Hello and happy Monday!
How was your weekend? Ours was pretty good, and the weather was amazing.
I hope everyone had a great Mother’s Day. We all slept in, went to church and then brunch, and then spent time outside for the rest of the day.
It’s time for our monthly Share Our Lives link up with some of my favorite bloggers:
So far this year, we’ve discussed:
- Introductions and jobs you’ve had in January
- How we met our significant others in February
- 5 items you can’t live without in March
- Favorite make up and hair products in April
This month’s topic is…5 favorite and least favorite foods. I’m not sure why this post was so hard for me to write….maybe because I’m not too picky, so I guess I like most food and don’t dislike many foods?
Top 5 favorite foods:
So many great foods to choose from, but I narrowed my list down to these five:
- Chips and queso: the best part about going to a Mexican restaurant (I love a good salsa too!)
- Macaroni and cheese: Hadley gets her love of mac and cheese from me. I don’t make it very often, but I love homemade macaroni and cheese. This recipe is a little effort, but it’s oh so good!
- Gnocchi: If we are at an Italian restaurant and gnocchi is on the menu, I will order it!
- Green bean casserole: Well, I don’t think I had green bean casserole until moving to Kentucky and attending Trav’s family get togethers. I always think of green been casserole for Thanksgiving and Easter, but I try to make it a couple of other times throughout the year. The crunchy fried onions on top are the “chef’s kiss.”
- Mint chocolate chip ice cream: My favorite ice cream flavor of all time.
- Bonus: I love sushi. Now, I don’t eat all fish. I don’t love tuna, for example, but I will eat salmon, yellowtail, shrimp, crab and more.
I’m sure I’m forgetting so many great foods, but those were the first ones to pop in my head!
Top 5 least favorite foods:
Oh…I do have a few least favorite foods:
- Mayo: Absolutely not. I’ve never liked mayo and never will. If a recipes calls for mayo, I ain’t making it. I don’t even know if my kids have ever had mayo since we don’t have it at home.
- Yogurt: I want to like yogurt so badly…I know it’s a great source of protein and an easy breakfast, but I just can’t do it. I was always proud of myself as a mom that my kids liked mayo when they were little. They still like it, but don’t ask me to buy it often.
- Tomato: I don’t like tomatoes. They don’t taste like much to me and the juice is too runny. Again, I don’t know that my kids have had many tomatoes besides salsa.
- Oysters: I know many people don’t like oysters, but Travis and Hayden do. When we go on vacay, Hadley and I hate it when they want to hit up the oyster happy hour.
- Pimento cheese: I know it’s a southern thing, so I guess I didn’t grow up eating it. I tried it once, and I just can’t do it.
Coleslaw was another food that came to mind as one I don’t like.
Next month, our topic is also about food…but it’s foods to make for someone else.
I can’t wait to see what others share for favorites and least favorite foods. I’m sure there are some I could have added to both lists but forgot.
After today, only one more Monday of the school year…I think I can, I think I can!
