This post is soooooooo not nice. Grrrr because I'm still watching my calories so food is not my friend now.
But I will play to just torture myself.

1 and 2 don't really apply to me because I'm a vegetarian so their aren't too many options so I usually just get a vegi burger.

3. My favorite homemade meal is eggplant parm.

4. I wish I could eat onion rings and fried pickles all day.

5. I am a carb addict. So any bread or past is my undoing.

lgsdesigner · August 2014

@hooligans - Well...you and I are in the same boat! This post was actually sparked by me craving something bad at 9:30 in the morning, and knowing I couldn't have it. I instead ate my "good girl" food at lunch and just pretended like it was bad foods.

meredithcarole · August 2014

1) Your favorite casual dining meal? TexMex food (complete with Margarita)

2) Your favorite upscale meal? As a chef this is hard to answer. The best course I ever had was at Victoria and Albert's - it was seared foie gras with a Fuji apple tart and Sauternes. Oh my God, it was wonderful.

3) Your favorite homemade meal? Again this is hard for me to answer. I do make a fabulous braised beef cannelloni.

4) Something you wished you could eat as much of as you wanted and never get fat? Cheese and wine!

5) Your food addiction: I love M&Ms and popcorn together.

tlc35 · August 2014

@meredithcarole I want to come eat at your house, my mouth is watering now!

lgsdesigner · August 2014

I am with @tlc35....I want to eat what @meredithcarole makes!

wannabmama23 · August 2014

Oh I'm so hungry reading these! All day I've been insatiable and I'm still hours away from dinner!

1) Your favorite casual dining meal?
Recently, I love ceasar salads with grilled buffalo chicken on top...I love anything buffalo and the cool ceasar with it = yum!
2) Your favorite upscale meal?
So many! I love really great Italian, amazing steak, or sushi...
3) Your favorite homemade meal?
If I'm cooking, this Portuguese beef stew, Alcatra. If DH is cooking, fish and chips.
4) Something you wished you could eat as much of as you wanted and never get fat? Bread, warm fresh wonderful bread.
5) Your food addiction: used to have a big sweet tooth and loved sour gummy candy (yes, evidently I'm 12 years old), but have mostly kicked that habit and replaced it with chips or popcorn.

@meredithcarole‌ too bad you can't whip up some of those and send them through the interwebs

marijaa333 · August 2014

1) Casual: sitting by the sea in a fisherman's shack and eating catch of the day, preferably grilled, with a giant tomato and red onion salad and a nice, heavy white wine; second choice is a Brazilian feijoada, but it has to be the real thing and it's best done once every five years because it literally knocks you out!

2) Upscale: Sushi and sashimi; I also love Spanish and Italian. Mmmm.

3) Homemade: my aunt's baked beans (made with tomatoes, onions, olives and parsley)

4) Wish it were calorie-free: almond croissants

5) Food addiction: I go through phases; currently, I'm living in fear of roasted gorgonzola crackers from Trader Joe's.

hooligans4 · August 2014

@tlc35 pizza dough is so easy to make. Try it, it's so much better than tha stuff in a bag

lcwed · August 2014

I am too buzzed from my glass of wine and it is way to late right now to answer all, so I will go with the most addicting question as it is sand bagging my weight loss efforts: Peanut Butter Snicker squares. I can't ever stop at just one.

So glad I read this after dinner or I would have been feeling just like @meredithcarole.

c018924 · August 2014

1) I'm going with a chicken burrito bowl too
2) filet
3) sechwan shrimp....or any pasta meal
4)ice cream
5) currently, pretty much any junk food but probably candy bars

I went on a big diet last year to lose 30 lbs before getting pregnant and did awesome until I had a few candy bars which lead to daily ones....a year later I'm still not pregnant, at my heaviest and can't seem to get motivated to diet and exercise. :-( trying to avoid candy bars has been a futile exercise

URMySunshine77 · August 2014

Like @hooligans4, I'm vegetarian, so there are limited upscale options.

1) Your favorite casual dining meal? Roman-style vegetarian pizza or Chipotle burrito

2) Your favorite upscale meal? Fresh italian food like handmade pasta and bread

3) Your favorite homemade meal? I make Jamie Oliver's rice pilaf with greens, chick peas, and feta that I really love. It's topped with olive oil and cracked pepper.

4) Something you wished you could eat as much of as you wanted and never get fat? Pain au chocolate or brioche bun with chocolate chunks from a local bakery

5) Your food addiction: bananas. I need one every day.

KirstenAlecia · August 2014

1) Your favorite casual dining meal?

Sushi for sure....with a beer

2) Your favorite upscale meal?

Oh there are so many.....A really great Ahi Poke or crab cakes with some kind of amazing sauce (last time it was with some jalapeño sauce mmmmm) Im a sucker for the appetizers at the fancier places I have been too.

3) Your favorite homemade meal?

My hubbys Chipotle Mac n Cheese.......to die for.

4) Something you wished you could eat as much of as you wanted and never get fat?

This is making me hungry, not the best thread to read on a strict diet.

1) Your favorite casual dining meal? Got to be a burger at New Orleans Hamburger and Seafood. How I have missed that place.

4) Something you wished you could eat as much of as you wanted and never get fat? cheeseburgers and fries with LOTS of mayo

5) Your food addiction: gotta be bread, oh how I have missed it.

3) Your favorite homemade meal? Indian butter chicken in the crock pot. Yum!

4) Something you wished you could eat as much of as you wanted and never get fat? ALL THE FOOD.

Yeah, upscale is kind of difficult, but unfortunately I have way to many casual veggie favorites - like pizza (I'm not strict vegan), a Chipotle veggie burrito or pad Thai from Pei Wei.

KirstenAlecia · August 2014

I will ask the hubby how he makes Chipotle Mac N Cheese and share......I know he doesn't have a real recipe (he never measures stuff.....he is one of THOSE super naturally talented people in the kitchen)

hooligans4 · August 2014

@mindaa I just had Chipotle for the first time yesterday. They had this really good spicy tofu that I had in my burrito. That could be dangerous if I lived closer to one. I cook everyday so I can count on my hands how many times in the past 10 years we got pizza for dinner. Normally we go out to a casual place about once a month.

KirstenAlecia · August 2014

So speaking of whats on my list of favs.

My hubby went off and MADE my fave upscale restaurant food at home last night and he nailed it. sooooo good!

Ahi Poke.......mmmmmmmm

I was is heaven.

wannabmama23 · August 2014

@KirstenAlecia‌ that's so funny, last night I had really intense dreams and I can't remember anything about them...except that some part had something to do with poke! I have no idea why...my subconscious is telling me I should go find some, I guess (could be pretty tricky in MA).

I can understand why.....ITS AMAZING!

The Yardhouse makes good Ahi Poke and its not even a high end restraunt.......I had it there once years ago before we hit a Red Hot Chili Peppers Concert and man i remember it just as well as i do the concert. It was yummy.

@MelissaMiso:

I forgot to mention that Roman-style pizza has a very thin crust but juicy toppings. My favorite Romanesque flavors include a fried egg or slices of fried potato on top.
