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!

LOVE the top ten list…I am still working on mine but that is such a great idea. I heard somewhere that people often get in a rut where they eat the same things day to day so I should make a list of fav foods and then a list of new foods to try to get me going on new exciting foods!
Congrats on finding renters **fingers crossed**
Pug meat, huh? I have to think about mine. Hummus is definitely up there.
Wow, that is definitely a hard question.
In no particular order: ice cream, chocolate, apples, sweet peas, potatoes, baguette, tacos, peanut butter, apples and soft pretzels.
Mmmm…
that chili looks awesome! i made some tonight too but i only made a tiny batch with just black beans. i can’t wait until i have a family and can make full sized batches of things!!
i can’t think of my top 10! it would involve salad and bagels though!
Pug meat? I’m assuming he means chewing on Murph! hehe.
I don’t think I can name just 10. I’ll have to “chew” on that myself.

7. Cottage cheese
8. Pretzels
9. Sushi

I really don’t think that I could narrow it down to only 10 foods!!!

Only 10?! I’ll have to think about that. It often depends on my mood. Chili is such an easy meal that makes lots for weeknight meals & lunches. I usually make simple turkey and corn chili with some chipotle but this looks great!
Good luck with scouring Craigslist. I know how frustrating it can be!
