Today I decided to share what foods I’m loving right now. I tend to get on a kick where I really, really love eating something and I’ll eat it over and over until I tired of it. These change somewhat month to month as I find new recipes or ideas that I love that stick.
Here’s what I’m loving this month:
Salads – I definitely go through periods where I love salads and periods where I hate salads. Right now I’m loving them! I’ve got a good system down where I buy a bag of romaine and a bag of chopped salad mix and then combine and separate into ziploc bags to be used as needed. These are so easy and it’s really nice to just pop out a salad and eat!
Tacos – This is one food favorite that doesn’t wane like the others. Tacos are the perfect food in my opinion. Give me 2 tacos and a salad or other side and I’m a happy, happy girl. I tend to make tacos at home more than I eat them out since it’s easier to keep them healthy at home, but a good food truck taco is a worthy treat.
Smoothies – I cleared out some stuff in my kitchen and my newfound counter space meant I have room to make smoothies again! I love a good smoothie in a mason jar. It’s the easiest way I’ve found to make sure I get more than enough healthy fruit and veg in one day. My little personal blender makes just the right amount for a good morning smoothie!
Iced Coffee – Since it’s colder I thought I’d be switching to regular coffee but I’m still loving iced coffee. This is actually my coffee today, with the skim milk working it’s way in to the coffee. Starbucks usually is my Sunday Funday treat, but right now I’m using it as a sort of office. Hey, it’s a business expense…. :)
Apple Cinnamon Rice Cakes – My boss turned me on to these rice cakes from Quaker because she was eating them often and loved them. I started using them too with a bit of peanut butter or almond butter and a banana. That’s actually what I ate for breakfast this morning and it was super tasty! I find this flavor to be the best and honestly the only rice cakes I eat.
That’s what I’m loving right now! (And let’s be honest, I love these things pretty often!) I’m sure later this month I’ll be loving turkey and cranberry creations since that will be on my menu for a week or so. What about you? What are your food favorites right now?
You know, I haven’t had rice cakes in FOREVER and those sound SO DARN GOOD. They use to be one of my fave’s, too. Maybe it’s time to put them back into rotation! :D My big issue right now is I WANT to want salad, but I can’t seem to get myself in gear to eat them. Not sure what is up with that. :/
They are! We love them with some peanut butter or almond butter on top. My fav!
I have that issue too… I think it’s the colder weather for me. I rarely want a salad in the winter. I’m eating them as a appetizer but then want something warm. I’m considering it a win that at least they make an appearance even if not as the main course!
