Lol everyone likes different things I guess. Do you like peeps?
I love peeps!
So for the longest time, my fruit/vegetable consumption consisted of corn, green beans, potatoes, bananas, and applesauce. Not apples, but applesauce.
I've learned to like bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, even brussel sprouts cooked certain ways. I'll eat salad but really only with ranch and lots of croutons.
I don't do red sauce, no marinara for me. I'm not an onion fan and will pick around them if possible. I never cook with more than onion powder (it's a texture thing) so I've trained DH to chop them very fine so they cook down to almost nothing. He loves onions so I tell him he has to cut them if he wants them. I will only eat tomatoes in very teeny chunks in salsa or something.
As for ground beef, now I'm trying to buy it at Sam's always because it tends to be $2.50 to $2.90 a lb for 90/10... it seems the best price otherwise is $4/lb on sale. I haven't bought 80/20 in awhile now. I miss no tax on groceries back in NE.... not sure if that's still the case though. It makes a big difference!
I dont eat fish. I will eat shrimp cooked certain ways. I will eat crab and lobster, but it's not the big thrill to me it is to some so I dont go out of my way, and its typically in a soup or pasta. I have no desire to be deconstructing my food at the table lol. I just started eating meat loaf in the last few years. I used to eat my steaks med rare but cant anymore for the most part. I cant do pink in a burger after my schooling lol. I only buy boneless chicken breasts at the store, but I will only eat the drumsticks on fried chicken (and DH says I leave too much because I cant eat the stringy pieces anymore...). No wings for me.
I love sweets, but no fruit desserts. No fruit pies, pastries, sauces on my chocolate cake. No berries in muffins. I'm not a fan of whipped cream unless its homemade, so I'll either push it to the side or if it's a shake I stir it into the ice cream. The exceptions here are I love pumpkin pie and it must be served with a healthy scoop of cool whip-must be the midwesterner in me
I rarely use condiments. Occasionally ketchup. Dont do mustard, mayo, etc. I will put butter on a lunch meat sandwich to keep the bread from getting dry. I only started eating sour cream in the last few years. I love milk and cheese but no cottage cheese or yogurt for me. At least I do more BBQ and seasoning than I used to. I still dont add bbq sauce but will eat it at bbq places, like famous Dave's where its already on there. My mom used to only be able to put Lawrys Seasoning on my food at home
I know you all care dearly about my diet.
