Well, the easiest way to get me to link up to anything is to
get me to talk about food. I love food, I love to eat and I love to cook. So.
Food! Yum! So this BBTW is right up my alley.
- Avocado. There was a time before kids when I didn’t like avocado. I thought it was slimy and weird tasting and just ugh. Then I got pregnant with Spencer and all of a sudden I couldn’t get enough of the stuff. Six years later this obsession is still going strong (much like my love for chicken wings, specifically Winghouse wings, which also started when I was pregnant). I love it in all things, on all things, and in all forms (here is my delicious guacamole recipe which is requested at most parties). LOVE. Favorite thing ever.
- I had this sandwich once at a local Italian market and it was simply amazing. I recreated it with some success, but it’s a little time consuming and I’d rather they just made it for me. I still dream about this sandwich. Here’s what it was: a real Italian focaccia (I pick one up at the same Italian market), grilled chicken (bonus points for marinating in Italian dressing), pesto sauce, sun-dried tomatoes, and goat cheese. Drool.
- Sometimes I’m a child about my favorite meals. I adore macaroni and cheese, in all forms. My favorite recipe is in my battered old Betty Crocker cookbook for baked mac and cheese, but I will gladly eat mac and cheese any time, made any way. For any meal, for that matter.
- Eggs. My children ask for breakfast for dinner all the time, and what they mean is pancakes but what I want is eggs. Again, I’m not picky on preparation – I like over easy or poached best, but scrambled with veggies and cheese is my most common prep. My FAVORITE is a piece of toast with a wedge of Chipotle laughing cow, half an avocado and a fried egg on top.
- I tried to be less of a cliche, but bacon has to be on the list. I only buy Wright's because it's so good I can't possibly screw it up, and I buy in 1.5 or 3lb packages (every wonder who pays 16.99 for bacon? That would be me) and I freeze it laid out individually in a freezer bag so I can cook 3-4 pieces at a time. Or take out two pieces to chop up and add to a pasta dish, or Brussel sprouts. You get the idea.

Oh, man. I had a favorite sandwich at an Italian market down the street from my office, and then they closed the Italian market, and every time I drive past it on my way to or from work, I get a little weepy. Not that, uh, I'd get that hung up on a sandwich, or anything... :)
(IT WAS SO GOOD.)
Hot damn I love bacon. And avocado.
