Fallen Souffle

I have never been “tagged” before for a Meme, but the lovely Jaay from Culinarily Obsessed bestowed the honor unto me. I have to decide on ten and only ten of my favorite foods. This seemed like a simple task at first but then I realized that I have some crazy cravings. These cravings are intense and often change rapidly and are based soley on my moods. Yes I am a moody eater, which can get me in trouble sometimes.

Nonetheless I present to you my 10 Favorite Foods (for this week):

10. Feta Cheese
There is nothing like the saltiness of a chunk of feta cheese in a amazing greek salad or on a pizza. I also like to mix it with a bit of mayo and basil and spread it on bread with tomatoes (see number 4)…perfect!

9. Olives
Again, the saltiness. My husband says I am going to have the worst cravings when I am pregnant because I already have really intense cravings, and often times it is for olives. Kalamata olives are my favorites, but I will eat just about any kind. Dirty martini…yes please!

8. Tea
I don’t drink as much coffee as I used to, but I have become a tea freak! I got some new loose tea this weekend, French Vanilla Chai…I can’t wait to try it! It is so relaxing and calming to have a nice hot mug of tea especially on these cold days.

7. Baby Back Ribs
A reason Evan married me, my love for ribs. I like them slathered in a smokey BBQ sauce. My Dad used to own a restaurant that made the best ribs, unfortunately the recipe went with the cafe so we have now have to search for a new place for the perfect ribs…maybe a trip to Memphis?

6. Bread
Um…duh! I work in a bakery! Sure I get sick of some of the breads but I could never tire of our Farmhouse White Bread, the Asiago Pesto Bread or the Cranberry Orange bread. I see it everyday, I eat it everyday…and it just makes me happy.

5. Apricots
Though I have never had a fresh one, I adore dried apricots and use apricot preserves on just about anything. It’s sweetness mixes so well with a spicy mustard for a meat dish and it is perfect on coconut cookies.

4. Tomatoes
Fresh tomato sandwiches are why God created summer. I could eat them everyday. Tomatoes are also used quite often in my number 1 favorite food Oh and I take after my Dad and his love of Bloody Mary’s!

3. Peanut Butter
The go-to food when I am hungry at 11pm or need a protein boost while working. We eat alot of peanut butter and so do our dogs! Get them with an empty jar and you have never seen anything so humorous! I am making a peanut butter pecan pie for Christmas that I hope will be good enough to write about!

2. Cake
The reason I love weddings so much…well and seeing the bride’s dress ofcourse I am a cake snob and I am not ashamed to say that Evan and I had the best wedding cake ever. I like to jazz up simple white cakes with fruit preserves, creams and ganaches…yum! This is actually a picture of our wedding cake, courtesy of Jessica Claire Photography

1. All Italian Food
Yeah there is no way I could pick one Italian food. I could do a top ten of just Italian Foods! Pizza, lasagna, ravioli, paninis, baked penne, tirimisu…even the chianti! I dream of moving to Italy and just eating my way through, I didn’t eat nearly enough in the 3 weeks Evan and I were there! We have Italian food atleast twice a week but I honestly think we could eat it everyday and not get sick of it.

So there ya go! As concise of a list as I could on so little sleep!

So I hope Chan from lick the spoon hasn’t been tagged yet!
