I

I eat it in unhealthy amounts cooked, raw, grilled, and/or gooey.

I have a problem and what was once a limited affair has turned rapidly into an annual and sometimes bi-annual event and I feast off of The Trader Joe's Frozen Food Aisle in Woodmere. (It's a solid two hours I tell ya) Really it has everything I need. Carbs and proteins in the forms of rice bowls and noodles. Fruits? Spade of it, all covered in chocolate of course but that just leads me into my next point...antioxidants and flavinols! Then there is the good old stock of pizza and cheesecake to keep my pie quota high for months to come. Then for desert...yes on top of (pumpkin!) cheesecake (that's breakfast, you crazy people) They keep the bags of mini stroopwafels---the true afternoon delight---conveniently above the frozen fruits, which I guess can be used to make smoothies or something healthy like that.

Ah...I

Foster's Market in Raleigh...sweet potato hash.

I find whatever sort of bread stuffs I have, look for some sort of liquidy dairy cheese stuff, like cream chesse, sour cream cottage cheese. Spread the cheese on the bread/pita add whatever veggies I have, (usually cherry tomatoes or this time of year some last run zucchini) shove it under the broiler until it's gooey, chewy, smoky and wonderful and dig in.

Rooster Sauce as I call it (sirancha)

It has somehow made it's way into all sorts of glazes and soups and eggs and omigoodness there is no end. Plus it led to the discovery of chinese chili oil bean paste stuff and korean red pepper paste (just like ketchup) so it deserves an even greater reward for it's awesomeness-ess and gateway drug powers.

I love it when I get a pepper within a pepper. It's like you get to eat it's alien invader!

Usually I lean towards cookies chock full of spice, or chocolate, or black sesame...mmm peanuty-esque goodness.

Yet, recently I found this chunky french cookie recipe in the one upon a tart book. It had cranberries in it, but I swapped out cherries, and really really good chocolate for crumby chips. They were so loaded with stuff in the way that a good chocolate chip cookie should always be loaded, but when I was baking them I was worried that they wouldn't cook right...that they would just be a giant melty gooey blob of chocolate nutty fruity goodness.

Now though I realize they just needed more chocolate...and I know this sounds blasphemous, but who is dory greenspan? ^^

I've never actually bought a bowl of chili. Instead I've had it as a biweekly meal where someone in our family makes it since I was about five...It actually doesn't have much meat in it, but it's loaded to the gills with chunks of veggies and spices. When I make it I use a hot italian sausage as the meat. All that fennel goes great with the port and the cumin (two other big ingrediants) Mmm...

*goes to make chili*

I think more appropriate would be veganized chocolate.

See, it sounds dirty...
