Five Foods

May 29, 2014 by Julie 107 Comments

Hello, hello!

How are you guys doing today? Things are going well in the Fagan household.

When my day begins with a delicious breakfast, there isn’t too much to complain about, I suppose.

Greek Yogurt with Kashi Go Lean and Almonds

Greek Yogurt + Kashi Go Lean Cereal + Butter Toffee Almonds

Healthy Breakfast

It was creamy, crunchy and oh-so-tasty! I’m hoping it keeps me satisfied until it’s time to break into my morning snack at work today. I’m headed out the minute this post is published and will see you guys after lunch!

But first, here’s today’s 10 Day You Challenge…

10 Day You Challenge

We are on day five of the 10 Day You Challenge, so it’s time to chat about five foods. Since listing five all-time favorite foods sounds a little too limiting, I’m just going to share five foods I love and could eat every single day without ever getting sick of them.

Let’s do this!

Five Foods

  • Ice Cream

Ice Cream

My all-time favorite food. There’s nothing better! (And if someone can find a petition for me to sign to bring back Ben & Jerry’s Oatmeal Cookie Chunk ice cream, I’d be all over it.)

  • Chicago-Style Mix Popcorn (Cheddar + Caramel from Garrett’s)

Garrett's Popcorn Cheddar and Caramel

The perfect combination of salty and sweet! If you ever find yourself in Chicago, you must stop by Garrett’s to buy a bag of the Chicago Mix popcorn while it’s still warm. It’s heavenly.

  • My Mom’s Homemade Stuffing

Stuffing

Without a doubt, my favorite comfort food. This stuffing is a Thanksgiving staple in our house and one I look forward to eating every year!

  • Whipped Cream

Whipped Cream

Ryan told me whipped cream doesn’t really count as a food since it’s more of a topping but I disagree. It’s delicious and I love it. Especially homemade whipped cream.

  • Nut Butter (My Favorites: Peanut Butter + Almond Butter)

Nut Butter

The most addicting food on the planet. And so, so wonderful!

Question of the Morning

  • What foods could you eat every single day without ever getting sick of them?

More foods that I could eat every single day that didn’t appear above: Sushi, oysters, mussels, clams, guacamole, chocolate mousse, crab legs, chocolate chewy cookies, spaghetti bolognese, apples, pizza, watermelon… and more!

I'd love to connect with you! I am always so grateful when you let me know you tried one of my recipes or workouts and tag me in your photos or updates. Thank you so much!!!

    That’s a tough one! Umm… I would say bananas, toast with almond butter, hummus, pizza, raw honey, and pretty much any kind of muffin. Chicago-style popcorn is pretty addictive for me as well.

    Holy goodness PIZZA! My husband makes fun of me because no matter where we go to dinner I will find a way to eat pizza. Then chocolate (any kind), hummus and pita chips, peaches, fried steak (a favorite since I was just a little bitty thing)

    1. Chocolate (preferably the dark stuff)
    2. Peanut Butter
    3. Bananas
    4. Bean chips
    5. Turkey Bacon
    Also, that popcorn looks super interesting 😀

        I haven’t! What a great idea. How much do you add? Tabasco – whoa! You girls are getting serious with your popcorn. Sounds like I might have to play around with some ingredients and spice things up a bit. How do you add it?

          May 29, 2014 at 4:55 pm

          I guess it depends on how much popcorn you make! But I usually just use the juice of one lemon and then a lot of Parmesan haha

    Your list looks delicious! If I had to choose a few foods to eat every single day, I would pick pita chips & hummus, dill pickles {trader joes brand}, and white cheddar popcorn. Now I am starving!!

    I am obsessed with Greek yogurt! I eat it at least 1x, if not 2-3x a day! Others on my list would be ice cream and chocolate (also have this one every day) and on a healthy side, carrots, apples and pears!

    That ice cream sounds soo sooo good!! And I agree with you, whipped cream totally is a food, I sometimes consider is a food group….but anyways, yeah, definitely my favorite, but I don’t enjoy it too often, and when I do, I don’t have too much because I’m lactose intolerant. Almond butter, lara bars, bananas, Trader Joe’s 85% dark chocolate, berries, I never get sick of those and actually eat most of those everyday for that reason haha

    May 29, 2014 at 10:09 am

    Nut Butter is my number one!!! Ice cream is up there of the dairy free variety…cashew is the best! Dark chocolate tiffins (homemade raw chocolate loaded with fruit and nuts!), fried or poached eggs, roasted sweet potato and kabocha squash!

  34. Melanie says

    May 29, 2014 at 10:09 am

    Ryan is wrong – Whipped Cream is most certainly a food! 🙂 My cat even likes to eat it out of the spray can.

    And no life is complete without ice cream!

    This one is my favorite so far because I LOVE food!

    1. Guacamole

    4. Peel and eat shrimp
    5. Raw oysters

    Is your greek yogurt flavored or do you buy the plain style? I currently use vanilla and was just curious as to what flavor you use! My five would be: Popcorn, protein smoothies, Quest bars, dark chocolate, some sort of nut butter!
