The simple things in life

[C~Q]

I just came back form the gym and I needed to have some protein and carbs in a snack so I had a chopped up banana with some yoghurt over the top and it was sooo yummy. Really simple and basic and so delicious!

Also last night all I wanted was a toasted sandwhich but I couldn't be bothered with the usual palava of getting loads of different ingredients like I usually do (tastes great but a pita) so I just had cheese and onion and it was so so yummy!

Sometimes I think it's really nice to go back to something thats really plain and simple - you forget how yummy basic flavours can be.

Does anyone else have any really basic, yummy foods they like to eat?

[LaDeeDa]

I know this is a little bit kinderish but I still reckon you can't go past peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on fresh bread ....lol

[~StarBright~]

I couldnt go past this thread with out adding as you both have mentioned the two foods that basically make up my whole diet!!
I am a plain as jane eater all the time!!! Toasted cheesies (even minus the onion CQ!!! ) and peanut butter and jelly (or jam as i have been told to say it here in Australia) on fresh bread is the best!!!!!!!!!
My other favourite is the Kraft macaronni and cheese.... nothing else- just a bowl of macaronni for lunch!!

My poor Dh who does all our cooking is astounded at my "picky" eating.. lol but not in the sense that i like things extravagant and fancy- i want them plain and simple!!! lol We never go out to eat anywhere coz its a waste of time taking me anywhere but maccas or pizza hut!!! lol And its only since being pregnant and breastfeeding that i actually make sure i eat vegies!! lol

I LOVE basic foods! Toast with butter, mashed potatoes, I love anything that most people would turn their nose up at eating on its own!!

Cornflakes are something I've developed a liking for while pregnant, but I don't like it if their soggy so just put a little bit of milk in and tip the bowl so that they dont mix

[M22]

i want PB and J NOW- but i dont have any sob sob
this is a baaaaaaaaaaddddddd thread. LOL

[Bumperstump Cummerbund]

Lol LSK

Mine and DH's favourite basic food - raw 2 minute noodles. Don't know what it is about it, but we both love them, and have been known to eat them for lunch and/or dinner when we can't be bothered making anything else or driving for takeaway

[Aimz]

We have a "grilled cheese on toast" night once a week and it's probably our favourite meal of the week bcause it's so fuss free and we have heaps of time to go for a long walk and watch a movie!

[C~Q]

What about French bread with just butter. Or a freshly baked Croissant Mmmmmm

[~StarBright~]

lol you got me gain CQ!! Bread and butter!!! But not even the fancy french stuff.... lol you know the little bread rolls that pubs serve with dinner-you can get them at the supermarket and well i have been known to bake a good half dozen of them and eat them with butter and thats me for dinner!!!

[C~Q]

Oooh yeah, fresh from the oven and all warm mmmmmmm

[Arimeh]

ok yup now I'm hungry!!! lol

We used to have rice (leftover from dinner) with milk over it when I was a kid - still warm...ooooh so yummy..

And though I can't have it anymore:-
fresh white bread, raspberry jam and cream

*insert homer drool here*

[Nelle]

Pasta with sweet chilli sauce and grated cheese.

Rice.

Roast zucchini with drizzled olive oil, salt and pepper....mmmm....

Good thread - could also be known as 'the thread I'm coming to when I don't have many ingredients, or can't be bothered cooking'!

[Enchanted]

I have always been a fan of plain pasta with just grated cheese on top.

[Snowy Love]

Rice with grated cheese & salsa (or just cheese if I don't have the salsa) microwaved a bit too much! I lived on that when I was doing my HSC (Oh so long ago)

[suse]

- oooh, pasta with a little olive oil, a little chopped parsley or basil, salt, pepper and freshly grated parmiggiano reggiano.

- perfectly ripe tomatoes, sliced and sprinkled with salt and pepper.

- miso soup with noodles.

- local mangos in season, preferably eaten in the bath. Or with icecream, either is good.

- Marydean, have you tried fresh goats cheese and honey on your good dark brown bread. Try it sometime, it is TDF.

- barbequed fresh sweetcorn or steamed green beans (or asparagus mmmm) with a knob of butter and salt and pepper

- Baked potatoes with sourcream

- cheese on crackers, with a piece of pear or apple

Um, I could be here for a while...

[Netix]

Vegemite sandwiches on buttered fresh bread, with a glass of milk.

Actually just scoffed three and a half of these. The half was because I ran out of fresh bread! I had a lousy and small dinner, so was very hungry before I was about to go to bed, when I stumbled in here for a quick looky. It made me remember what I would eat as a child for a midnight snack if I was hungry!

Now off to bed with a slightly happier tummy!

Toast with jam and cheese - This is a stapel for me. I just LOVE jam and cheese on bread, wheter it's toast, rolls, french bread, pita ... anything.

Salty Crackers with cheese

2 min noodles .. cooked, without the flavouring

Apple cubes on Yogurt

STRAWBERRIES - that to me, is a meal on it's own ... come to think of it ... so is PEACHES!!

Spagetti , cooked and fried in the pan with just a tad of butter
