What's your food addiction?

jertie · January 2011

I don't know what the deal is, but I bought a package of jalapeno string cheese last week and I'm rapidly eating my way through it. Problem is, it's not only string cheese, it's pretty much cheese of any kind - cotija, goat, nacho, those little bright orange squares of cheese that are individually wrapped - if it's not nailed down, I eat it. I'm not too worried, I'll move on to something else in a couple of days (week before last was pistachios). I'm thinking of moving on to hummus next...

So what is your food addiction right now?

OMG, if I ate all that cheese I wouldn't poop for a year! I love cheese, but I just can't eat it all the time.

my addiction right now is fiber one bars....mmmm! it's like a chocolate chip cookie, but with fiber! my 2 favs!

Muffinhb · January 2011

Ha!! I've actually noticed a change in, shall we say, "production", which is why I'm reconsidering something with a little more fiber. Tongue Tied

I might need to put fiber one on my addiction list, they sound really good!

On our diet, I can't eat any of the normal snacky foods since we don't eat carbs so for snacks now I am eating nut butters. My favorite is sunflower seed butter mixed with shredded coconut. It is SO good. There was one day last week where I ate so much of it I got sick. It's so rich but it's delicious!

jertie · January 2011

I love sushi! It's available here in land-locked Colorado, but I seldom eat it. I know they have fresh stuff flown in, but I don't trust it. Kind of silly, but I have an active imagination. However, I always order it when I'm traveling to one of the coasts - yum!

My food addiction will always be pizza....NY style cheese only though! I could eat it 7 days a week!!!!

I love the different nut butters (haha - I love typing that - nut butter, hee-hee - I'm such a child sometimes). Anyway, I became addicted to almond butter when I was pg - it was incredible! I've got to look for the sunflower butter. Did you get it at Trader Joe's? The closest thing we have is a Whole Foods, so I might try to find it there.

My current addiction is any type of cookie. My sweet tooth is a bit out of control. I might expand my horizons tonight and bake up some brownies.

Whole Foods has it but it's pricey, TJ's has it but it has sugar and salt mixed in, so I've been making it myself in our food processor. I always did that with peanut butter, it's super easy-just dump in the nuts/seeds and turn it on. It takes awhile but eventually you'll get the right consistency without having to add anything else.

Cashew butter is also amazing!

That's an awesome idea! I notice that a lot of the butters have oil added to them too, so make the consistency smoother, so making it myself will get rid of that too. Plus, I can make as much as I want/need. Do you toast the nuts first? Thanks Ginger!

I LOVE grapefruit right now. I go through crazy food phases.

I don't add oil, but I haven't been able to get the right consistency with almonds. I buy toasted sunflower seeds, and I've tried different kinds of peanuts to find the right ones that make the best butter. You have to play around and see what you like. Toasted works best though, whether you toast them or buy pre-toasted.

I have mixed in spices too to make it tastier/healthier-cinnamon and tumeric are really good in the sunflower seed butter. And if you mix chocolate chips into the cashew butter it tastes like raw cookie dough.

I can't remember a time when I didn't love pizza. Yummmm...it's my favorite food.

butterflynola · January 2011

I have been loving sushi lately too. Sometimes whe I try to cheer myself up about not being pregnant I say hey at least I can eat sushi right now lol, enjoy your sushi and eventually you'll be pregnant again and will once again have to give it up

Cheese and Onion Enchiladas from takeout. I must have it on a weekly basis. Also I have a big time issue with chocolate. I was eating the carb friendly trader joes but I have been eating a dark with raspberries this week. I need to slooow down with eating it though. I have a chocolate problem. I just love it toooo much. I also love lattes.....wow this post could just go on and on.

Rawr08 · January 2011

Right now I am loving yogurt! All the time though, potatoes - be it baked, mashed, fried I love em!

ccansdale · January 2011

fruit-- bananas, grapes, blackberries & oranges!

ewilliams1127 · January 2011

I LOVE potatoes made any way. But, recently I've had a hankering for anything with peanut butter....PB shakes, PB ice cream, PB&J, PB and toast (you get the picture).

Nikki1219 · January 2011

I LOVE sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. It's kind of gross to eat because I have to spit out the shell but I crave them all the time. I like to eat them when I'm reading (one of my favorite pastimes) and when I'm on the computer.

iggy.d · January 2011

Peanut butter! Can't stop. But I'll also tire of it quickly...guacamole may be up next.

SheriBT · January 2011

Cookies. I

them.

Snacks - especially the chip and dip variety. Not regular chips, but chips and salsa or hummus and pita chips. Even crackers and dip. If it's in the house, I tell myself to eat it up,so it's not in the house. Sadly, since the holidays there keeps being reasons why it's in the house!!!
