Summer Camp Day 7 - Foods!

Day 7– What’s your favorite thing to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner? Do you read food blogs or would you ever consider writing one?

For breakfast there's nothing I enjoy more than some sausage gravy and home fries. Since meat and potatoes were two of a very small selection of foods I could enjoy while pregnant, this was a favorite. (Who am I kidding? It's always a favorite!) Technically, I don't eat and don't even like sausage. But for some reason, put it in some white gravy, and I go nuts.

For lunch hmm... I think I'd have to say that lunch is highly variable for me, and I like it that way. I work outside a lot, so my favorite thing is very dependent on the kind of weather in which I find myself. In hot weather, I love something fruit based or delicious chicken salad with a good Italian dressing. In cold weather, I prefer something like potato soup. (sensing a pattern with the potatoes?)

For dinner a favorite go to meal is a veggie or chicken soy based Asian dish. I don't much care which one. They're all delicious, though two of my regular favorites include Szechuan chicken and Mu Shu vegetable. I also love a good veggie pad thai or Filipino sinigang. My favorite meal of my family's is ham pot pie (except I don't eat the ham.) And no, this isn't a meat pie. In case you didn't know, that's a different thing altogether. This is pot pie... ingredients... dough... in a pot... on the stove. Pot pie. Homemade thick noodles and potatoes (shocker!) in a flavorful broth. Mmmmmmm.

I occasionally read food blogs. I adore food and love learning new recipes and looking at the beautiful photos of beautiful deliciousness. The only one I read regularly is Pioneer Woman's cooking section. Every single recipe I have tried of hers has been heavenly. And no, I would never food blog. I do not have the patience in the slightest. Nor do I have the time.

Join Calliope's Summer Camp in the Blogosphere to play along!

Foood! I love food porn! I love to cook,bake, experiment, but not clean up the mess. I also read the Pioneer Woman regularly.

Tortillas are for me what potatoes are for you. My fave breakfast is made thusly: top a warm flour tortilla with a generous serving of mashed blackeyed peas. Grate some cheddar on that, and add a layer of salsa. Heat that in a 200 oven for tenish minutes. Fry two eggs over easy or medium (depending on how much yolk you like, but it it better to have at least some yolk to drip on the beans), put them on the beans and cheese. Eat with a knife and fork (ie. dont tey rolling it up!), topped with salsa or chili garlic sauce or crema. Or all three.

For dinner I love any kind of meat wrapped in a tortilla with veggies and salsa. Also, we make a great salad: spinach, roma tomatoes, avocado, green onions, olives, cheddar, topped with very garlicky dressing.

I have actually been contemplating writing a food blog. I need to get better at photos though.
