I love to eat. Most people do. In recent years, and as my diet has changed to adjust to a more healthy lifestyle, I've found several foods that qualify as "healthy" that I actually prefer to the more rich foods I used to enjoy more regularly. Here's some of my healthier favorites.
1. Tillamook White Cheddar cheese - The best cultured milk cheese I've bought at a store. Sharp, creamy, flavorful. It doesn't get much better than this.
2. Blue Diamond Hazelnut Thins - Gluten-free cracker with an awesome flavor. Great with the Tillamook cheese.
3. Medjool Dates - My aunt introduced me to these on a visit to the Virgin Islands a couple years back. I've been hooked ever since.
4. Sweet Potatoes - bake them, fry them, mash them, do anything to them and they're fantastic. Especially love them in the form of Fries or candied Thanksgiving-style.
5. Red Pepper Hummus - My wife makes hummus from scratch, I often add the red pepper component myself afterwards. Great with the Hazelnut thins or the veggies of your choice.
6. Garlic - I cook virtually nothing without it. I'm nearly convinced that Garlic is good with everything. Ok, except dessert.
7. Pineapple/Watermelon - I put these together because I rarely eat one without the other. I don't even know why. But they just seem inseparable to me.
8. Coconut Oil - this stuff has so many uses, it's amazing. Especially great for baking, frying, desserts, even dry skin.
9. Cinnamon Pecans - I buy these at the local Kroger. Oh my...
10. Sourdough bread - my wife buys wheat berries through Azure Standard, mills them into flour, and uses this to maintain our own sourdough starter and bake our own bread. Thick, hearty, and very satisfying.
