If you had to pick your top 10 favorite foods, what would be on your list?
Mal and I have been wracking our brains all night trying to narrow-down our lists, but we just have too many favorite foods! I’m so glad that I married a man who likes to eat as much as I do! 
Our top 10 conversation started after I introduced my husband to my favorite type of apple: JAZZ! 
I ate one as a snack this afternoon. Mal did too and he totally loved it! He’s a jazz apple convert now! 
Here’s what we finally came up with for our top 10 lists:
Tina’s Top 10 Favorite Foods
- Cake
- Cookies
- Nachos
- Peanut butter
- Oatmeal
- Bananas
- Apples
- Coffee
- Chocolate
- Pizza
Mal’s Top 10 Favorite Foods
- Pizza
- Ice cream
- Chicken
- Turkey
- Chips
- Coffee
- Pug meat
- Pistachios
- Pasta
- Cucumbers
Dinner
Tonight, Mal and I made Real Simple’s Turkey and Bean Chili for dinner– and it was AWESOME! I always rave about Real Simple’s recipes, but this one was especially delicious and it made a TON of leftovers. We’re going to be eating them for DAYS. I’m not complaining!
I also love that homemade chili is a fairly cheap dinner. The whole meal cost us around $6! Love that!
The star ingredient of the meal was Wild n Mild Grilling & Marinade Sauce that the folks at OpenSky sent me to test out.
We used the “Wild Blend” in tonight’s chili and it packed a serious punch! 
As the Wild n Mild slogan says: “Flavor that Bites Back!” Oh, yes, it did!
The flavor of the “Wild Blend” was unique, but it a good way! It’s semi-sweet and bbq-esque with a serious zing to it. (I assume that the “Mild Blend” doesn’t have as much heat to it.)
I added about 1/3 of a cup of the “Wild Blend” to the chili, and it added strong, spicy kick to the pot! Perfect!
I loved this chili recipe. It was soooooo flavorful with tons of big chunks of tomato, green bell pepper, and ground turkey. A bowl of spicy, hearty chili is truly the best!
I’m psyched that we have so many leftovers!
For dessert, I ate 3 handfuls of peanut butter and chocolate chips. I’m addicted to these things! 
I *think* we may have found renters for our apartment! Yay! Now, Mal, Murphy, and I need to find somewhere to live!
Off to scour Craigslist!

Wow, fantastic question. I’ve discovered so many new foods in the last year that I would have a problem scaling it down. So I am going to try: Lasagna, any kind of nut butter, coffee, cheeses, pizza, adobo pork, chocolate, carne asada, oatmeal, fruit. And about a million other items
And those aren’t in any particular order!
I’m afraid to ask …
What the heck is Pug Meat?
Trying to pick just 10 is like asking a parent which kid they love more.
Just some of my favorite foods: hot fresh bread, pasta, chocolate, pizza, chocolate covered pretzels, white cake with white frosting, COFFEE, oatmeal, pickles, cheese … and so much more.
I guess it’s not hard to figure out why I have a weight problem, huh? I do like most fruits and veggies too but they don’t make the top favorites.
