What's your food obsession?

So I'm so obsessed with Boca tomato basil parmesan burgers!!! I also have a huge love for laughing cow light swiss cheese wedges! My newest obsession is raw spinach!!! I never knew how good it was!! It's wondeful as a salad base w/ some tofu, hommus and rediced fat feta!!!!! I also have forever been obsessed with pretzels!! What are some foods you guys obsess over?!?!

Corn Tortillas (60 calories, not bad at all!)

Black beans

Salsa

Cabbage

Butternut Squash

Reduced fat firm tofu (so much protien for so little calories!)

Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese

Frozen Blueberries

Skim Milk

Oranges (I find their high water content, and the time it takes to peel them make them extra satisfying)

Whole Wheat Spiral noodles

Miso Soup

Cilantro

Ginger/Garlic

Canned tomatos (use them to bulk up a range of foods, super convinient to have on hand)

Steel Cut Oatmeal (I make a couple of servings at a time and heat up individual servings in the morning) I think it tastes so much better than regular oatmeal

Baby Carrots and Hummus

I need more tips on what to order at restaurants and what to stick to at buffets

I cannot live without fresh fruit. Apples are undeniably my biggest vice EVER! If I am totally full, but I see/smell/feel a really fresh, crisp, firm apple, it's done for.

Other recent food phases include:

Multigrain cheerios with vanilla soy milk (SO GOOD!)

Homemade frozen bananas (I just melt one small square of Ghirardelli 86% Cocao chocolate and pour it over a frozen banana, sprinkle w/ ground flax or nuts for garnish... so easy and a real treat! Healthy, too, since I am controlling the chocolate amount.)

Soy yogurt w/ pumpkin seed granola mixed in

ZenSoy chocolate pudding w/ fresh berries mixed in

Apple, cucumber and onion sandwiches! It sounds crazy, but try it! I have mine with Veganaise, but add whatever else you wish!

Curry hummus (from my local farmer's market, to die for!) w/ carrots

Maple brown sugar oatmeal. Instant oatmeal is just too good sometimes.

Pretty much any vegan cookie ever.

Oh and one from a year ago, I was all about that Asian rice cracker mix, the kind with dried peas and sesame sticks. Not sure if I can have it anymore though, is that stuff vegan? I'll check... I kind of hope not, because it's starting to sound extremely tempting right about now! Haha.

Fun thread :)

Oh wow. That sounds really yummy! I definitely need to try that out.

Currently

-carrots with hummus

-boca burgers

-apples

-whole wheat pita bread

Turkey burgers loaded out with all the veggies, mustard and ketchup!!  OMG-- you feel like you are cheating, but they are so low cal!

I try to keep it varied, but there are some foods I just can't help but eat everyday.

Old fashioned oats

Broccoli

Cauliflower

Sweet potatoes

Apples

Air-popped popcorn 

Cinnamon-raisin bread

Kashi pumpkin spice granola bars

Frozen greek yogurt (literally)

Toast with apple butter

Emerald Cocoa Roast almonds

Vitamuffins

GAH!!!! I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO OBSESSED with garlic roasted brussels sprouts, salmon belly, sashimi of all types (especially EEL), hamachi collars, arctic char, steamed spinach, grass-fed bison & ostrich & beef & elk, coffee, spinach, cherry tomatoes, nori sheets & bell peppers!!!! 

- Oranges

- Grapes and Carrots (some sort of freakish but good salad)

- Canned Tuna

- Hot peppers

How does everyone have such incredibly healthy food obsessions??? I personally can't get enough of coffee crumble cake, carrot cake, pumpkin cake, and nachos. Yea....I've got something of a sweet tooth, and honestly, who doesn't love nachos?!

Mashed Potatoes and Gravy!!

 I'd eat them everyday if they weren't so loaded with calories. If anyone knows a healthy way to make them I'm all ears haha

I love Dannon light n' fit yogurt, oatmeal mixed with various things, & jalapenos/jalapeno hummus are my current fixations.

Put me down as another one obsessed with almond butter.  I just adore it.

Also asparagus.  That probably sounds weird, but ever since I was little asparagus has been my favorite food.  When I'm deep in an asparagus craving, it could be a zillion dollars a pound because it got imported from Saturn or wherever and I'd still buy it.

sweet potatoes

cottage cheese

apples, grapes

mushrooms

• PLAIN YOGURT; I could eat nothing but yogurt forever and ever.
• Cottage cheese (I like Friendship's 1% unsalted)
• Beans, heheh
• Chunk light unsalted tuna
• Feta cheese
• Flaxseeds
• Chicken
• Oatmeal pancakes, or oats in general
• Egg whites
• Almond butter
• Lara Bars
• Any fruits and veggies... except cabbage.
• Ezekiel sprouted bread products

I seriously eat all of those things every day and I LOVE EM!

 I've tried to go without it for about a week once and it was hard. At least I had a jar of cashew butter too - which is worth a try since it's quite tasty too!

Raw spinach as well.

Also fruits and sweet potatos.

So good,so good!
