Default What are your favorite foods?

Diabetes aside... What are your favorite foods?

My favorite meal used to be a whole pinto bean burrito with a side of beans
and rice. Obviously I don't eat that now.

I still love beans though. All kinds.

I used to love pecan pie until I discovered how many calories are in it.
Haven't had that for many years. I have heard that a piece of date pressed
between two pecan halves tastes the same. I haven't tried it though.

I love potatoes. All ways but especially mashed.

I love popcorn if it is freshly popped. Occasionally I want butter on it
but usually not. Just pan popped in coconut oil with some Real Salt on it.
Sometimes I think I want microwave popcorn. It often smells good. I got
Angela some Orville Redenbacher Natural from Costco. It says there is
nothing but salt on it but obviously not. The bag comes out oily. I like a
few pieces of that. But then it takes on a weird flavor.

I love all kinds of peppers, but perhaps not the super hot ones. I like a
little heat but not too much.

I love onions! I put them in pretty much everything.

I love most kinds of olives.

I love green beans. Especially straight from the can, eaten cold.

I like carrots and celery. Perhaps not quite as much as the other things,
but enough to eat quite a lot of them.

I like most kinds of cheese.

I like bacon if it is crisply cooked.

I like tomatoes, both cooked and raw.

I like cranberries.

I like grapefruit.

Sometimes I like apples.

I like raw pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts and Brazil nuts. Sometimes raw
cashews. But never roasted ones. For some reason they are too oily.
Sometimes I like peanuts but other times I don't.

As you can see, my list is mostly carbs.
