DAY 11 - 10 FAVORITE FOODS

I LOVE FOOD!!!!!!  I mean I really love food.  My waist line tells it too.   I am working on having a healthy lifestyle, but that's another blog for another day.  😉  I am going to list some of my favorite foods below.  They are:

1.  Lemonade - This is my favorite drink.  I prefer to have this before any other drink out there.  When I go out to eat, this is the drink that I always ask for.  If not then, I'll settle for a sprite which is my next favorite.

2.  Soda - My favorite soda is ginger ale and sprite.  These are the sodas that I will ask for if a restaurant does not have lemonade (see #1.)  I really don't like dark sodas, but will drink one if I am craving it and I have to be craving it.

3.  Shellfish - I love shellfish, not all shellfish, but most.  My preference is shrimp, steamed or fried oysters, calamari, mussels (not in a shell), and did I say shrimp?  LOL  I don't know why I love shellfish, but I do.  It is the taste of it.  Matter of fact, my next favorite will tell you why.

4.  Pasta - I love pasta.  My favorite pasta dish is seafood pasta.  I love making this for my family and they love eating it besides my husband's lasagna, which is really good.  So, we love pasta.  I do have to watch how much pasta I eat because it sticks to me like glue, but it is soooo good.

5.  Chocolate - I LOVE CHOCOLATE, especially when auntie flo is visiting.  Women you know what I'm talking about.  Chocolate just makes me feel good and it gives me some type of satisfaction.  I don't know what it is, but it really does.

6.  Ice Cream - This is one of my favorite deserts.  Does it really need an explanation?  I didn't think so.

7.  Mangoes - During late spring, summer, and early fall, I like to eat fresh fruits.  My favorite is mangoes.  Del Monte sells it in a jar and it is peeled and sliced.  I like that because it don't have to do all the work and it is less messy; however, I don't really mind the mess as much anymore and when I buy a fresh one, it is cheaper.

8.  Carrot Cake - Now, before I say this is my favorite, there are some stipulations for this.  I like homemade carrot cake, preferably, my grandmother.  Unfortunately, she is deceased and has been for awhile.  However, I have found a place that makes one that comes extremely close to hers and that is saying alot because she made hers from scratch and I do mean literally from scratch.  The restaurant's carrot cake comes an extremely close second to her carrot cake.  I think they make there cake the same way.  The are known for their cakes.  If you want to know the name of the restaurant let me know.

9.  Sweet Potato Pudding - For those of you that do not know what sweet potato pudding is, you are truly missing out.  You need to google the recipe or find someone's grandmother that fixes it and beg or pay them to make you one from scratch.  LOL  Luckily, my mom knows how to make this and it is one of my favorite deserts during the holidays.  That's pretty much the only time I can get her to make it.  This with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on it, is devine!  Trust me, either pay someone or try and make it yourself.  You want regret it, if you make it correctly.

10.  Cheesecake - I really like cheesecake.  I love the cheesecake factory's vast variety of selections.  My sister also knows how to make one.  Her's is really rich and creamy.  You definitely need a cold glass of milk with hers, but it is so good.

So, as you can see, nothing on my list is all that healthy, but I know I can have these things, but in moderation and that is what I am now trying to teach myself.  LOL  Share your favorites in the comment sections.  I would love to know what they are and while you're at it, don't forget to subscribe to the blog so we can talk about other topics.  I would love to know what ya think.  Okay, talk to ya soon.  Later Gator!  TBJ
