1.) One of my favorite foods is Potato Soup. Not just any potato soup but my granny's potato soup. She made the BEST potato soup. I have never been able to duplicate it but I am sure it's because it just doesn't have her touch. I miss her cooking. She also made the best stew, too! Oh and oatmeal cookies! I am sure I could go on and on, here.
2.) Since I am on the soup thing one other favorite is Chicken Tortilla Soup from Casa Blanca in Ruidoso. It is absolutely wonderful! I plan on figuring out how to make it. As of now I can say that they use grilled chicken, onions, celery, and they add avocado to it but I think it is added at the end. Its warm but not mushy. Really one of the best things to eat in Ruidoso, NM.
3.) Now when my husband is cooking I absolutely LOVE his grilled veggies. He combines yellow squash, zucchini squash, red, green, yellow and orange bell peppers with mushrooms. He seasons them to perfection and grills them on the grill. I could eat this vegetable medley on baked potatoes, turkey burgers or anything else I could find. I usually will eat more veggies than anything else he grills.
4.) Jason also has mastered grilling portabella mushrooms. I have tried them at several restaurants but no one comes close to what he can do. Again, if he cooked like this all the time I would be a vegetarian (or something close). Though I really enjoy a nice grilled steak to go totally vegan.
5.) Now if I ask nicely, especially for my birthday, my mother-in-law will make me her green chile enchiladas. Which are amazing. She has taught me how to make them but I am pretty sure hers still taste way better than what I can produce!
6.) My mom is an amazing cook. She definitely knows her way around the kitchen. However, she cooks with her nose meaning she knows what to add and how much by using her sense of smell. Which I did not inherit. One of my favorite foods that she cooks is roast with mashed potatoes. There is nothing like eating her roast when you need that home cooked meal. It is one of the ultimate comfort food.
7.) Another favorite for me is Papa Murphy's Margarita chicken pizza (I think that's what its called). It has chicken, spinach, a cream sauce and feta cheese. It is one of the best tasting pizzas. However, I am the only one in our house who will eat it and I could eat the whole thing without thinking. Its not something I can get unless I have a plan on how I can share it with someone else.
8.) A new favorite lately is frozen yogurt, especially strawberry. I am very fond of the Healthy Choice frozen Greek Yogurt and the TCBY Frozen yogurt bars. Definitely worth trying. It is a great low calorie treat.
9.) For drinks my favorite drink is a nice margarita. In fact, I miss having my Margarita Fridays. The best day of the week. There is nothing like kicking back with a friend, enjoying a margarita and catching up or letting go of the past weeks stress. When it comes to a margarita I prefer a salt rim and it to be on the rocks. I also like the beer - a - rita. The best one of those is in Ruidoso at Lucy's. They make one that has a corona beer chaser which is awesome. Though the margarita itself is the size of 4 regular margaritas plus the beer so you either should plan to share or definitely have a designated driver! And I guess really a margarita isn't a food but hey if ya haven't eaten it could be considered the best dang appetizer!
10.) Now my last favorite food would anything with coconut. Not sure why I love coconut but I do. I love coconut cake, coconut ice cream, and coconut pie. I prefer coconut milk over regular milk and I absolutely love coconut water. So, coconut would definitely be one of my top ten favorites!
So these are my 10 favorite foods. Some I can enjoy often and some I will always wish I could enjoy once again. Life is too short not to find different foods to enjoy. The key is not to do it in an unhealthy way. Though I battle with being a stress eater. I work hard not to over do it except on a rare occasion. Enjoy life eat a little and savor the foods you love, I know I will!
