If you could make one type of food nutritionally complete

[SallyMander]

and eat it all the time, what would it be?

I am pretty sure i could live on raspberries... :9

Or chips and guacamole! :D

[KitchenWitch]

1. The two you listed plus strawberries dipped in chocolate

and Pita bread with hummus.

[AlCzervik]

3. that second one--yes indeed.

i love pita bread and hummus.

Oh yeah Madagascar 2 was hilarious, and omg Julian? i was dying.

[KitchenWitch]

5. Julian slays me!

I love that the "Bad Kitty" lady was back too!

[AlCzervik]

8. she was a real piece of work. the scene when Julian was sitting on the elephants

head? and he was acting out the dialog between him and the volcano, i was snorting.

[KitchenWitch]

10. ...

:rofl:

The Moto Moto scenes were fun too.

[AlCzervik]

11. oh yeah with him flexing his hippo man boobs?

:rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

12. total playah!

[AlCzervik]

13. did you see this preview?

http://www.monstersvsaliens.com/

I cannot wait to see that, since we already have a blob named Bob this is a must see.

[KitchenWitch]

20. I did, I am so going to see that one!

[SallyMander]

6. Oooh, good suggestions

Yum! :D

[triguy46]

2. It sure would be easier if Cheerios and milk were all I had to eat. Would suit me just fine.

[SallyMander]

7. I love chopping bananas on Cheerios

So good! :9

[Generic Brad]

4. Japanese curry on rice

My variation of chicken with mushrooms in it would be heaven. I could eat that every meal.

[SallyMander]

9. What kind of curry do you get?

I lived with a friend who would buy these little blocks of curry spices... i think you'd just mix it with water? Then cook veggies and stuff in it... in any case, it was DELICIOUS! Wish i could remember the brand name...

[Generic Brad]

15. House and S&B

My wife likes House. I like S&B.

[SallyMander]

45. Thanks for the tip!

I'm going to look for some now that i've remembered how tasty it is...

[PaddyBlueEyes]

14. PIZZA

whoohoooo....

[Auggie]

42. YES!

[SallyMander]

46. with pineapple!

:9

[Lincolngirl]

67. Pizza, Pizza, Pizza, Pizza........

and more Pizza!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like Pizza!!!

[Danger Mouse]

16. SUSHI. SUSHI. SUSHI.

[SallyMander]

47. I love me some veggie sushi

Especially with avocado, yum!

[AlCzervik]

17. Pad Thai.

Cheese, all of them, well almost all of them. I love cheese.

[SallyMander]

48. Oh, me too, on both counts

Pad Thai is definitely something i could eat for many days and not get sick of it...

[flvegan]

18. Extra crispy tater tots.

I'd be happy to dip them in Vegenaise if that helps.

[PaddyBlueEyes]

25. dude

At least you get to eat tater tots...! Im gonna try the vegtarian thing after the new year...pray for me.

[flvegan]

28. Tots are totally vegan.

And I'll pray for ya. Also, any help is just a PM away, yo.

[SallyMander]

49. Tater tots make me think of Napoleon Dynamite

:rofl:

[stuntcat]

19. omg guacamole yes

chips and guacamole :9 :9 :9 :9 I could go a long way with that before I got tired of it.


I'm not too picky so I bet I could live forever on grits!

[SallyMander]

50. I like grits too

I blame my mom's "southern genes" :D

:hi:

[TZ]

21. CHOCOLATE!

How could anyone pick anything else?:D

[kentauros]

33. Even better, Chocolate Truffles!

[SallyMander]

52. As i've gotten older, i've liked my chocolate darker and darker

Now i like it so it's barely even sweet... SO good!

I love the drooling smileys in the first reply! :rofl:

[DarkTirade]

83. I'm the same way with my wines too...

:P

[harmonicon]

22. bourbon

If chips and guacamole aren't nutritionally complete, I'm in trouble.

Or, that's why I'm fat and unhealthy.

[SallyMander]

53. Haha -- well, you could do worse

than chips and guacamole! I think avocados have the "good" kind of fat, right? :D

[harmonicon]

85. I hope so

I ordered a tomato, avocado, and cheese club sandwich for lunch today. It had about an inch of cheese on it, and equal parts mayo, avocado, and tomato. It was quite good though.

[DarkTirade]

23. Rasberries? Bah. Blackberries are where the flavor's at. :P

Hmmm. I dunno. I like too many things. Sesame chicken is the first thing that comes into mind though.

[SallyMander]

54. Mmm... i am an equal opportunity berry snarfer

My dad once made me a birthday fruit salad that was all berries... YUM!

[DarkTirade]

81. I'm still debating what to do for my spring mead...

a couple other mead makers have done rasberry mead, but they usually make it way too sweet for what I like. I'm thinking of doing a dry, dark blackberry one instead. :)

[ThatsMyBarack]

24. Macaroni and Cheese!

I used to love to eat it all the time when I was a kid, and I still do! :9

[SallyMander]

55. I still have a soft spot for the Kraft kind

But i now try to put something healthy in it like peas or some other veggie. Still good though! :D

[fizzgig]

26. cereal

specifically golden grahams. or cinnamon life. or crunch berries.

oh yeah...and crispix.


i really love cereal

[Gonzo Gardener]

32. how 'bout...

? :7

[SallyMander]

56. I like Cheerios

I can eat those things straight, all day! :rofl:

[blonndee]

27. Doritos!

I could LIVE on Doritos, without question. Salsa Verde is my favorite kind, but Nacho Cheese is good too.

[SallyMander]

57. I just tried the vegan ones

but now i can't remember which they were... chili something? They were really good! :9

[Shell Beau]

29. Either Hershey kisses w/ almonds, mocha fraps, Pringles, or mac-n-cheese!

None of which are healthy.

[SallyMander]

58. Sounds good to me though!

This thread is making me hungry....

[Gonzo Gardener]

30. I could live on raspberries

if they were served atop CHEESECAKE! :9


Seriously, the most yummy and nutritionally complete concoction I've come up with is my recipe for...

Wild Rice & Cranberry Salad

Ingredients:

1 14-oz. can vegetable broth
1 cup mixed variety wild rice
1 cup brown rice
8 green onions, chopped
4 celery stalks, chopped
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1/4 cup flaxseed or unsalted sunflower seeds
1 cup dried cranberries, chopped
2 cups frozen peas
1/2 cup light salad oil
4 tablespoons peanut butter
4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
4 teaspoons sesame oil

Directions:

Toast slivered almonds in a dry pan until golden brown, set aside. Cook rice in vegetable broth. Let the rice cool. Combine rice, onions, celery, almonds, flaxseed, peas, and cranberries in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the salad oil, peanut butter, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Pour dressing over salad and mix well. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.

This is a crunchy, nutty, and filling salad. Great as a side dish or as a meal. It keeps well in the fridge for several days. Try it... you'll like it!

Damn it, I'm at my parent's house for the week. No bacon allowed in this house anymore! :cry:

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

36. Even Legasse and Bourdain agree

on the infinite goodness of smoked and cured pork products. It's a beautiful thing, pig.

[SallyMander]

62. ...

:spray:

:spank:

[LSdemocrat]

37. I'd make deep frying a process that made foods nutritionally complete

[SallyMander]

63. Hmm, genius

So you could deep-fry say, an Oreo, and it would become healthy? I like this idea! :rofl:

[PBS Poll-435]

39. It would, definitely, be a "Drumstick" ice cream novelty

First, I get nuts.

Then I get the ice cream.

Then I get the cone.

6-7 minutes of bliss.

[SallyMander]

64. Wow, i haven't had one of those since i was a litlte kid!

Now i want one! :D

[yellowdogintexas]

40. Fried Chicken.

Popeye's
Church's Extra Hot
Chicken Express

or the Good Stuff I Can't Get Anymore, Miss Elizabeth's home made iron skillet fried brought to the church supper still warm. (Miss Elizabeth is now cooking fried chicken breast for God, I am certain. My Granny is making the fried pies, and Aunt Myrtle is working up the stash of Christmas Candies. Mama is making all the other pies)

I think this is possibly a whole new post.....

[SallyMander]

65. Aww, sounds like some good memories

wrapped up in tasty food. :D

[MilesColtrane]

43. The #1 Mexican Dinner at Herrera's

Accompanied by the fresh tortillas, chips, and pitcher of hot sauce that comes on each table...

[SallyMander]

66. Mmm... Mexican

Sounds good, especially with a margarita! :D

[Enthusiast]

44. Lasagna!

All the major food groups are represented. Especially good when made using ground venison instead of beef.

[SallyMander]

68. My dad makes a mean lasagna

[YankeyMCC]

75. Pizza and Chocolate Frappe

[SallyMander]

76. Frappe -- are you from New England?

I'm from Massachusetts and i say frappe -- no one here in Ohio knows what that means! They think it's a milkshake. Silly Ohioans. ;)

[YankeyMCC]

77. Yup, I grew up and live near Boston

and Ohioans just don't have the same relationship we New Englanders do with ice cream and ice cream derived drinks :)

[Rhythm]

78. Either pizza, or ice cream...

There has to be a way to do that, doesn't there?!

[SallyMander]

80. I think the food science people should get on it!

:D

[AwakeAtLast]

82. Peanut butter
