Five Foods I’d Hate To Live Without

I was having a conversation with a friend and we were discussing what our favorite foods are.  Then we talked about which foods we couldn’t live without. We had some differences but this is what I came up with.

1. Chocolate: I don’t think I’d want to live without chocolate of course; it’s my ultimate favorite food.  It makes me happy and is just so darn delicious.  It would have to be dark chocolate too; none of that icky milk chocolate nonsense.

2. Chips and Salsa: I know that really sounds like two foods but I always think of it as one item.  I can’t ever seem to get enough.  When ever I go to a Mexican restaurant they have to bring a few extra bowls of the chips and salsa because we always devour them.

3. Avocado: Another favorite of mine that is just oh so divine.  I love them plain, in guacamole, on food, in food. You name I love  the creamy goodness that is the Hass avocado.

4. Coffee: Not for the caffeine, but for the flavor.  I just love a great cup of coffee. Decaff is absolutely fine as long as the flavor is bold, rich, and smooth I’ll be a happy camper.

5. Bread: Who doesn’t love bread?  There is soo much you can do with bread.  Make sandwiches, toast, puddings, stuffing, and soo much more.  I’ve only ever come across one bread I don’t like and that’s Rye.  For some reason the anise in is grosses me out.

Do You Need Coffee to Wake Up in the Morning?

Regular or decaf? That is the question. Are you one of those people that absolutely must have a cup of coffee in the morning in order to wake up? I used to be. I’m not anymore. I make sure to get a good 8 solid hours of sleep every night. Then when I get up in the morning instead of relying on coffee to wake me up I like to take a shower.

Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy a cup of joe in the morning, it just doesn’t have to be caffeinated. As long as it tastes good I’m absolutely fine with decaf. I invest in quality coffee and haven’t had a problem with poor flavor in my decaf coffee at all.

I know I don’t need coffee to wake up in the morning. If you are one of those people that do need coffee in the morning, what would your day be like without your coffee? I’d love to hear from you.

Heading Out for Errands

This morning I just seem to be dragging. I hope I’m not getting sick. Usually I am awake and up making coffee by 7:00 am and ready to go out the door by 8:30am. For some reason I just can’t get myself in gear. Here it is almost 11:00 am and I’m still home looking for my car keys. Well, I guess the rest of the day will just fly by since its already half over!
