    I have been very into custom personal gluten-free pizzas. Usually I concede to sharing a pizza with husband but he loves tomato sauce and I have ALWAYS disliked it on my pizza. We also prefer different toppings generally so it’s a lot of compromise for both of us. But I’ve been bougiee lately and just getting my own dang pizzas with no sauce and all the stuff I like and it’s just been so, so good lmao

    Right now, anything smothered in NM red chile sauce. NM red chile sauce just screams "the holidays". Made baked potatoes with greek yogurt and bacon smothered in red chile and topped with cheddar on Friday. Red Chile Chicken Enchiladas last night and leftovers for lunch this afternoon. Fried eggs topped with red chile sauce this morning for breakfast and I still have a big container of the red chile sauce I made over the weekend sitting in the fridge. Posole and tamales Christmas Eve.

    ‘Red shell’ miso dressing. More sugar than I’d like to admit and some questionable oil (soy) but so. Dang. Good.

    A Tbsp goes a looooong way. Like half a giant tub of greens, if you are a diligent mixer upper.

    Hard boiled eggs.

    Same. My daily breakfast lately! I discovered a new (to me) method of cooking them this morning that led to them being PERFECT between medium and hard boiled and not dry. I'm already excited for breakfast tomorrow.

    and what would this be? curious!

    I’m a huge fan of the perfectly custardy yolk. I find steaming them (not actual boiling), full rolling boil, 7.5 mins, then a dunk in ice water as a stop-bath (about a minute), then submerged in the boiling water (few seconds) then back to ice for a minute - perfectly cooked, and easy to peel. The steaming helps with the peel, but the ice-hot-ice finisher makes them contract away from the shell and stops the cooking process. I always thought I hated boiled eggs. Turns out my whole life I’d only had them cafeteria style overdone, also known as ‘grandmas deviled eggs.’ The powdery yellow is super gross to my taste, but when cooked less, I love the very center to be custard and the whole yolk avoids the powdery death sulfur effect that is the fate of most ‘boiled’ eggs.

    Ginger paste (comes in tubes). Add to coffee for good taste only 15 calories. Speaks fall to me like pumpkin spice.

    Rhythm brand crunchy cauliflower is back at my Costco! I bought 2 bags. I was so sad when they stopped carrying it last year.

    I also got a big bag of Meyer lemons and have been adding them to pretty much every drink. They’re my favorite for hot lemonade, which is usually a ‘sick person’ drink in my house but I have been craving lately. Had a big cup the other night and it was awesome :)

    Cabbage. I just can't stop eating it, it's an obsession. I add it fresh to all salads, I munch on whole leaves for snacks, I make shredded cabbage braised with mushrooms and tomato sauce almost weekly. I just can't stop. Christmas eve is near, it might nudge my mind away towards other foods, or so I hope because I'm sick of shredding cabbage every day.

    Halloumi. Yet again. Happily, it’s pretty high protein and I can use the fats. I’m just clearing room in my diary for three servings at a time.

    Easily available, since there seems to be a feta and blue cheese shortage locally, and I do like cheesy something in my giant salads. Probably because nobody understands what halloumi is, so that makes it all for meeeeeee!!!!!!

    @amusedmonkey Good to see I'm not the only one obsessed with cabbage! I went through a phase of eating it almost every other night for dinner for well over a year and did not tire of it at all! I like making it as a stir fry (no oil or anything) and just add different additions like lima beans, potatoes, soy curls, etc. Then I add vinegar and hot sauce to the bowl....instant smiles. :smiley:

    I will match that obsession too! For me it's still the red/purple cabbage that reigns. A meal just isn't the same without the stuff!❤️💜

    Yeah, I Iove it sauteed too, and potatoes go really well with it. Today we're having cabbage rolls.

    I see “cabbage rolls” and immediately think, “you can make bread out of cabbage? I’m in!!!”.

    Hellmann's lemon Za'atar vinaigrette!! 50 calories per 15ml - the taste is equally amazing on romaine lettuce and chicken! Glad I was able to get a $1 off coupon for it too.

    Not exactly bread, and not exactly rolls, but close enough and awesome all the same. Mom makes an amazing version of this:

    It looks like deep fried cabbage stuffed dough puffs? Those look amazing. How are they seasoned? I’m hungry just looking at that pic.

    My SIL is Russian. His grandmother made melt in your mouth spelt cookies for their wedding. I’d never had spelt before. She ain’t giving up that recipe. I tried.

    They're pan fried with enough oil until golden then flipped (they're soft, not crunchy). I don't know what they're called in English (mom is Russian). I don't know exactly how she seasons it either, but I think it's salt, pepper, and some generic seasoning? All I know is she adds onions to the cabbage filling. She lightly caramelizes the onions then adds the cabbage to braise. Caramelized onions is all the seasoning I need.

    See’s Chocolates.

    Bought a box in San Diego last week. Managed to (mostly) just eat one or two a day.

    Discovered yesterday there’s a pop up store right up the street. Discovered today it’s closed.

    Dang!!!! I mean, Thank heavens.

    Cheesecake!! As long as there's no nuts on it. Funny thing is I hated it growing up. My mother would make it from scratch in one of those Spring-Form Pans. Honestly all I could taste was the lemon. I would only eat the graham cracker crust and leave the rest. Now, I can't buy it because I'm the only one who will eat it. If I buy it I will buy one serving so that I don't totally go off my calories. But it doesn't matter how good I've been or how strong my well power is, if I see cheese cake at one of those PIG OUTS, my husband calls cover dish dinners at church, I will keep going back and eating more and more till I'm sick to my stomach.

    How about an unobsession?

    We can’t find feta or blue cheese here. (Supply chain issues with a lot of dairy.) Hubs found some fat free feta at $5.freaking69 for an itty bitty tub.

    “35 calories!!!” he gloated as he handed it to me.

    Well dang. I think styrofoam packing peanut crumbles would have had more taste.

    I’d rather have 35 worth of real feta than a whole serving of that vast dairy disappointment.

    LOL this sounds like a whole other thread. :)

    Hmmmm not obsessed, I don't think, but more like I can't not go a day without having it?

    I like half a coco lite kinda styrofoamy, rice cakeish delivery system topped with a tablespoon of whipped cream cheese and about 18g of a low sodium turkey slice. I'd go for a full one but those coco lite styrofoamy, rice cakeish things ain't cheap! :)

    That's where I get them! But I have to start thinking about my food casualties when I'm out of a job and that, unfortunately, is going to be one of them.

    I really like them. They melt in your mouth. :)
