A,B,Cs of Food...

I saw this on Lisa's blog and thought it was cool.  A nice little lunch-time diversion... and something fun for the weekend!

A: is for Apple, what’s your favorite variety?
I prefer Granny Smith and Opal apples

B: is for Bread, regardless of nutrition, calories, or whole grains what is your favorite type to have a nice big piece of?
I would have to go with Pumpkin Bread or Chocolate Chip-Pumpkin Bread - so good!

C: is for Cereal what is your favorite kind currently (just one!)

I have never been one to enjoy cereal.  If I had to choose, I would say Kashi GoLean Crunch mixed in yogurt.

D: is for Doughnuts, you might not currently be eating them but what kind do you fancy?

I can't tell you the last time I had a donut.  I don't really like them all that much (I know!  It is terrible!).  I guess since Krispy Kreme is a North Carolina company, I'd stick with them.

E: is for Eggs, how would you like yours prepared?
I have delicious memories of my Daddy fixing eggs over easy and mixing them in my grits.  So yummy!

F: is for Fat Free, what is your favorite fat free product?
Chobani Green Yogurt!

G: is for Groceries, where do you purchase yours at?
Trader Joe's, Costco, and Harris Teeter

H: is for Hot Beverages, what is your favorite hot drink?
Coffee...  I love black coffee, Skinny Vanilla Lattes, Skinny Caramel Lattes.

I: is for Ice Cream, pick a favorite flavor and add a fun topping.

My favorite used to be "Confession Obsession" by Ben & Jerry's.  I think they quit making it.

J: is for Jams or Jellies, do you eat them, and if so what kind and flavor?
I don't really care for jams or jellies.  My Granny used to make some yummy preserves that I liked to put on biscuits.

K: is for Kashi, name your favorite Kashi product?
GoLean Crunch!

T: is for travel, how do you handle eating while traveling?
If the hubs and I are going on a car trip, I tend to take a small cooler with some of my favorite healthy snacks - cheese, oranges, apples, and Nature Valley crunchy granola bars.  If we are on vacation, we generally travel to Walt Disney World.  I have plenty of healthy options there for snacks and meals.

I don't think this is weird, but some of my friends do - grits, sauteed shrimp, black beans, and salsa
