Five foods

Five Foods... this should be fun! 

5. Cotton Candy Ice Cream

This ice cream is not only delicious, it is also medication. I have been on a cotton candy ice cream kick for the last month or so, and one day, I had a horrible headache. I took tylenol, I rested, I drank water, I drank caffeine, I turned off all the lights, nothing. Head throbbed. When I had my nightly bowl of this wonder, the head ache immediately disappeared! Meijer, the wonder ice cream! 

4. Greek Salad

I haven't had this in a while because feta is a pregnancy no-no, but I will admit, I had two of them since getting pregnant. I always get this sans olives and onions, but, the picture doesn't show beets and banana peppers. I can't perfect this salad at home for some reason. Maybe because I never have all the ingredients? lol 

3.  Panera bread. 

It's so exciting to go to Panera since Derek passionately hates it. Apparently it is not enough food for his growing body. But I looooove it. I could eat it everyday. I always get a turkey sandwich on asiago bread with broccoli cheddar soup. 

2. Arabic Food

I love me some garlic. We go all out when we eat arabic. It started in high school when I'd go with my girlfriends. We would easily take on two bowls of garlic with out meal. Who cares if we stink for days after? Now I have recruited Derek to be in on the fun. I get the same variation of foods each time I go. A chicken shawarma sandwich, fattoush salad, rice with almonds, grilled veggies, and of course, the bread and garlic. I don't get all of these, but the sandwich and bread are a consistent part of the meal, the rest are my choices for sides. Yum! 

1. Sweet Potato Fries

Not just any sweet potato fries, but the ones from The Barrel Room in San Diego. I'm not even surprised that they had a picture of these delicious fantasies on google. I dream of these and I am salivating as I stare at them. Anyway, we went to this restaurant while we were waiting for our friend to be done at the emergency room on vacation. (long story) I thought I was going to starve that night because the menu is mainly burgers and I was burgered out at that point.... not to mention the RABBIT SAUSAGE and mac and cheese dinner that was a specialty at this particular restaurant. (SICK!) I opted for sides. I ordered a side salad and sweet potato fries. Hands down, this was the best meal of the entire trip. 

This was a tricky game for a pregnant lady to play today. Needless to say, I am now starving and have very particular ideas on what I'd like to eat. If it weren't Black Friday and I know most places I could go to get these things will be jam packed with holiday shoppers, I would be in my car right now...or on a plane on my way to San Diego. The grilled cheese I had planned for lunch just doesn't sound so appealing anymore. Ah, well. I'll use my imagination.
