21. Your 10 favorite foods

As a bonus this is a list of my ten favorite paleo foods. Eating healthy is an ongoing challenge but it's also kind of fun to find amazing flavors for things that are also good for me :D Although not everything on this list is super healthy haha.

10. sweet potato fries w/ wasabi mayo
09. herb-roasted mexican squash
08. lime-ginger-coconut soup with zucchini, carrot, and shrimp
07. green grapes, I was always meh on grapes but I realized that was RED grapes. Green grapes are a whole other flavor and they're in season right now so I'm eating way more than I should
06. any sort of mashed winter squash (butternut, acorn, pumpkin, etc) with butter and garlic
05. buffalo ranch chicken soup
04. any sort of sweet and spicy asian stir fry. SRIRACHA ALL THE THINGS
03. taco bowl with spicy meat, avocado, green sauce, green onions, cilantro, squirt of a lime, whatever random veggies are around, usually tomato and peppers, sometimes lettuce
02. bacon-wrapped dates filled with goat cheese holy shIT SO GOOD but these are little sugar-bombs (natural sugar, from the dates, but super sugary nonetheless) so we have had them like twice the past year. I'm totally making some for my birthday in a couple months though

and number one, dun dun dun

01. Brussels sprouts sauteed in bacon fat and sprinkled with the crumbled bits of bacon used to create the bacon fat



I love love love Brussels sprouts so much and they just become NEXT LEVEL with the addition of bacon.

Ugh... I want those brussels sprouts.

[naushika]

Aww, I'd send you some, but I don't think they'd survive the trip. ;)

[queer_theory]

Honestly... I am all about everything you mentioned here. Delicious foods.

This is the day of the meme I'm on. I need to list foods.

[naushika]

Yess I'm so glad you agree! So many delicious things. :D

I spent like 5 minutes drawing a blank when trying to make this list but once I thought up a thing I liked it all sort of spiralled from there. There were a few things I had to leave off!

[queer_theory]

That's part of why I've been putting this post off, tbh. I love so many things that I don't know where to start and then it'll just spiral and there will be pictures and rambling and GOD I LOVE FOOD.

[naushika]

Hahah well you could list everything then cut down from there? Or heck just make it more than ten. :D FOOD IS SO GOOD IT IS WORTHY TO RAMBLE ABOUT!

[timetobegin]

[naushika]

:D It is! I want some now! D'oh.

I don't eat meat, so for me it's all about the brussel sprouts + balsamic vinegar. But yes, sprouts <33

[naushika]

I actually rarely do them up in bacon - that's just when I'm feeling ambitious, lol. But sprouts are amazing! I've never actually tried them with balsamic vinegar, I should do that some time.

[laisserais]

SRIRACHA ALL THE THINGS! Yes! but lol I'll leave you ALL the brussels sprouts. ;)

[naushika]

That sauce is magic!

LOL Aww. THAT'S OKAY. I love them enough for both of us and I will happily eat your share! ;D

I've been meaning to reply ever since you posted this....sorry it's so late, but can I get the recipe for the Buffalo Ranch Chicken Soup? It sounds amazing.
