Freeze your leftovers. I’m in the same boat - great recipes make too much food to eat before I tire of it. But some, like pot roast, freeze easily.
I could eat a chicken leg quarter every day with no problem - either grilled with barbeque sauce, or roasted with onion powder, garlic powder and paprika on it. It’s also unlikely I’d ever get tired of hot dogs, though I’m not planning to ever test that out. (The chicken thing, though, is solid - I did that when I was living in a yeshiva dorm.)
I think I could eat strawberries forever. They’re just fantastic. And you wouldn’t really need to do much of anything special to them. They don’t need a chocolate coating. They don’t need a dusting of sugar. They don’t need whatever the folks operating the street carts back when I was living in Oakland offered to top the strawberries with. I mean, they’re certainly a little more satisfying if they’re cold, but I wouldn’t turn down a strawberry simply because it was at room temperature.
bbq sauce… I ate it for almost every day for 4 years … why because it was that or ranch sauce to make the possibly spoiled jr high food edible… its my ketchup
I’m on my third air fryer. Chicken thighs and roasted cut up potatoes, twice a week. Drumsticks are sometimes $1 each here, though on occasion I’ll splurge for chicken breast tenders, dip in a little mayonnaise and seasoned panko crumbs. Good hot or cold.
Rare steak with a Greek salad
Pork and shrimp shumai.
Please give this nice lady my scrapple.
Chilli! When I make Chilli I eat it for a week straight. Doesn’t hurt that I often start with beef, beans, and seasonings and then add whatever I have into it day by day thus making something kinda different each day.
Just had rice and beans for lunch. Yum! I could eat a big bowl of that every single day!
On impulse, I bought a bag of Splits Extra Dark Pretzels over the weekend. If you are the kind of person that nibbles on the dark spots of your pretzels, avoid these!
I. Can’t. Stop. Eating. Them. (and they are expensive as hell!) Help!
I could eat sushi every day but I’d probably die of mercury poisoning.
I could eat lobster every day, but I would probably not be able to pay my rent
I could eat eggs benedict every day, but I’d probably have a heart attack.
I could eat Mexican food every day, but … actually, there is no “but.”
Mexican food it is.
Actually you probably couldn’t, or rather, wouldn’t want to. I read a book once about someone training to be a sushi chef, and at the end of a long day the master chefs and the students typically were anxious for anything but fish. A burger would suit them fine. I absolutely adore good sushi and sashimi, but the outrageous cost at a really first-rate sushi restaurant seriously limits the frequency of my indulgences and guarantees I’ll never tire of it.
As for my own “never get tired of” preferences, Italian is probably at the top of the list. I don’t know how well I’d get by in Italy, as I might be thinking of the more domestic styles. But pizza, spaghetti, fettuccine, ravioli, and similar pastas are among my faves. Certain Asian foods also top the list, most notably Singapore noodles, but dozens of other dishes typically regarded as “Chinese”. And finally, Indian curries, like lamb curry and butter chicken, but I probably couldn’t tolerate a steady diet of those – it’s more of a lovely occasional dish. A good homemade burger fresh off the grill is also on my list.
Culver’s chocolate custard
Yes, ma’am, but I reckon I’m more of a Kroger Delivery kinda guy, now (cheaper and more convenient than Publix). But, Publix sells Habbersett scrapple, and Kroger don’t. So, I haven’t given up on Publix entirely (plus, Pub’s Subs are the world’s finest).
My SIL had the ones from UTZ. Very tasty.
She served them with some sort of sweet-ish mustard. I‘m still debating whether I should ask her what it was because it was so good.
Sushi is not, contrary to popular opinion, ‘lumps of raw fish’. Sushi can be, and is, quite often entirely fish free. Spam Musubi, Oshinko, Avocado roll, Philly roll are popular ones and don’t contain any icky mercury-filled fish. Even if there is a bit of crab or shrimp in sushi, it’s the size of a pea and isn’t going to kill you.
In response to this:
When it’s hot and I find cold foods appealing, potato salad is a staple for me. Potatoes, carrot, boiled egg, peas and chopped parsely. Add sashimi or shrimp or tuna, etc. Store in fridge in container with a lid (Tupperware) and mix mayonnaise into each serving before eating with some kind of crackers.
They can be sweetened with some balsamic vinegar sprinkled over them too. Not needed when berries are at their best, but the ones you buy in the winter might need the vinegar. I generally do not buy summer fruits in winter, though, however, sometimes ya just gotta have some berries. Honey on strawberries is also very nice, if they need a sweetener
Quality flash frozen is always more of a win for me than the freshest “fresh but shipped” produce during the winter. They’re almost always so underripe and tasteless as to make the cravings worse rather than better. But that’s IMHO.
