    Here is my initial thought about what food I could not live without: cheese. If you asked my husband he would say: Salt & vinegar chips. To me, when I really want to feel some food joy, I love a fresh loaf and bread and some aged cheddar. I think the chips stick in my hubby's mind because we do our best to eat healthy but when I crave the chips, move out of the way.

    You totally deserve all those awards my dear!

    I could not live without baked fries (preferably sweet, but a regular will do just fine) – and anything MINT chocolate flavored!

    Loving your blog! Four weeks ago I would have said I can’t live without french fries. My #1 guilty pleasure. But ultimately, I need crawfish. After moving way north of New Orleans, I don’t have them near enough.

    Our current food we can’t live with out is: Chicken Spinach, pumpkin and coconut oil. All pureed to a fine blend. This may seem odd, but this seems to be William’s current favorite. Coconut oil is because it MCT fat that’s easy to digest and absorb so he gains some good weight, and the pumpkin makes the chicken and spinach combination palatable for him right now. ;)

    lilveggiepatch permalink

    I would love to say something virtuous, like broccoli (which I love, yes, but probably could live without), but I absolutely canNOT live without chocolate or bread. Can’t do it. Especially when they’re beautifully combined in, say, a pain au chocolat or a chocolate chip brioche? Pure heaven.

    Congrats on the awards!

    o0o congrats on the awards! i could NOT live without bars. all bars. love them :)

    the go raw bars are definitely good, but they’re an acquired taste. my parents think they taste “too healthy.” the banana and the flax bar are my favorites. the pumpkin is good too, but it’s a little more savory. hope you try some!

    Thanks for posting on my blog, the vegan pb oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are pretty addicting! The one food I absolutely could not live without would be peanut butter, specifically all natural crunch peanut butter! It goes well with almost anything and is great in baked goods as well. Congrats on the awards:)
