MMSM Food

Welcome to the MMSM food edition. There are two things I wanted to post on today. First thing, I thought I'd post a list of our favorite foods. Our favorite foods are a conglomeration of foods from Mike's family, my family, and foods we've made up or tried.

We like any kind of Mexican food I think. Some of the favorites though are Mexican Lasagna, Cafe Rio, chips and homemade salsa, Mexican Meat Mix for chimichangas, homemade guacamole, Mexican Chicken casserole, and Mike likes Chili Rellano Casserole.

We also like Chinese food--yoki soba, pot stickers, stir Fry's, lo mien, whatever.

Other random foods that we like are stroganoff, soups (Mom's chicken soup, Marcy's Creamy White Chili), BBQ short ribs, Chicken Salad to die for (does anyone in Mike's family know the real name for this?), fruit smoothies, homemade pizza, Creamy Italian Chicken. I can't think of any more off the top of my head.

Desserts we really like are Gay Chess Tarts (Mike's all time favorite), pies (mom's blueberry cream cheese pie...mmmmm), cheese cake, any ice cream but Mike really likes Blue Bell Bunny tracks.

Most of these foods are very unhealthy for you, which is why we love them I'm sure. In my quest to lose 65 lbs (40 something of pregnancy weight and twenty I want to lose on top of that) we have turned to fresh fruit salads, smoothies with yogurt and no sugar (still so, so yummy), whole grain breads and pasta, low fat sour cream when we can handle it, lots of fresh veggies, I can't believe it's not butter, very limited sweets. Mike eats ice cream in the kitchen when he thinks I don't know what he is doing. Silly husband. I have turned to eating only a scoop of ice cream. And finally, smaller food proportions.



Which brings me to Super size Me. If you haven't watched the documentary I would recommend it. We really liked it. This could be an entire different post so I will save talking about it for another day. But until then, rent the movie and watch it. Oh, and I've lost 50 lbs so far! Don't become overweight because it's so hard to get skinny again. Dang kids! And yummy foods!
