Do, Don't, Should

 Just because i adore something


Most definitely doesn't mean BF does
Especially when it comes to tonights dinner, but more on that later...


I enjoy changing recipes up to make them more appealing to my and BF's palate


(Am i the only one that finds palate to be an odd word? Makes me think i'm talking about stacks of wood instead of taste bud preferences, and now i just spent 10 minutes googling which is the correct way to spell it, i'm still a little confused, lets just move on!)


So i've made a list


Oh you know i did, i just love my lists


What i Do love to eat
What i Don't like to eat
What i Should eat but don't because i'm stubborn like that
_______________________________

But first i have to remember Thirsty Thursday!


This week is a little different


Cause you see its FREEZING outside


And i didn't want a smoothie


So i decided to share something else


Something that makes me sigh, smile, then giggle


Maybe you should try this recipe at home? ;o)

Ch-ch-ch-changes in FOOD preferences

What i Do love to eat now
Chia seeds
Apple butter
Wheatberrys
Old fashioned oatmeal

What i Refuse to eat
Dill
Almond essence
Peanut butter in Oatmeal
Cilantro 
Nuts in food (nuts alone? totally cool, nuts in food? ick!)

What i Should eat but don't because i'm stubborn like that
Mushrooms, ewwwww - i still can't bring myself to eat them!  One of my earliest foodie memories is at the Beefeater Steak House in England where i would eat the battered mushroom caps my parents would always order but first i had to pull the mushroom out, make some kind of gross noise and then eat the coating!  Even now the fact that the mushroom had touched (and infected) the batter makes me want to gag!


Yummm this is tasty, thanks for dropping all this salt and vinegar kale mum!
This is what Sydney will eat.... Anything!  I sometimes refer to her as my personal cleanup crew, i bet she would die of happiness if i let her up on the kitchen counters to clean up the mess i make, especially the red pepper left overs, red peppers are her most favourite food!

I used to hate mushrooms, but now I love them. I can't get into green tea. I will be cooking Easter dinner at home. Happy Easter!
NO plans for Easter, but glad someone else shares my general aversion to peanut butter in oatmeal. :)
No nut butters in oatmeal, what?? It's okay I forgive you :)

Love thirsty Thursdays. Today was the last 1/2 work day before spring break for me so I am sure that we will partake in a little wine tonight :)
i love and adore lists!! To Do lists, cleaning lists, shopping lists, books to read...lists are great! :)
mushrooms are one of my favourites, so i guess we don't see eye to eye there!...but if i had an experience like yours, i'd feel the same way! oh - love pb in my oatmeal - sorry! :)
have a great easter weekend, donna!!
I'm always a fan of lists! :)
As for peanut butter - you HAVE to add it to oatmeal. It's like a rule or something! ;)
Easter here is all about cleaning, painting, decluttering and staging! That and snuggling a bit with the hubby in between. Your wheatberry salad looks yummy!
I love lists. Sometimes I write things on to-do lists that I have already done, just so I can cross them off and feel accomplished. Yeah...
That wheatberry salad looks yummy, yummy. When I made my butter-not squash enchiladas last week I pureed the shrooms and you couldn't even tell they were in there - start there with your shrooms and maybe one day you'll enjoy them :) I only like mine cooked.
