snacks as well as with meals.

This means I get through about...four of Sainsbury's large cucumbers a week. ^^

I think I was a kappa in a previous life.

Carrots with fennel.

I hate cooked carrots, and I hate fennel even more. Put them together and I turns into an addiction.

I'm surprised I don't have orange skin and perpetually smell like licorice now.

Salsa. The chunkier and spicier the better.

There is, in fact, a Mexican restaurant here where I live that will sell you a to-go cup of salsa from their salsa bar for a mere $5 and it's worth every penny. If you get their basic salsa, which has a wonderful flavor and isn't all that hot, and take it home and let it sit in the fridge for a day, the colder it gets in temperature the hotter it gets in flavor -- all while retaining that wonderful flavor. In the past I'll have gotten a cup of it and will be eating it once it's nice and cold, and someone will see me sitting there munching and weeping and happy as a lark about it.

Sushi. Oh, sushi.

Crab. Yummy. Best thing to ever come out of the sea. Lobster? Meh, it's okay. Crab is KING!

Green beans. LOVE them! Favorite veggie ever. In all it's forms.

Peaches. Can eat them until my face is literally covered with their sweet juice! Favorite fruit ever! (Too bad we can't get peaches for shit in either Key West or Phoenix.....)

Salads. Love salads. I have been known to eat a 2 pound salad on occasion.....

Tuna. In all its forms, from steaks to canned.

Tomatoes. Oh, glorious tomatoes. LOVE them!

Mustard. "Wait, what? Mustard isn't healthy food!" Actually, it kinda is. No fat, so makes a great alternative to mayo if you're looking to cut down on fat, and mustard has been linked to as many health problems as I have supermodel wives: none! And there are so many wonderful variations of it, too! Gulden's Deli Mustard is my go to mustard, but will try all different kinds, and will (in a pinch) even settle for basic yellow mustard.

I love dried fruit...

Dried apricots. I blame my grandmother for this, as she always had them around when we'd be at her house. I will quite literally eat dried apricots until I am sick.

[Teysa]

That reminds me. I love dried apricots and peaches too. Maybe I'll pick some up next time I go to the store.

[Victory Sabre]

I love hot sauce. If I have a salad, I don't use dressing, I use hot sauce.

[MoonCat]

Chobani Greek yogurt. Seriously addicted to this stuff. I never liked yogurt at all until I tried this brand. The vanilla one is better than ice cream! And it's all fat free. Yummmmm.....

And tomatoes. I MUST have tomatoes. Good ones, though, which usually means waiting until late summer and/or growing my own, because the little red golf balls they sell in supermarkets don't deserve to be called tomatoes.

[XCashier]

Cherries (particularly Bing cherries), strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, marionberries, peaches. I am very happy when summer hits here and the local produce stands have these lovely items in abundance!

Nuts of all varieties. Lots of hazelnuts grow out here, and I love them! Cashews, I could take or leave, but everything else, yummy!!!

Chinese-style green beans, where they're stir-fried with bits of garlic. Crunchy and delicious!
