My fave foods, perfect for a random Wednesday

I like to eat. I like to cook. And I like to dine at restaurants. Therefore, there is a lot of food in my life. And I dig it. But there are some that I dig more then others…some I downright crave. Some are a little off the wall but I own it and that’s all that matters! In no particular order:

1. Avocados (on salads, guacamole, etc)
2. Shrimp (I have a very yummy lime and garlic shrimp taco recipe)
3. English Muffins (bagels are too filling, make me want to take a nap)
4. CHEESE (that’s pretty much all I need to say)
5. Caprese Salad (with fresh basil, a little salt and pepper, some olive oil, some balsamic…DELICIOUS)
6. Hummus (with carrots, celery…pretty much anything crunchy)
7. Pretzel bread (this is like kryptonite for Fitz and I- we always eat the ENTIRE loaf in one evening!)
8. Milk chocolate (no matter how many times I’ve tried it, dark chocolate just doesn’t do it for me)
9. Turkey burgers (I make really good turkey burger sliders with pepperjack cheese and BBQ sauce)
10. Salmon (It’s what’s for dinner…especially when steamed in the dishwasher)

Keep in mind this list changes every day. Possibly every hour, because right now I’m wondering how almonds didn’t make this list??!! Hmmm….

And now, I present to you my top ten favorite junk foods. Foods that are so friggin bad for you that I’m practically gaining weight just thinking about them. Yet again, in no particular order:

1. McDonalds Chicken Nuggets (I’m pretty sure the chicken’s beak and feet are blended into the mix but I can’t deny it…they are yummy in my tummy)
2. French fries (particularly the truffle fries at MK in Chicago…heaven)
3. BLT (or anything with bacon really)
4. Fitz’s cheesy chips (he pretty much just melts cheese on chips but it’s really tasty)
5. Pizza. Pizza. Pizza. (It never gets old. It only gets better)
6. Soft serve ice cream (better if it’s fro yo but then it wouldn’t really be junk food would it?)
7. McDonalds Breakfast (How the hell did this place show up twice on this list?? Keep in mind I eat fast food MAYBE four times a year)
8. Margaritas (Yeah, I know they’re not a meal, but they contain about 800 calories and that is the equivalent. Pass the salt!)
9. Jalepeno poppers (so so so bad for you. so so so good. actually best when hungover!)
10. Grilled cheese (a childhood classic…that is now an adulthood classic, I suppose)

Did I forget anything?
