Currently on an orange bender. Blood, Navel, Valencia, gimme them all! I eat them 4 at a time... for breakfast, lunch, and if I'm really feeling like I need to overdose on vitamin C, Dinner too!! It may be cold season but I doubt that I'll be getting sick anytime soon.

Also Ali- just want you to know all I am now on my 2nd fried egg & arugula sandwich since reading this... what is the food equivalent of an ear worm?

A few months ago, I went to visit my sister who was studying abroad in Italy. The olive oil was so incredible that I shipped a bunch back to the states. After it arrived, I ate baguette with olive oil, salt, pepper, and good Parmesan every day after work. I would think about it ALL day. It was just so delicious. Fast forward one month and I've downed an entire bottle of oil by myself. Realizing that this habit can't continue at such a pace, that snack only comes out for special occasions now, or when I come across a particularly fantastic-looking baguette.
Also, I'm pretty sure I will never stop making the Northern Spy Kale salad as long as I live. I make it every two weeks or so without fail.

I'm currently addicted to Marian Bull's avocado toast (https://food52.com/recipes/26766-avocado-toast). I use two slices of sourdough bread, slather each with Mezzetta's Savory Garlic spread, toast them, top each slice with 1/4 a large avocado, then finish with big grains of pink Himalayan salt and some generous grinds of black-white-pink-green pepper. They leave me totally satisfied without feeling stuffed. I've tried various breads, but always come back to the sourdough. I can't imagine ever getting tired of them. I have eaten these for breakfast, for lunch, and for dinner, but never more than one meal per day . . . so far.

I've exhausted a few recipes (you'll see a recurring trend here)... When I first learned to make delicious chicken enchiladas (with slow cooked salsa chicken) my boyfriend & I had just started dating and he looooved them... So, naturally, I made them several times a week to keep impressing him.. We eventually both grew tired. I still make them occasionally and especially for friends and family since everyone raves about them. Same goes for restaurant style white queso dip... I tried a zillion recipes before finding the perfect one, so after all that work I continually made it over&over&over... Unfortunately, everyone else doesn't love cheese as much as I so I would eventually make a whole batch & eat it myself! I now reserve it for special occasions. After getting my quesadilla maker, my boyfriend & I set up a quesadilla station & tried every combo we could think of until we were sick of tortillas. I just learned to make chili's-style salsa so I'm thinking that'll get worn out soon, too ;)

I live in the Dallas area. The acidic soils of East Texas produce some heavenly tomatoes. In the summer when the tomatoes are divine perfection, I buy them by the barrel - specifically from J.T. Lemley at the Dallas Farmers' Market - and use them in a salad practically every day for lunch, always using the tomatoes, olive oil, salt, pepper, and good balsamic, and a few of these ingredients, or sometimes all: summer cucumbers, summer onions, kalamata olives, feta, fresh mozzarella, avocado, and last night's roasted corn on the cob leftovers, sliced off the cob. I really want to be left alone while I eat it, so I can enjoy it fully without distractions such as people and thoughts. The bonus is if I have a piece of baguette to sop of the last bits of dressing. My little girl loves this too and requests that I make her "Mommy's Special Summer Salad."

I just got new Dutch oven so I've braising every single thing I can get my hands on. I could eat room temp roast chicken with spicy mustard everyday, and currently those mini Persian cucumbers I cannot get enough of them

Anchovy butter - got it from Renee Erickson's book and I can't stop putting it on everything, sandwiches, stirred into scrambled eggs, chops and steaks (of course) but also roasted veggies...mmmmmm.

Avocado toast and sriracha on everything. In college I ate frozen vegan dumplings with greens tossed in for a month straight while they were on sale.

Lemons. Lemon zest, lemon juice, Meyer lemon, regular lemon, preserved lemon. All over the place. Salads, pasta, in my drinks, on chicken & fish. I just can't get enough!

Caprese salad with LOTS of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Oh, and beets roasted together with onions and - you guessed it! - lots of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Trader Joe's employees greet me by the name now...

As a kid, I was not down with the breakfast foods. For most of elementary school, the only thing I wanted in the morning was Campbell's Chicken with Rice soup. Or, if I was getting cray cray, Campell's Chicken with Stars soup.

Toasted sesame bagels with cream cheese, sliced cucumber, and Tony Chachere's creole seasoning. A co-worker many years ago made up the combo, and I've been hooked ever since. I actually crave it for breakfast most mornings.

Pickles. Pickles. Pickles. Everyday. I make them myself, but I still go through a jar a day, for years. I'm never sick though!

For the last six months I've been having quinoa with roasted veg (sometimes ok a lot of the time it's butternut squash), feta, chopped nuts (I've been on a pistachio kick the last few weeks) and lemon and olive oil dressing. This has been lunch every day.

Miso soup for breakfast and a snack for months now. As a side, I pile up plenty of pickles, sliced mushroom and a few cockels. Every. Day.

Every morning, I eat a hard-boiled 6 minute egg, 2 ounces of smoked salmon, 8 black cured olives, and a fruit (it's oranges all winter). Every. Damn. Morning. I am messed up without it!

Glad to see I'm not the only one with food obsessions. I can eat nut butters ALL the time, but for the last year or so, I make up a batch of carmelized onions and red pepper at least once a week. It goes nicely with meats, pastas, potatoes, etc. Toss in some French feta, and oh my!

Kimshi. I'm not even that fond of it, but for the past two weeks it's been an obsession. I keep making it because I love the fermentation process.
My pressure cooker, too! I use it everyday!

For two years, I prepared salmon for dinner every night. Sometimes for lunch too. Then I woke up to the reality of overfishing (this revelation came to me about fifteen years ago). Perhaps not surprisingly, I can barely tolerate the taste or texture of salmon today.

Homemade bread with butter and honey from our neighbor's hive. Can't. Stop. Eating.

I was obsessed with Mac n cheese from a young age. The Kraft Box helped me make it through college and my 20's. I even made a movie in college with a friend about orange food. It featured Jimi Hendrix and Mac n Cheese. It was the 70's. Now I make the gourmet variety with Gruyere etc. I still keep a box in the pantry for kids. Something they will always eat. It's the last of the all-time-great-can-not-give-it-up processed foods. Sigh.

Love the tabasco story haha! I had a major obsession with salad with roasted veg (sweet potato, asparagus, aubergine, courgette) for SO LONG (and major bonus, it's easy to throw together for lunch!)

I was on a kick of having sauteed kale with a poached egg on top and a handful of crumbled potato chips sprinkled over. Every day for lunch. For weeks. Nothing since has grabbed me like that did.

I am so intrigued by the Fruity Pebbles bagel! I used to make a parsley salad every day for dinner for a month -- just one bunch of parsley with its leaves picked (stems discarded) with the juice of half a lemon, a healthy gulf of delicious olive oil, and salt. So grassy and green!

I've made this granola 4 times in the last two weeks, sans nuts and with coconut oil.

For 20 years, I talked myself out of buying a pasta machine. I had ideas that it was too expensive, that I would mangle the machine with unpalatable dough, mess up the kitchen beyond my energy to clean it, or neglect the machine all together. A couple of weeks ago, I finally allowed myself to get one, and it's taking over my life. I have no objection to this; only regret that I didn't get one sooner.

I'm obsessed with April Bloomfield's Lemon Caper Dressing here https://food52.com/recipes/16940-april-bloomfield-s-lemon-caper-dressing. I've never eaten it on salad as she recommends, but I've eaten it on everything else. I eat it on salmon at least once a week and mix it with oil-packed tuna or avocado and eat that on toast. It's also great on crispy breaded chicken cutlets or roasted chicken. Or with a spoon straight out of the bowl. I eat it so much that my stomach hurts from all the lemon. But I can't stop!

Two runny eggs drowning in sriracha almost every weekday for breakfast for the past year. If I'm not having that it's avocado toast and on weekends it's a combination of the two. But I'm going to steal that eggs and arugula thing, first thing tomorrow.

Every day through all of elementary school, my brother took a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for his lunch. I would take anything except PB&J. And I was the one who was labeled the fussy eater.

My son, James, has been eating Nutella sandwiches for lunch almost every day since Kindergarten. He's 16. That's gotta win some world record, right?

Last winter saw a sauteed brussels sprout and kimchi bender (fried egg on top, please). And when I was young, I remember an odd phase of eating cream cheese and grape jelly sandwiches. And I'm pretty sure I kept eating them as I was trying to figure out if it actually tasted good or not. The jury is still out.

Every time someone mentions cream cheese & grape jelly toast sandwiches-I want one! Are you sharing some of these recipes? Lemon caper dressing, orange blossom granola...pretty please?
