My latest favourite food [although how is it possible to choose just one?] is a recipe using ground beef and curry that I concocted while trying to think of something new to do with the ground beef in my freezer.

My favorite food is plain yogurt with frozen berries on top-I like mixed berries, i.e. marionberries, raspberries, and blueberries. I know it’s weird, but I prefer the berries frozen because the taste is a little sharper.

124 Shelley

125 Kay

My all-time favorite food has to be oatmeal! I never, ever get tired of it and eat it every morning. Can’t stand the instant kind, but use the old-fashioned oats and cook in the microwave. Yummy stuff! Thanks for the chance to win and sure hope I do! :-)

126 Erin

128 Joanne

Picking a favorite is tough. I guess I have to go with what I eat most of which is salad. I love all kinds of really GREEN salads. The more veggie variety in them,the better.

I am a simple girl to please. I love bacon. And cheese. Hey, grilled cheese with bacon is actually kind of a perfect food. And if you made it with Eggo waffles instead of bread I might die of happiness.

133 Sagan

My favourite foods change according to my mood- but right this instant I’m all about a plain and simple, classic spartan apple smothered in peanut butter (PB2, to be exact). Mmmm. As for a proper meal… Spanish paella would be perfect right about now.

Great site and how generous of a giveaway is this!! Congratulations on reaching 100 posts:D

134 B_Healthy

Congratulations on 100 Posts! Wow! They are all truly impressive posts as well!

My favorite dish/recipe OF YOURS is a recent one- Roasted Blueberry Chicken with Pecans because it contains three of my favorite things, chicken, blueberries and pecans!

I never thought of added those together as you did. I have had all of them in a salad before ( from Panera) but I think your idea is absolutely fantastic. Very creative!
That is by far my favorite of yours.

135 Kristy

Here in Toronto you might have found some good options, but il Fornello’s has been a favourite in the city.
Wood Fired, thin crust, escargots garlic and snow peas.
Yum!

tony vincent

161 FarNorth

Wow, I guess I like food too much. There are way too many good foods out there. I think my all time favorite is the artery clogging goodness that is Redfish Pontchartrain. It is a panbroiled fillet topped with crabmeat & shrimp in a brown-butter wine sauce with dirty rice.

162 Rose

One of my favorite meals is Turkey Piccatta (which we had last night) – I am such a sucker for anything with capers.

I also love my morning oatmeal, of course, doused in cinnamon.

CONGRATS ON REACHING 100 POSTS!

163 fiona

I love chicken caesar salads. They’re my absolute favorite. Congratulations! Your blog is wonderful.

Hi again!
I linked you on my blog – i know you said to let you know so I posted a link to your giveaway this morning…

http://runlmo1.blogspot.com/2008/12/happy-thursday-to-all.html

166 Ashley

My favorite dish is my grandmother’s chicken & dumplings. Try as I might, I can never make them as good as hers!

167 chinze

Wow – congrats on 100! I love getting your emails every day. My favorite food is chocolate. That said, I don’t just like anything that’s chocolate – can’t stand those “chocolate lover’s cakes” or “chocolate overload” desserts. They just overlap chocolate flavors and it’s one big mess. I like desserts that highlight one chocolate flavor (yes – something as simple as a chocolate chip cookie!). I do have a crazy sweet tooth, though, for just about anything sweet that is decently made. As my husband knows, if we have it in the house, and he doesn’t get to it the first night, there may not be any left by the time he wakes up in the morning!

168 LGB

Pizza is my fav!

169 yasmeen

Congrats !
My favorite dish is the flavorful Lamb Biryani:)

170 Lindsay

I make a wonderful herb stuffed turkey breast that is so moist and delicious

171 LT

Probably a chunk of good quality dark chocolate with a perfect cup of coffee! My mom’s pasties, szechuan shrimp, and curry chicken are also up there!

172 Jean D.

My family goes LOONY for my meat loaf. They really do–meat loaf night is a major hit in this house. I love it, too, but mostly I like the good feelings that come from sitting down to a great meal with the fam.

Generous giveaway! Thank you so much.

173 Kasey

Happy 100th!

Comfort foods – tater tots, mashed potatoes, mac n’ cheese, chili mac (if it’s bad for me, I apparently love it). Yummy!

174 Megan

Congrats on 100 posts! My favorite food of the moment is veggie tacos with cheese, salsa and sour cream. Had them last night–yummy yum!!

175 TheHealthyHostess

Hmmm… what food do I not like?! I totally took your idea on the portobello pizza a few weeks ago – AMAZING! And the warm milk and root veggie mix! Those are just a few I have starred on my Google Reader recently!

Tough decisions! Before my diet makeover, the list would have included pizza, BLTs, french fries and so on. But these days, it’s roasted veggies (really, roasted anything!) and brown rice with soy sauce. Yum.

203 natalie

my favorite dish is homemade pizza with lots of fresh veggies!

204 Patrick

My Mom makes a great Italian chicken dish. You need to cut chicken breasts in very thin slices, tenderize them (pound them), then dip them in eggs and Italian bread crumbs. Then fry them in some light oil. They are so tender, juicy, and delicious. I can eat a plateful. :)

205 Weight Ladder

My favorite diet dish is turkey bacon. My favorite comfort food is mac and cheese.

206 Jessica C

My favorite food is cheesecake.

207 Lindsey (Mrs. LC)

Not to totally slack on picking my favorite food, but seriously? My favorite food really changes depending on my tastes. Many times chocolate is a favorite (that counts as a favorite food, right?). Definitely a favorite food in moderation though! :)

208 amanda

I could subsist on apples and pretzels – they are my two favorite foods, hands down!!

209 mama

My favorite recipe is a pork tenderloin wellington. Everytime I have made it, I get rave reviews and the presentation makes it spectacular! I got it out of a magazine years ago and it has never failed to impress.

218 Lauren

Wow, awesome contest! This would be amazing to win.
My favorite dish? I’m not really sure…I love spaghetti though. I’ve been on a kick for that recently!

235 Nick

If I had to choose a single favorite dish, it would be something simple, like soft scrambled eggs, or pasta with olive oil and garlic.

236 Jules

It HAS to be lasagne, but only the one made by my mother. I wish I could replicate it, but it never quite tastes the same…

Congrats on the 100 posts!

One of my favorite foods is whole grain bread. I make 4-6 loaves at a time and we eat it with butter straight out of the oven or with sandwiches, meals and so on.

When it isn’t formed into loaves, I roll it out and make cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting.

241 Rachel S.

CONGRATS ON 100!!! I might be a ‘lurker’ coming out of the woodwork to comment, but I am a 100% full-time supporter (and recent subscriber!!) of the blog! YAY! :)

Well, although I am a workout-aficionado and health food nut, I do love the occasional southern cookin’ every now and then. (After all, I do live in NASHVILLE!! Music City baby!) My mom started making this dinner when we lived in the midwest where we’re from, and I have requested it for every special occasion I could squeeze it in on! Here’s the indulgent, not-so-healthy but totally worth it FEAST:

Fried chicken tenders (she breads and fries them up)
White country gravy
Mashed potatoes (Comfort food in a bowl)
Green been casserole (LOVE.)
Sliced cooked carrots
Annddd……Milo’s Splenda sweetened tea :)

Can it get any better?!
Well, if it was calorie-free, maybe :)

249 Sarah

264 Laila

My favorite dish is Lemongrass Soup. It’s made with meatballs, bok choy, mushrooms, coconut milk, lemongrass powder mix, and whatever other veggies I have on hand. You should give it a shot – you can make it with chicken/beef/veg if you prefer.

first time here….Megan sent me… lol….

I would have to say chicken is my favourite food…. most recipes. But… my all time fav is a simple roasted chicken stuffed with lemons, onions and garlic… smeared with a bit of butter and rubbed with spices… It is soooo moist inside and has a wonderful taste of lemon permeating the meat .. the skin gets nice and and brown..not quite crispy…mmmmmmm……oh, yeh….

267 AlohaTech

My favorite dish is a big juicy steak (medium rare)

268 thebrunettebaker

271 Leslie

Congratulations!!! I just celebrated my 100th post too, but I only gave away a box of delicious tea…

My favorite food is very hard to pin down, as I tend to love all kinds of food equally. Probably sushi, pizza, or chocolate. How’s that for a wide variety?

I just found your site recently, I love it!

272 psuklinkie

‘Grats on 100 posts!
One of my many favorite meals starts with something I saw on your blog — the easy whole wheat bread. My favorite breakfast is that bread slathered in butter and cinnamon sugar with some maple sausage and sliced apples. Mmmmm!

273 rosasharne

my favorite foods are all fruits…pomegranates, berries, lemons…

276 Stephanie

278 cher48603

Another pizza lover here.

279 joellen

I really love anything with Alfredo sauce…yum!

280 Julie

I always get confused when somebody asks my favorite food, but since I’ve got the spicy shredded pork I had for dinner on my mind, I’ll say that.

281 Judith

Gosh, it’s exceedingly difficult to pick *one* favourite food, but if you’re tying me to a wall and forcing me I’d say mushroom caviar. Fantastic, creamy, mushroomy, sherry-y, you can’t go wrong.

282 stephchows

Hmm I’d have to say my favorite food is hot out of the oven bread…. mmmmmmmmmm

283 Ron Merlin

My favorite food is undoubtedly, fresh, hot, homemade bread.

Nothing better than that.

285 hope

My favorite dish is definitely sirloin steak with mashed potatoes and steamed veggies! Yummmmm… :)

286 Kayjbe

289 Tammi

I’m on a really intense honey kick lately- marinating tofu in honey, stirring it into greek yogurt, making PB and honey sandwiches…

Great contest!

290 Patricia

Oatmeal. I look forward to it EVERY morning. Usually with raisins and walnuts and whatever fresh fruit we have on hand–most often berries, though I do love it with chopped apples and cinnamon. Don’t care for sweets in the morning so I don’t add any sugar or sweetener.
