Some brilliant member posted a question asking what everyone's top five foods were. I can't find the original post so I'm starting the thread again because I learned a lot from it. Mind you, these are OP foods, because my ultimate top five would be drastically different. I'll start it off:
In no particular order:
1. Vegetable broth
I cook just about everything with broth. It doesn't evaporate as quickly as oil sprays and is totally fat free.
2. Tofu
I'm a vegetarian so I eat a lot of this stuff. Baked, sauteed, stir-fried, at least once a day.
3. Frozen vegetables
I couldn't pick a particular vegetable. I boil up some veggie broth, throw in some potatoes, zucchini, broccoli, tofu and let it simmer for a bit, then reduce the heat and add frozen spinach, frozen pepper strips, frozen peas. I add a little couscous at the end and some tomato paste. It's my nightly ritual, a super healthy 'hash'. It actually sounds kind of gross in print but with garlic and lemon and a little salt, it's delish.
4. Fruit popsicles
Love these. I get them at Trader Joe's in strawberry and lemon. Sweet, cold with big chunks of fruit, they make an excellent dessert.
5. Skinny Cow cheddar cheese
I am so devoted to cheese. This is the best lo-fat cheese I've ever had.
I also eat a lot of Boca Burgers but alas! Only room for five.
Tell me your top five foods so I can bust out of my utterly predicatable grocery store routine!
Thanks so much!
