Do you ever go through a phase where you really like to eat certain things?
For example. When I was in high school, I went through a phase where I would come home from school and have an apple with peanut butter. I would use the apple slicer, and stick the pieces in a bowl with a generous spoonful of peanut butter and munch away.
Another example. When Paul was gone I started making myself smoothies everyday, usually when I got home from working out. I learned to love the magic bullet. Frozen fruit and yogurt and milk
and juice. yum yum yum. One of my favorites is a frozen
mixed berry, vanilla yogurt, and milk smoothie. Also up there: frozen mango, papaya, and strawberry with
blackberry yogurt and orange juice. Again, yum. When I didn't make a smoothie I noticed, and missed it. Still, it was just a phase, and now I don't really care if I get a smoothie or not.
Current food phases:
I eat Marshmallow Mateys every morning for breakfast. They are an off-brand version of Lucky Charms. This habit also started when Paul left, but so far I've been able to convince him to buy them every week, probably because of their all-sugar deliciousness.
We bought an ice cream maker a few weeks ago. Best/worst decision ever. Homemade ice cream is so good!! But, homemade ice cream is so good ... It's hard to let it sit in the freezer. We've made mango frozen yogurt, vanilla ice cream, mint chocolate chip, and peanut butter and we're going to experiment next with sherbet. Yum Yum.
Yoplait's thick and creamy key lime pie yogurt (the blue top version). It seriously tastes like pie.
What are some of your current food phases?

Betty Crocker traditional fudge brownies. Bake in a 9 x 9 pan, cut into 12 servings and only eat one! Yes, it can be done. I enjoy one almost every night.
My afterschool snack as a kid was a stack of saltines, glued together with honey, eaten by removing one saltine at at time, licking off all the honey, and then having a drink of milk with the cracker.
I'm a fan of smoothies, especially made with frozen strawberries, pineapple, and vanilla soymilk.
When it's cold, I like a mug of hot milk, with 1/2 tsp sugar and a dash of pumpkin pie spice.
I love to eat homemade popcorn with apple slices.
I'm a fan of food in general.
I remember the apples and peanut butter. I would go home and eat chips and salsa and drink chocolate milk (or hot chocolate if it was the winter). I still do that quite frequently.
When I was in Jr. High I took a peanut butter and honey sandwich for lunch every day for an entire year.
I went through the magic bullet smoothie phase, too. Mine was fresh blueberries, chocolate Yoplait yogurt and milk.
