We also were lucky as the weather cooperated much better than expected based on the forecasts earlier in the week, and we were able to go to a park and on




Now on to the award. Last week, Melinda from Nutrition, Food, Travel and More awarded me the Versatile Blogger award.

Melinda is an R.D. and a military wife. I started following her blog when she lived on the Azores, and I loved following along her island adventures. And I always was a bit jealous of the amazing cheese and olive appetizers that accompanied many of the meals she ate there…

I’m supposed to share seven things about myself with my readers. I have shared quite a few “unknown” facts about myself in previous posts, so I thought I’d share my seven favorite foods with you today (you may know some or even most of them, but I’m sure some are new):
- Tomatoes. If I could only eat one food for the rest of my life it would definitely be tomatoes. I would never get tired of them…
- Beets. This one is funny to me as I seriously disliked beets until I was about 35. Now I love them, especially roasted or with a vinegar dressing/marinade.
- Avocados. Avocadoes and tomatoes go so well together…
- Sweet potatoes: Another food I truly disliked for many years but has become a favorite in recent years.
- Hot chocolate. Growing up, I DID NOT like chocolate AT ALL. In fact, I got mad whenever I received chocolate as a gift. But recently, I have grown very fond of chocolate, and even more recently, of hot chocolate.
- Cheese. I love pretty much any cheese (and always have!) and have to seriously control myself around it…
- Radishes. I have always loved radishes, and recently hubby has started to love them as well.
And now on to this week’s menu:
Meal 1: Pizza with sautéed mushrooms and onions. I’ll recreate the pizza using TJ’s whole wheat refrigerated pizza dough that was such a hit in our house a few weeks ago. We’ll have a salad with it.
Meal 2: Quesadillas with black beans, avocado, salsa, and Greek yogurt.
Meal 3: Salmon and roasted veggies
Meal 4: Pasta & veggies.
Meal 5: Leftovers.
Questions: What are some of your favorite foods? What’s on your menu this week? What was the highlight of your weekend?
Be well,
Andrea
