What are your "food downfalls" ??
So, I LOVE food. Like, a lot. Most of my day centers around lunch and dinner which really annoys the people that I work with but - a girl's gotta eat. While some eat to live, I eat because I LOVE IT.
With that being said - I have some major food down falls -
1. Bread - If bread is being served at a meal I will probably eat more bread than anything else. Especially if there is something to dip it in.
2. Cheese - Oh my. Take same cheese and put it with some bread. Add a cafe in Paris. Maybe some wine. Oh Lord.
3. Wine - we all know I am a borderline alcoholic so there is probably no reason for me to discuss this category any further.
4. Fish Filet from McDonalds - don't even get me started on this one.
What are your food downfalls?
Re: What are your "food downfalls" ??
Definitely wine and cheese. I'm not a big sweets eater, but I could eat cheese all day. OOOH, and french fries.
My favorite comfort meal to cook for myself is baked brie in a pastry crust and a bottle (yep, the whole thing) of red wine.
Mac and Cheese....Seriously, I could eat mac and cheese for every single meal for an entire month and not be tired of it. It's just so delicious.
Potatoes - Baked potatoes, fries, Au gatin potatoes, hashbrowns, mashed potatoes, potato soup....potatoes are so tasty!
Pizza - mmmmm I LOVE pizza.

Oh, mac and cheese is a huge downfall of mine too, although I am trying to curb myself of my addiction. YUM YUM YUM!!!!
Soda.. not a food, but calorie-laden and so unhealthy.
Butter
Cheese
Potatoes
I think those are the biggies...
my bookshelf!
Bloggy
Well, I'm on a very different diet than the standard American, so I will just post according to my weaknesses on my diet.
1. Nuts - I love peanuts, walnuts, almonds, cashews....but eating too many of them make me sick AND they can be pretty fattening if you eat them in abundance (like I like to)
2. Homemade ketchup - I LOVE my ketchup even compared to store bought. It's WAY better and healthier, but it still has a lot of calories (I sweeten it with honey instead of sugar).
3. Honey - I don't eat any kind of sugars or sweeteners, so I get my sweet fix with local honey. Sometimes I can't keep a spoon out of the freakin' jar! It tastes so good to me! I use it in almost everything I make too.
4. Wine - I drink a bottle a night on the weekends. Love red wine. I'll drink white wine if that is all there is, but I prefer red. Also love honey mead! So expensive though.
That's all I can think of, but I'm sure there are more.
I am the same way with Bread at stipes.
I enjoy cheese on everything as well.
I am a wine and beer drinker.
My all time fav food are potatoes, I could live off of potatoes!
This is pathetic. I don't have a favorite food. I've sat here for 5 minutes trying to think of one.
I guess my food downfall, then (same with drink) is an issue of quantity. A slice of pizza is good---so 4 slices are better! A sliver of manchego tastes great, but 2oz is divine!
a good plate of nachos will get me every time.
sweet potato fries,chicken fried steak with gravy and good whiskey sour and I can't ever turn down Taco Bell crispy beef tacos either!
Wow way too many to name. Just a few of my downfalls are:
Chocolate- definetly this! Chocolate or anything made with chocolate doesn't last long in my house.
Alcohol- I don't drink beer or wine but give me a cherry whiskey sour and I will down that thing in less than 2 minutes.
Anything with carbs- bread and pastas are my worst enemies.
Fried foods- growing up we ate fried fish or shrimp atleast twice a week. Add homemade hushpuppies with that and I'm in heaven!
I think this is more my problem, too. I just love food. And alcohol of all kinds. In quantities much higher than I should want.
cake, pasta, pizza, chips & salsa
1. Pasta anything, mac and cheese is my favorite
2. Cheese, especially when paired with pasta
3. Beer
I'm a huge grazer. So if I'm at a house party and there is every kind of dip known to mankind, a cheese tray, fruit, assorted little finger foods, and of course dessert... I will eat myself silly.
Other than that- things I pig out on... Baked chips, spinach and artichoke dip, caprese salads, soup of any kind, dulce de leche ice cream, and italian bread- esp. with good EVOO and balsamic to dip it in!
YUM!
1. Wine
2. Chips and salsa
3. Cheese
4. Anything bite-sized. I have no restraint with appetizers or hors d'oeuvres. It's amazing I don't gain 25 lbs each holiday season.
1. Pasta. A majority of the meals I cook are pasta dishes.
2. Chocolate. I just can't say no.
3. Chips and queso. I need it ALL the time! I thought it was a phase, but it's been a few months of constant craving.
food in general is my downfall. I love all food.
especially though, bread, pasta, sweet anything, chocolate, chips, sandwiches, and pretty much anything else you can eat!
