Usually I get on a bread or sweets kick. Like cinnamon rolls.

every single day for over the past week!

And I still love it. I suspect the day is coming when I won't be able to look at either though...... and that will be a shame. It is soooo healthy!

I was on a stuffed cabbage kick for a while, and now I am on a fava bean kick, now that I know you can buy peeled dried fava beans. The ones you have to peel take a very long time (worse than shrimp), although I think they may have a better flavor. A couple of weeks ago I made a fava bean soup that just had fava beans, potatoes, onion, and chicken stock. It was pretty bland, but it let me taste the fava beans. I just bought some Lima beans also because they remind me of fava beans!

Can't say I do that any other time of year.

Unless you count Buffalo Wings kick on Superbowl Sunday LOL.

Oh Pasta Puttanesca is another! We had it both last week and this week again. When we like something, we tend to flog it for a while.

During the holidays I indulge in my love of cranberry ginger ale as that is the only time it is available.

I'm just getting back into cooking after the big whole house paint job. Still have to shuffle all my stuff back into place.

Currently, I am bingeing on sweet potatoes, of all things. Baked, fried, roasted, mashed, candied. My husband thinks we're going to develop an orange tinge. Last night I served grilled salmon, baked sweet potatoes, and carrot discs. You should have seen the look on his face! It was delicious, too, but I have to admit that may have been a bit much. We'll have something green today.

I mean, it's like if you're going to cook rice for something, then you cook a big batch so you have enough for Fried Rice tomorrow night, right?

It's not like anyone at this house would complain if they ate potatoes four days in a row. sigh

Living alone as I do almost everything is a 'kick' as I have to keep eating whatever it is till its gone if its something that doesn't freeze well. If I do freeze it I may not want to look at it again for months and months.

I wish also I could get on a celery kick.

Maxmom, you can buy much better ramen noodles at Japanese markets, as well as fresh udon noodles. I have found decent ones at Korean and Indonesian markets, but the Japanese are the best with Korean being a close second. I still have to check the sodium content, however. I had Japanese noodles yesterday for lunch, and I added dried vegetables and wakame to it. I also heated it in a pan and added an egg drop to it. Sometimes I add ginger paste, sesame oil (or toasted sesame seeds), and lime juice. It's still very quick and easy, and I keep the soups as an emergency lunch.

Sour Cream Pancakes

2 tbsp butter
2 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup sour cream (regular or light)
1 tsp vanilla

Microwave 2 tbsp butter until melted.

In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center.

In a medium bowl whisk eggs with milk, sour cream, melted butter and vanilla. Pour into flour and stir just until mixed.

Immediately melt 1 tsp butter in large frying pan or griddle. Use 1/4 cup measure for each pancake.

Look out when the local corn is ready not to forget tomatoes and those blt's too.

What are we having for breakfast tomorrow? The same. It will be new for Mister tho.

I was remembering years ago when we lived in a northern college town and rented a room to an impoverished student.
He managed to live for months on those little cheap packets of ramen. Needless to say, he frequently shared our dinners.
