Your current food obsession/kick.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

Mine? Chicken Nacho Supreme from Taco Bell.
Oh, and Jello Pudding cups, the chocolate/vanilla layered ones. YUMMY.
Tell me yours. I wanna know. :evilgrin:

1. Ramen noodles.

I am experimenting with interesting ways to prepare them.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

3. Take Campbell's Chunky Soup and put them over the noodles...

minus the bag of spices. I usually use Sirloin Burger, but you can use your favorite kind. I used to do this all the time in my early days of college. It's so good.

28. Man - have I ever been there!

Out of financial necessity, many years ago. I finally managed to pull off a faux gourmet effect by taking the noodles, cooked, seasoned and drained, and mixing with two beaten eggs and chopped scallions. Pour half the godawful looking mess into a small frying pan. Dump in a can of crab meat. Pour remaing godawful looking mess on top. Cover and cook on low for 5 minutes. Then slide "Faux Egg Foo Yung" onto plate and flip back into pan to cook top side. Fake some kind of gravy with a basic roux and chicken boullion, liquid preferable - like Bovril - and dump on top. Or some kind of corn starch gravy, if you're good at it. For whatever reason, it actually works. And, yes, I invented this out of desperation.

I still fiddle with Ramen on occasion, but now I have access to many other types of Oriental noodles, thanks to Toronto's fabulous Chinatown.

My bit of nostalgia was tempered by remembering eating leftover take out rice with salad dressing. There are MANY things I don't miss aboutt college....

2. Naked Chicken Strips From Popeye's

We had some for dinner last night - they're very spicy, but damn tasty.

:9

[YellowRubberDuckie]

4. Sounds great.

[sui generis]

5. homemade artisan rosemary boulle bread

with braunschweiger and sliced hard boiled eggs, lightly salted.

oh! multiple oh!s

[Atlas Mugged]

6. Homemade Tzatziki and olive salad on pita with cucumber

I've been eating Mediterranean food for years and occasionally get out the (many) cookbooks and get on a new jag.

[keithjx]

7. Peach Snapple.

I just love the snapple real facts.
(sorry it wasn't food, but it's starting to become a problem!)

8. It's something you consume...it counts.

:evilgrin:

[MissMillie]

50. one of my favorites lately too

though I drink the diet version, so not so many calories.

Also, popcorn. I put tabasco on it. Very yummy.

[fudge stripe cookays]

54. I miss the raspberry tea Snapple.

We can't get it down here.

I've tried other brands, but they just don't taste the same!

9. Swedish meatballs and egg noodles

I just came up with a beautiful and simple meatball/gravy recipe.. It's so good I've made it about 3 times a week for the past three weeks. Two meals worth each time.

I'm constantly obsessed with homemade Chinese food and pizza.

I agree that Nacho Supremes are really tasty. I get the "beef-like substance" version though.

My previous obsession was Vietnamese Pho Soup (3 times a week), but I've slowed down and only get it about once every few weeks now.

[Jessica]

11. I just made that for the first time ...

but my gravy wasn't the best. Would you mind sharing? :hi:

[tridim]

25. I'm not a "by the recipe" guy, so this might be hard..

1 meat patty (beef, pork or turkey - They all taste the same)
2 slices of white bread cubed and some crumbled club crackers
1 egg
1/4 cup onion and two cloves garlic, carmelized in olive oil
About 1/4 tsp each pepper, salt, cayenne, chili powder, oragano, parsley and worcheshire sauce

Mix it all together with your hands, chill and form balls.. Fry in EV olive oil for about 8 minutes. Move meatballs to the side of the pan and add two pats of butter to pan and about 1 tbsp flour. Cook roux for a minute or two. Add about 1/2 can of chicken broth, about 1/4 cup milk. Whisk it quickly. Add some half-and-half, more pepper and parsley, and some worcheshire for color. Cook everything for another 5 minutes. Done.

[Jessica]

27. Thanks!

I'll definitely try it ... I love that dish.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

31. You can also use beef broth or mushroom broth

i think these give the gravy a hardier flavor!

[magnolia]

45. I do something similar...

...but use sour cream instead of milk or half and half. It's rich and thick and wonderful flavor.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

10. Cream Filled Pirouette

The hazel nut ones by Pepperidge Farms. I ration them out like they are gold since I only allow myself to buy them once a month. :)

[Richardo]

12. M and freakin' Ms

Not good for the low-carb diet, but I've fallen into a 2 pack-a-day habit and I can't get up!

[Kool Kitty]

44. I have an M & Ms obsession myself.

I could take or leave the milk chocolate ones, but I got a bag of the Star Wars dark chocolate kind last weekend. I have gone through the whole bag already and have to go back to the store tonight and get a couple more bags. Damn you, Darth Vader.

[Richardo]

47. What the...? Dark Chocolate M&Ms? Foul temptress!

I did NOT need to know about those. :wow:

Size 46 waist, here I come!

[Kool Kitty]

48. I thought you'd like that.

Give in and get a bag-you won't be disappointed. ;-)

[fudge stripe cookays]

55. Gah!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I'm cursed by having belonged to too many clubs in high school, each of which had to sell M & M's for our group project.

I'd sit and eat the freaking things through class, all day long for weeks!

Now I'd be happy if I NEVER saw another M & M for the rest of my life.

FSC :puke:

[Jessica]

13. Rosemary & Olive Oil potato chips from Target.

:9

[Richardo]

26. I *heard* about those - sounds yummy!

Are they? :9

[Jessica]

30. Oh so very ...

They're the Market Pantry brand ... they have some other flavors, but these are especially good. :hi:

[Lavender Brown]

14. Fruit roll-ups

I'm regressing to childhood I guess. :shrug:

[cheezus]

15. banana peppers

and other jared pepper slices

they're the new pickle!

[CBHagman]

16. Vegetarian "meats."

I'm finding out there's a huge range in taste and quality out there. :-( It's been trial and error for several years now.

For decadent snacks, it's No Pudge brownies with Edy's caramel crunch frozen yoghurt. Oink.

[American Tragedy]

20. I love Boca burgers, and I'm not even a vegetarian.

Well, I don't eat beef or pork, but otherwise I'm avidly carnivorous.

[cmf]

17. Pita Chips

those are soooooo good.

[American Tragedy]

18. Eggs over easy on top of fresh toasted salt-rising bread.

I know it sounds like it would be really bland, but I love it, I can't seem to get enough of it. I try to consume a lot of protein since I tend to get iron-deficiency anemia.

Oh, and bison burgers. BISON BURGERS. Free-range, antibiotic/hormone free, with whole grain bread, tomatoes, romaine lettuce, and spicy mustard. Mmmmmmmmmmmm. :9 You must try them. I can't remember what beef tastes like, so I don't have much of a basis for comparison, but it's so good. It's also much leaner, lower in fat & cholesterol, and higher in iron & protein than pretty much any other meat.

<literally almost drools just considering the delicacy>

Dammit, why did you have to ask this? Now I'm fixated on the damn things, even though I had one just last night, and I'm nowhere near a place where I could possibly buy one right now.

[Liberal Veteran]

19. BTW...I make an awesome and fairly easy chicken pot pie.

That can me made in bulk and frozen.

Just dice some cooked chicken.
Combine some frozen peas and carrots with some onions and potatoes.
Get a can of condensed cream of chicken soup and dilute slightly until you have a decent consistency for pot pie.
Mix all that stuff together and allow to cool.

Then take some pie crust mix and small foil pie pans, and make according to instructions.

After putting the bottom layer of crust in the pan, used the cooled mixture to fill the crust.

Cover the the pie with another layer of dough crust and cook or freeze in foil until you want an easy meal.

Takes an hour or so, but you can easily make 10 or more personal size pot pies in that time.

[ghostsofgiants]

21. Cheese fries from New York Fries

God damn those things are good.

[bif]

22. BBQ chicken

Now thaat the weather's getting nicer

[Samurai_Writer]

23. I found my blender after 3 years of it hiding...

in the bottom of an armoire. I am now on a major smoothie/shake kick, using tofutti and vanilla soy milk and fresh fruit. I've been having one every day, and I swear I am feeling and looking better because of it!

My current favorite is strawberry-banana, followed by kiwi-pineapple.

[agates]

24. Archway Dutch Cocoa Cookies

Yummy!

[sandnsea]

29. milk

I have no idea why, but I've been craving milk for several months now. :shrug:

[elfin]

32. Low Carb Cream of Spinach Soup

Saute some onions in butter. Blend about a half bag of spinach with low carb milk and chicken broth and some cream cheese until mised to consistency you will like.

Add to onions, season with nutmeg, cayenne or tabasco and salt. Heat thru and adjust liquids and seasonings to taste.

The nutmeg and cayenne are the secrets - good stuff and good for you.

[kick-ass-bob]

33. Pizza.

But that has been a constant for about 20 years.
:P

[YellowRubberDuckie]

40. I had the best pizza Tuesday at the mall of all places...

It was from the italia express. I had pepperoni and sausage. Damn, it was fabulous.

[SarahB]

34. Vanilla protein shakes with frozen berries.

Stir fried tofu and mushrooms with garlic. Damned freaky health geek. :silly:

[Rainbowreflect]

35. Amy's brand anything.

I have been living off their frozen meals for lunch for the last month.

[Patiod]

51. Amy's Breakfast Burritos

$2.67 and worth every penny.

[flamingyouth]

57. They make the best frozen stuff, IMO

:9

[warrens]

36. Japanese cucumber salad

With that sweet rice vinegar, red peppers, red onion and red chilis. I think I've had that with dinner every night for the past six or seven, not counting days I was traveling.

[blue neen]

37. Cheddar Triscuits and Miller Lite Beer.

And I never even really liked beer before! :shrug:

The Cheddar Triscuits are great...mmm.

[miss_kitty]

38. I have a dark chocolate/sweets thing going on right now

but that can change anytime. I just fisihed a long "Nachos only" run after my nutritionist told me to "stop self-medicating with cheese." Before that, it was pasta.

[the Princess]

39. Hot Hot Hot Hot HOt

As hot and spicy as I can get it. I don't care what it is - put some hot sauce onit!!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

59. I once watched a coworker eat...

cream cheese with hot sauce.

[Dukkha]

41. Cheez-Its

Lots of them! I usually go through 2-3 boxes a week. I particularly like the low fat and party mix. These days I've been getting the Star Wars boxes :)

56. Classic steak dinners, and smoothies.

After several years of not really caring for beef i have now gotten where i can hardly eat enough steak, T-bones, ribeyes, and Nystrips with a big baked tater, and nice rolls, and salad.

I also love homade smoothies.....just can't get enough of them either.

[sniffa]

58. nacho cheese & pretzeL combos
