If I had to pick 10 foods to eat the rest of my life, this is what they would be!  I think we always have these items on hand and if we don’t I’m sure to always restock them in our kitchen!  On any given day, I probably eat at least 5 of these foods if not more!  BTW, at the last second, I remembered wine!  I deleted Crushed Red Peppers from the #9 spot and replaced it with wine (hello, just look at this blogs header!)

Dinner tonight was Chicken Apple Gorgonzola Salad (minus the walnuts, we are out).  I wasn’t too hungry since I had a third PM snack.  Yes ladies and gentlemen, I had 3 snacks this afternoon.  If you are a reader of my blog, you should know that just doesn’t happen.  I am very calculated with my meals and snacks and plan them so I know I will stay full and have energy until my next meal.  I am all about keeping my blood sugar stable all day!  So about 2 hours before dinner, I broiled an Ezekiel Pita topped with 1tbsp olive oil, a sprinkle of organic natural feta, fresh ground black pepper and crushed red peppers.  I had a huge side of jalapeño hummus with it!  Yum, yum, yum!  I may have spoiled my appetite for dinner, but I just couldn’t wait.    I didn’t wait to take a picture and ate snack #3 in record time.

Used coconut oil and water to cook the chicken.

Okay, so I am really excited about a new part of BHL that will be featured later in the week.  I am now going to be doing an Athlete in Real Life interview every now and again to explore different sports and exercise practices more in depth.  I want to find out what different athletes eat, what motivates them and find out why they love what they do.  The first interview will be on yoga.  Yay!  I hope to inspire myself along with you guys and also learn some fun new facts and ideas along the way!  So check back tomorrow or Friday for the first Athlete in Real Life Interview!

Question:  What are the foods you couldn’t live without?  Top Ten?
