Same here, not a big beef fan let alone steak. My husband likes it so he will cook it and I’ll have a tiny bit so he doesn’t get upset, haha.

Gave this up long ago In fact we very rarely eat out at a restaurant because we like to cook our own meals knowing exactly what is in them.

That woman used to be me! Especially this time of year, I was making 4 different kinds of fudge, caramels, peanut brittle, divinity. Plus 10 different kinds of cookies, caramel rolls and some pies.

Now I make half a batch of cookies about 10 times a year and that's pretty much it for the sugar. I think I'll make some walnut fudge this year, but that's unusual. It's been several years since I made any candy.

Getting back to the topic of this thread, I love my cookies, but if someone gave me a good reason not to eat another grain of sugar, I wouldn't cry over it.

So I "could" give up any single food for the remainder of my life. The older I've gotten, the less I feel like I must have the most delicious food on a daily basis.

Chicken. Sure, it’s versatile and relatively good for you, but to me it doesn’t have much flavor. I wouldn’t miss it.

Also rice. It tastes like nothing.

Then it's been overcooked, or is the "fake salmon" they use as salmon ( I forget which fish they pass off as salmon)..

It should be firm and flake apart, not be ",mushy" to use your word.

We love salmon, but don't like the price...even if the fake salmon....

I also love sword, mahi mahi, tuna, and catfish occasionally.

This is hilarious. But I shared it with some friends and they had seen it before. Attribution is important and necessary, even if you don't know the source. Acknowledge that it isn't yours and attribute it to "unknown" or "anonymous". Don't take credit where it isn't due. I take back my rep!

Kale and salads. All 'healthy' food that doesn't taste good.

I no longer bake.

Also do not drink regular sugared soft drinks either.

Potato salad with mayo and bacon is healthy?
