It was bound to happen. I am addicted to juicing. Again.
I juiced half of a cantaloupe, 1 apple, and 4 strawberries this morning. I enjoyed it with 1 piece of French toast.
I am also addicted to cilantro. But you knew that :-)

Lunch was chicken noodle soup and an orange, and then for dinner we had trout and quinoa (red and white mixture) topped with pico de
I dumped ALL of this into my portion.
It wasn't enough.
I added some of this spice to the quinoa:
BOOOOOM.
10 on Tuesday: Foodie Edition

3. What ingredient do you find yourself reaching for the most when you cook? Cumin.
4. Are there any foods that you hated as a child, but then learned to like as an adult? Olives, shrimp, and most other seafood.
5. What do you like to eat that others may consider weird? About 1 T of ketchup stirred into my homemade chicken noodle soup. You HAVE to try it. It does not make the soup taste like ketchup. I also like chia seeds, PB in Source brand vanilla yogurt, etc. etc..
6. What is the weirdest ingredient you’ve ever cooked with? I am not sure what is weird anymore and what is not ... perhaps chia seeds!?
7. Do you have any major food allergies? Nope. But the last couple of times I ate pomegranate arils plain, they made my mouth itch a little - weird!
8. Is there an ingredient that you would like to cook with, but are intimidated to try? A whole fish (with head on).
9. Do you bake? Yes, but I prefer to cook. I also rarely eat my baking, because I would prefer to eat something else. Like cheese.
10. If you could go on any “foodie” show to compete, which one would it be, and why? Iron chef. I would want the theme to be either: bacon, Gruyere cheese or lime.
What are your answers to the above questions - choose one, or answer them all :-) ?

Haha, I love the brand name for that spice rub! And cilantro makes absolutely everything better. I knew a girl in college though who refused to touch it - she said it tasted like dishwater! Insane child!
I definitely would be intimidated by a whole fish as well!
Foods I hated as a child but learned to like/love as an adult are bell peppers, squash, pineapple and blackeberries... I agree with you on the PB stirred into vanilla yogurt x a million. That is one of the greatest combos ever!
Blueberries are totally one food I hated but now ADORE!! I eat like 2 containers of them a week. Just a tad bit obsessed ;)
OOOH you added a banana to the peanut butter bacon sandwhich! NICE!
I probably shouldn't tell you this, but I cannot cilantro. Just can't stand it. Apparently, for some people, it triggers a mental - a taste reaction - that makes them think SOAPY - and I'm one of those people...And I loved olives as a child, so much so that my neighborhood pizza place would bring me a little bowlful to snack on while we waited for pizza.
I've never done a head-on fish before either, but it sounds like an interesting challenging.
I'm a HUGE coriander fan! (cilantro) I use it in salads whenever I can, yum :D
I never thought I liked seafood in my childhood but now love it!
An incredible plate of fish. And cilantro does make everything taste extra special!! Love the way you served it up:)
It was fun to read your answer. I like that we both said cumin for a spice we go for! I go through quite a bit of that in my kitchen. :)
I prefer to bake but unfortunately I prefer to eat my own baking (exclusively). Since I hate to share and I like to make large quantities I don’t eat much of anything else until it’s gone so I don’t bake that often except when I have to give it away. I get a lot of my inspiration from the Food Network and love to watch Ina Garten bake. I catch her show on my iPhone these days because I have live and recorded TV from my DISH Network DVR at home. It really saved my marriage since we don’t like the same shows and my wife would prefer that I don’t watch TV at home. My Slingbox gives me the TV anywhere I go and right now is my most prized possession other than my family.
Mmm fresh juice! I just got my own juicer and so far the only combo I've tried is orange with a bit of mango. So yummy!
The spice I use the most has got to be cinnamon.
I love those questions. I subscribe to Bon Appetit, too. I used to hate broccoli, love it now. Um, I eat a LOT of weird things.
Chia seeds are certainly weird, and I don't want to try them ever. lol.
You should juice cilantro! I wonder if that would be good? Probably not... I miss my juicer. It broke. :(
I didn't like seafood as a kid, either. I still don't really like it that much. I don't like white pepper.
My answer is the same as yours for number 5. It's the best, isn't it?
i couldn't agree more...no ingredient is weird now that we read food blogs!! And what show would i like to be on..next foodnetwork star!! you know I love attention!!!
Yes to cheese! But on top of a muffin ;) Can't I have it both ways? :)
I'm not really a fan of Iron Chef. But Top Chef I love (finale on Monday here in Canada!), and Bobby Flay's showdown isn't bad either.
YES to ketchup!!! You'd be amazed at what that red sauce can do to any dish!
