- I’m a fairly adventurous eater and will try most new things, but I have to draw the line at bugs. I saw this article, about cricket flour and thought no, no, no. The article makes some interesting points, but I just can’t. I have a similar aversion to eel. Would you try a cricket flour bar?
- I love, love, love cheese. I almost always add extra cheese when I make a dish with cheese in the ingredients. If some cheese makes it good, more cheese will make it better 🙂 Words to live by friends, words to live by.
- I really dislike recipes when the main part of the “recipe” is a box mix…not a real recipe. As a side note, this use to not bother me but now drives me crazy.
- I basically just buy apples so I can dip them in peanut butter. I have a peanut butter problem. I will also sometimes just eat a spoon of peanut butter straight, but the apple seems a more dignified way of enjoying it.
- I go through periods of time where I eat certain dish all the time (like oatmeal or tuna salad) and then I’m not interested in having it again for another 3-4 months. It is weird. It tends to be more breakfast or lunch items than dinner items, but that may be because we rarely have the same dinner items. I can’t eat the same things all the time, I need variety!
- I haven’t had cereal in at least a year. I’ve had granola & yogurt but eating straight up cereal with milk has not happened in ages. A huge reason is that we try to cut out processed foods in our home meals, but I think I’m going to need to break down soon and have a cereal night.
- I hate the descriptor gelatinous, it just sounds gross. I just can’t.
If you are interested in some of my other food confessions visit Vol. 1 & Vol. 2…it answers some pretty important questions about me, like do I like anchovies or not 🙂
While I don’t do weekly at home meals round-up anymore, I do still pin some of the recipes we try and like on the FOOD board.
Eel totally grosses me out, I tried it once and that was enough.
I just went through a hard core oatmeal stage and now I want nothing to do with it.
Also, I buy celery just so I can dip it in Trader Joe’s Cookie Butter. Please, pretty please, tell me you’ve had Cookie Butter.
LOVE peanut butter! And I could never ever try cricket flour. Yuck!
YES to no boxed mixes. My mother keeps sending me recipes using boxed mixes and I keep telling her they’re gross. She just insists they’re so convenient. Nope nope nope.
AHH THANK YOU for the boxed mix confession, I couldn’t agree more!! That is NOT baking!!
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who goes through those periods of binging on a certain food and then staying away for months! I do that with a lot of foods, except cheese. Cheese is everything! lol
I am crazy with peanut butter! I was going to post a special blog on all the pb I ate one day. hahaa
I do the same thing where I eat a lot of the same stuff then get tired of it. Only to move onto another thing I eat all the time.
Cheese is why I will never, ever go vegan. I also always add more garlic than the recipe calls for — luckily my husband also loves garlic, so we’re okay with just having awful breath together 🙂
oh why did you have to talk about cereal.. haven’t had it in ages, but now i’m craving it. and i realize that i’m not an adventurous eater whatsoever. i don’t like any strange textures.. bugs are definitely out of the question. we’ve seen so many crickets inside our house these days.. that i’m sure we can make a bag of cricket flour and send it to whoever wants it. haha have you seen the crispy spiders in… i forget which south east asian country. thinking about it just made me gag. also i don’t like apples.. but i will eat them dipped in caramel or peanut butter any day.
Cheese is one thing I could never ever give up. Even if I was lactose intolerant, I’d deal with the side effects b/c it’s JUST SO DELICIOUS!
Cricket flour bar? Who on Earth… well, I don’t really want to know the answer!
Altering a boxed item is not a recipe.
I can go months with eating something then be totally off it for another period of time too.
Yeah no, I definitely draw the line at bugs. I eat the same things over and over though, I love it. If I could eat PB&J sandwiches and nachos every day, I would be a happy camper.
Cricket… Flour… Nooooo!
i agree – boxed things (ie. boxed cake mix etc) isn’t a recipe!!!
