So tell me about the weird food combinations you've come up with on the fly that have turned out really fabulous.

Last week at work one of my friends made a sandwich out of:
-Orowheat Sandwich Thin
-Mustard
-Veganaise
-sliced Avocado
-sliced Strawberries

At first I was revolted. But she badgered me into taking a bite and it was tasty!

Tonight I just threw together a sandwich of:
-toasted Orowheat Sandwich Thin
-Laughing Cow Swiss Cheese
-sliced Pink Lady Apple

It was pretty darn good.

So fess up! Tell me your weird food combinations so I can give them a try.

    For breakfast... I love 2 egg whites "fried" in a spray of olive oil cooking spray. I take 2 Wasa fiber crackers and use a teaspoon of mayonnaise between them (so not much on either one) - then put the eggs on top of the crackers. It's a good hit of protein, fat and fiber first thing in the morning... and I love the crunch.

    For lunch... I found this great cranberry and wasabi sauce made by Silver Spring - I like to mix 2 teaspoons of it (20 calories) with a cup of Dole Coleslaw mix. I put this on sandwiches or use it as a bed for a small serving of chicken... it's good fiber and very tasty.

    And my latest favorite is brown rice mixed with edamame.... YUMMMM - good combo of textures and again, a good hit of protein!

    a cup of Kashi Go Lean cereal
    a 6 oz container of Yoplait non fat White Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt
    1/2 container of Premier Protein Shake, or 4 oz of Bolthouse Chocolate Protein drink

    This is fantastic as a meal for breakfast, but reduce the portions to 1/2 cup of cereal, and 1/2 the yogurt, and a bit less on the protein shake and you have a fantastic tasty snack or dessert.

    Weird but good.

    BTW, thanks for the tip about edemame and brown rice. Never thought of putting them together, but it makes sense.

    Not that I can eat this anymore ...

    I used to love peanut butter & mayonnaise sandwiches, with dill pickle relish and lettuce (on white bread preferably).

    Most people I've met find it repulsive, but it really is pretty tasty.

    Friend of mine loves mayo and banana sandwiches. I tried a bite once and it wasn't my cup of tea.

    I mix Kashi Go-lean crunch with activia light vanilla, and dip a banana in it. Pretty freaking delicious, and a good change from always drinking milk with cereal.

    I like putting egg whites in my oatmeal which some people find weird, but it kind of makes it like custard. Sometimes I put in canned pumpkin or cooked banana or cinnamon too. Cheez whiz and jam on toast is a gooder too. Sour cream on fruit with some splenda. I guess maybe I think this things are weird but they're not that bad. I use to like mayo on toast though thats a little weird.

    I made this for my baby. Now it's my favorite breakfast. Plain yogurt, a spoonful of almond butter, and a banana all mushed together. Delightful.

    By the way, thanks for making me feel less odd for my childhood love for mayo and strawberry jelly sandwiches.

    PopSecret 100 calorie minibags and light or fat free Italian dressing. Sounds weird, but I drizzle a little over the popcorn and occasionally add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. It's DELICIOUS!

    These both sound really good.

    I miss sushi. Not that it's necessarilly bad for yme, but I always overeat when I go out for sushi, so I make a "Shrimp Snack' that I have to satisfy those cravings.

    I mix shrimp, Krab, Fake Lobster meat with chopped green onions, a little mayo (lite) and chili paste. I dish it into 4 oz servings. It's about 130 calories.

    This just brought back my childhood - one of my FAVES growing up. I used to always put chips in my sandwiches! :happy:

    I add cottage cheese and plain yogurt to so many things. Some people think it's weird... but I don't care! :wink: I add cottage cheese to my cooked oatmeal, makes it yummy and creamy!

    Plain yogurt + chocolate protein powder (Shakeology) + 1 Tablespoon of Naturally More PB. It's like chocolate PB pudding! :bigsmile:

    Baked potatoes or sweet potatoes topped w/ plain yogurt is another yummy combo!

    And any kind of seasonings on popcorn... I love garlic powder and chili powder for spicy popcorn!

    Growing up I used to have a sandwich I'd make when we came home from church. I'd toast some bread & spread on mayo. Then I pile a bunch of bbq chips on the bread & smash it all down.

    Make a peanut butter sandwich, no jelly but smash nacho cheese doritos in between :)

    Munchos chips dipped into a mixture of cream cheese & miracle whip.

    sunshine sandwiches were big growing up. 2 slices of white bread & you draw a sunshine smiley face in mustard. we were kinda poor.

    Can't be an Ohio thing. I grew up in Idaho and it was my favorite thing as a kid too. Heck, who am I kidding. I did that at a picnic last year! haha.

    I follow a bajillion food blogs.

    I just found a recipe for scrambled eggs with ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, and CREAMED CORN.

    This bologna concoction is apparently is a "Kid" thing, rather than regional. I recall a friend when I was about 10, living here in Washington state who made such a creation for me and pronounced it her favorite. I can't recall if I liked it then, but I would not be likely to try it now as I avoid processed meat because of the nitrates, but maybe the same idea with nitrate free ham would be interesting, and the vanilla yogurt and shredded wheat sounds good to.
