Do you ever suffer from food burnout?

I have foods that I could happily eat every day to almost every day. Most
soups, toast, popcorn/popping sorghum, beans, olives... Although sometimes
when I make a big pot of soup I get pretty tired of it towards the end. I
have been trying to make smaller pots of soup and adding some different
veggies to them for the last little bit or perhaps changing the seasoning a
bit. That helps.

This time of year I think a lot of people get turkey burnout! Although we
like turkey, it is not a favorite food for any of us and I wouldn't want to
have to eat it for weeks on end as we sometimes seemed to do when I was a
kid. So I try to buy/make enough for 2-3 meals.

But now? I am having cranberry bread burnout. I love the stuff and after
getting the new loaf pan, the 2nd loaf came out perfectly. I couldn't ask
for more. The problem? I think it's just too rich. I like it. I love it.
But yesterday, halfway through eating a piece, I had to stop and I didn't
want any more. I am trying to eat another piece now. But I may well just
chuck the rest of the loaf into the freezer and take it out next week.

I would probably feel the same way about French onion soup, assuming I could
still eat it. Love the stuff but it is so rich, I would not want to eat it
every day. A few times a year is good.

Do you have any foods that you feel this way about?

Of course! I don't eat the same things day after day like you do, but
just last night we got burgers at a burger place my husband likes and
I couldn't finish mine. Don't get me wrong, it was delicious meat and
cooked perfectly but I got tired of eating it so I stopped.

I have my eye on a cranberry jam filled shortbread recipe. What's
stopping me is I'm the only person here who likes cranberries, so I'd
have to eat the entire thing and I only want a piece or two.

Yeah. My husband will eat cranberry salad but that's about it. I do like
it but it takes Jell-O and I don't really like to make it. Not cooking.
Just chopping and mixing. Not fun.

I would say that if you want "fun" then stay out of the kitchen and marry a comedian. Ahahahahahahaha.

I happen to think that most cooking and baking is indeed fun. I like
watching and in some cases, smelling the transformation of the food. Jell-O
is just a PITA.

I made probably twenty batches of Caprese salad this summer and haven't
had the urge to make any more since then!

I have foods that I could happily eat every day to almost every day. Most
soups, toast, popcorn/popping sorghum, beans, olives... Although sometimes
when I make a big pot of soup I get pretty tired of it towards the end. I
have been trying to make smaller pots of soup and adding some different

~~~~~~~~~
This has not been a problem for me, but I usually only eat the same meal for
two days. I cook "for one," but I like to make fairly large size and then
freeze meal-size portions. That means less waste and also less time
preparing food.

Oh that too! I ate that so much in NY, I didn't want to eat it again.

I hate eating food that has been frozen, with just a few exceptions like
meatloaf. So mostly that would never work for me.

Same here, Mary. I cook for one but make extra portions for freezing.
I don't eat the same thing every day, certainly not to the point of
getting burnt out on something.

That's not really what I think of as food burnout. You just didn't feel
like finishing it.

Julie was apparently eating cranberry bread every day. Even after
saying she had to stop halfway through a piece, didn't want anymore, she
followed with, "I am trying to eat another piece now." Why?

Nobody else will eat it and I wanted to use it up so there won't be any more
until next year. I am going to freeze it and try to eat it again next week
but I doubt that I will want it even then.

Same with me. I cook large and freeze for future meals. sf and one
other here has twisted that into saying that I eat the same thing
every day but I don't.

One good meal, I'll happily eat again the next day and the rest gets
frozen for future meal choices.

I will admit though...there is one meal that I will eat for 5 days or
so. Homemade lasagna. There's no tiring of that one with me. Lasagna,
salad and garlic bread.

Please give me an overview of your baked pasta... lasagna, ziti,
something else?

Hmm ... I can try and give you a list of what I put in it. I am sure from
that you can work something out ...

OK ... give or take what I fancy on the day:

Minced pork and beef
Pancetta
Onions
Zucchini
Mushrooms
Tinned toms
Red wine
Chicken stock
Herbs

Pasta
Eggs

The first list is my sauce, the pasta - usually penne but not always and
whatever it is I mix eggs through it and bake it.

The White trash Jell-O stuff is where your mind goes when you see cranberry.

I saw an interesting idea the other day that I'll try with meatballs
sometime and would work in a slightly altered shape with meatloaf too.
They made balls of small scoops (one inch across at the most) of
ricotta cheese and froze them, then the ball of ricotta went inside a
meatball and they were cooked as usual. Genius!

I didn't need a complete ingredient list down to the last picayune
detail, just a general overview - which is what you gave me. Thanks!

I used to make a pasta dish with wine that was soooo good! I never had to
buy any wine. Our landlord stayed at our house about once a week and he
always had leftover wine. At the time, I bought some kind of noodles that
were called dumplings. I don't think they are still being made. They were
like really thick, wide, egg noodles. I would cook them, then add whatever
cooked vegetables I had in the house. If I had none, I would add something
canned like Veg All and some kind of tomatoes. Usually Roma tomatoes. I
would often add some onion if I had it. And cheese ends, cut into cubes.
The beauty of that was that there would be many different kinds of cheese in
there and each bite could have a different taste to it. Sometimes I would
have no cheese ends so I would just use whatever cheese I had. But it was
always cut in cubes. Italian seasoning. Then dampened with wine, covered
and baked through until the cheese melted.

It was a dish that I could make for cheap and quickly too. And everyone who
tried it loved it.
