Getting to know me through my food

I read this fun post by Glenneth at Let's Talk and Walk and just had to do it, too. It's a fun little meme, and different from the ones I've seen around.

A is for Apple: What’s your favorite variety?
I love Fuji apples! Although I like most apple varieties - just not Red Delicious. Red Flavorless is more like it!

B is for Bread: Regardless of nutrition, what is your favorite type?
Ooohh... beer bread, whole wheat bread, sourdough bread, honey wheat... I love bread.

C is for Cereal: What is your favorite kind currently? (just one!)
Oh goodness. I like several cereals! I love Basic 4, Frosted Miniwheats, Kashi Honey Sunshine, and Lucky Charms

D is for Donuts: You might not currently eat them, but what kind do you fancy?
Rarely have them, but I do love the custard filled ones with chocolate on top. Or the apple filled from the school donut fundraisers.

E is for Eggs: How would you like yours prepared?
Omelet, scrambled, or deviled. Or egg salad.

F is for Fat Free: What is your favorite fat free product?
fruits and vegetables, tea.

G is for Groceries: Where do you purchase yours?
Target, Ingles, or Food City

H: is for Hot Beverages: What is your favorite hot drink?
hot tea, hot chocolate, cappuccino

I is for Ice Cream: Pick a favorite flavor and add a fun topping.
Marble Slab chocolate with cherries mixed in. Or sweet cream with cherries and chocolate chips. Vanilla with fresh peaches. Vanilla with a spoonful of peanut butter and chocolate syrup. Honey on vanilla. (I love ice cream)

J is for Jams or Jellies: Do you eat them? If so, what kind and flavor?
Apple, peach, mango, apricot, or cherry. Homemade grape is amazing, too.

K is for Kashi: Name your favorite Kashi product?
Honey Sunshine cereal, hands down. It's so sweet and crispy and delicious.

L is for Lunch: What was yours today?
Turkey and provolone on whole wheat, a small salad of spring greens, cucumber, carrot, raisins, and black beans with raspberry vinaigrette, and canteloupe.

M is for microwave: What is your favorite microwave meal/snack?
I really can't think of a favorite! I mostly use our microwave to defrost frozen things and warm foods for Sophie. I sometimes buy microwave meals for lunch at work, but don't have a favorite.

N is for nutrients: Do you likes carbs, fats, or proteins best?
Carbs for sure.

O is for oil: What kind do you like to use?
Olive oil mostly, sesame oil sometimes. I only use vegetable oil for baking, which isn't often.

P is for protein: How do you get yours?
Eggs, peanut butter, cheese, a little meat.

Q is for Quaker: How do you like your oats?
With cinnamon. It's also delicious with a handful of dried cranberries mixed in!

R is for roasting: What is your favorite thing to roast?
I have never roasted anything sucessfully. I tried to roast some pecans once, and ended up with little charcoal pellets.

S is for sandwich: What’s your favorite kind?
Club sandwich, if it's made properly with super-crispy bacon.

T is for travel: How do you handle eating while traveling?
Pretty well. I like to try new things. I've noticed, though, that when we travel I have a reduced amount of fruits and vegetables so I tend to get a little ill several days in.

U is for unique: What is one of your weirdest food combos?
Do I even have any weird combos?? I put ketchup on fried potatoes, does that count?

V is for vitamins: What kind do you take?
One a Day Women's formula usually. Still taking prenatals until the bottle runs out or Sophie is fully weaned, whichever comes first.

W is for wasabi: Yay or nay?
I'll pass.

X is XRAY: If we xrayed your belly right now, what food would we see?
The remnants of my lunch.

Y is for youth: What food reminds you of your childhood?
lefse, krumkake, rosettes, ice cream with chocolate syrup

Z is for zucchini: How do you prepare it?
I just bought one at the farmer's market today. I have no idea how to prepare it! Calling my mother later to find out :)
