Am I the only one on the planet who dislikes ___, or loves ___?
Haha, at the people who hate apple juice but like cider. I'm the opposite. I love apple juice but I can't drink apple cider without gagging.
Love: garlic, peanut butter, fuji and honey crisp apples, oatmeal, tomato sauce, sundried tomatoes, water chestnuts, canned pears, goat and feta cheese, tofu, alfalfa sprouts, roasted vegetebles, especially onions and peppers, dried coconut
Hate: raw tomatoes and carrots, baked potatoes, red delicious and granny smith apples, white rice, anything with splenda or artificial sweeteners, can taste it right away, cooked spinach, white bread, red grapes, cheddar cheese, whipped cream, unsweetened coffee and green tea, SHRIMP. The texture just gets to me every time. Gummy candy is gross, too. Blech

Lol, no wonder everyone's fat. Just the thought of mayo is enough to clog my arteries.
Do You Always Eat Breakfast for Breakfast?
Wow, didn't know so many people ate non-breakfast foods for breakfast. I always have to have some type of cereal for breakfast, usually granola. Or fruit and yogurt.

Top Chef Calendar Giveaway: What's Your Favorite Sugar-free Dessert?
Hmm, what about desserts using honey, agave nectar or maple syrup? They're sweeteners, but not technically sugar. ;)
Ramen-Based Pizza Crust
Ugh, sorry but that looks disgusting.
How Old Is Too Old To Trick-or-Treat?
I'm 16 and I went trick-or-treating with my younger brother. Didn't get any weird looks but a lot of compliments on my costume. I plan to go next year too, since it's my last year of officially being a kid.
Apples: Take 'Em or Leave 'Em?
The only apples I really like are honeycrisp. I don't like the grainy, mealy texture and tartness of most apples.

What do you put in your oatmeal?
oh my gosh that oatmeal fest sounds AMAZING! i love oatmeal so much, and i love experimenting with it. its so versatile! my favorite thing to do is to mix in fresh pureed pumpkin or sweet potato with maple and brown sugar and raisins, and spice wise i add ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg ...

ps - thanks for the tips about pancakes on my post, i have managed to make fat free pancakes as well, but i would love to see your recipe for it! mine usually only turn out just okay
What do you put in your oatmeal?
Sweet: My favorite is banana cooked in with the oatmeal, then add a spoonful each of jam and peanut butter. It's PBJ oatmeal.
Savory: Top oatmeal with salsa, hot sauce, egg over-medium and season salt. Sometimes avocado too.
What do you put in your oatmeal?
I have just discovered the greatest combination for oatmeal. I add yogurt to my oatmeal. It tastes wonderful, especially with yoplait mixed berry or strawberry yougurt. Hope you try it an love it!!!!
What do you put in your oatmeal?
There's so many things I love in oatmeal: almond milk, apple sauce, chocolate covered cocoa nibs, bananas, nuts, granola... :)
What do you put in your oatmeal?
I like cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove on my oatmeal. Mix in some molasses, some dried or candied ginger, and some pumpkin puree and you've got pumpkin pie oatmeal.
Oh, and it's good for using up pumpkin pie spice mix for something other than pie. That mix always used to make me sad that I bought it, since I don't bake pumpkin pies every day. (now the better question should be, why DON'T I bake a pumpkin pie every day.)
What do you put in your oatmeal?
Dried fruit, nuts and seeds. Tried apricots are awesome in it, especially if you also use nutmeg and cinnamon. Old bananas are good.
Sometimes maple syrup, sometimes brown sugar. I baked some oatmeal last week using a recipe found in SE comments awhile ago and with nutmeg, brown sugar, maple syrup, almonds and apricots it was fantastic. It reminded me of an oatmeal cookie, only better. I often pour vanilla yogurt on top of my oatmeal and it's been great on the baked oatmeal.
Oatmeal is good for cleaning out the dried fruit, nuts and seeds from the pantry.
What do you put in your oatmeal?
cinammon, brown sugar, sliced almonds and golden raisins.
What do you put in your oatmeal?
@cycorider--my bad; tweaky, tired-eyes to blame. Never read nummy food posts after grading 73 bad freshmen papers...
What do you put in your oatmeal?
Maple syrup always...sometimes a bit of milk or cream. If I feel daring some cinnamon or fruit jam. Same add-ins go for cream of wheat :)
What do you put in your oatmeal?
just this morning I put in grapenuts (in the last minute or so of cooking the oatmeal) and then fresh apple, walnuts, bit of brown sugar and splash of milk - perfection!
What do you put in your oatmeal?
I had oatmeal for dinner tonight. Steel cut oats w/cinnamon, dried cherries, toasted walnuts, a pat of butter and a little bit of maple syrup.
I love oatmeal, and will one day be brave enough to try Mark Bittman's Savory Oatmeal. @bananamonkey - I'm assuming since you're on a kick eating it that it's good?
Am I the only one on the planet who dislikes ___, or loves ___?
Yummy to me: plain yogurt, tofu, any and all veggies, loads o' garlic, extremely dark chocolate (99% Lindt Chocolate), black coffee, beany soymilk (not Silk, but fresh Asian kind), bland foods like plain oatmeal, cream of wheat, popcorn, durian (very stinky fruit), seaweed, fermented sweet rice
I am very unpicky about food, and will eat nearly everything. However I strongly dislike and won't eat: bacon (grossgrossgross, smell makes me gag), any meat, drinking milk straight

My guilty pleasure for 50 years: Mayonnaise sandwich. Just Hellman's slathered on a good bread or roll - if the bread is crunchy (toasted enflish muffin works for this, there's a nice contrast to the lovely unctuous mouth feel of the mayo. In the summer, I'll give in and add a slice or two of garden fresh tomato.
Do You Always Eat Breakfast for Breakfast?
I love eating non-breakfast foods for breakfast. As for savories, I love soup, salads and sandwiches--for sweets, I love birthday cake, and desserts typically served after dinner: cheesecake, truffles, pudding, etc.
Do You Always Eat Breakfast for Breakfast?
I love breakfast, from pancakes and maple syrup to eggs benedict. But for me, nothing beats a bowl of cereal, or oatmeal in the winter. It hits the spot everytime, and I could quite happily eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Do You Always Eat Breakfast for Breakfast?
I have to have something sweet in the mornings - so if it's a bagel it has to be cinnamon raisin with sweet honey raisin cream cheese - I love whitefish salad on pumpernickel bagels but it would seem heresy to have one first thing! I can easily eat something like carrot cake or a scone with jam and quark - or leftover plum or apricot crumble if I've had people round for dinner. And of course there's there traditional post Thanksgiving pumpkin-pie-for-breakfast the day after... and since I am British, mince pies for breakfast throughout December - only the posh ones from fancy bakeries though. In fact I had one this morning with some fromage frais on the side.
Do You Always Eat Breakfast for Breakfast?
I retired just about a year ago, after 34 years of teaching. While I was working, my breakfast varied between a chew-bar [Kashi's Roasted Almond Crunch] and a bagel w/ cream cheese (despite being in a rural district in upstate NY, our school cafeteria had fresh bagels available each morning). The choice of the morning would be downed w/ a few swigs of bottled water.
Now that I've retired, I must admit that my favorite breakfasts are leftovers - either Chinese leftovers, or homemade leftovers - right now, the latter is baked macaroni. The Chinese I reheat, but macaroni, etc. I usually go at straight out of the fridge. [I feel I must note that my wife is still working, and so I can pretty much raid the fridge for whatever "breakfast" I find.]
However, if I have to go out early in the morn for a dr appt, or to do shopping (yes, I'm generally the grocery shopper @ the house), I usually wind up w/ a bagel and coffee @ the local DD.
Do You Always Eat Breakfast for Breakfast?
Yes! Well, that is unless I happen to wake up after noon, but even then most of the time I still eat my regular breakfast, it's a ritual with me. It's my favorite meal of the day.
Do You Always Eat Breakfast for Breakfast?
I am over breakfast foods right now, since I am allergic to eggs and intolerant to wheat. I love to make potatoes, sweet potatoes or squash and a big salad. Pretty much anything goes at breakfast these days!
Do You Always Eat Breakfast for Breakfast?
I don't eat breakfast as often as I should, but I have been known to makea grill cheese, or a salad as well. I'm even known to sometimes crank up the charcoal grill before 10:00AM.
Do You Always Eat Breakfast for Breakfast?
Absolutely not! Breakfast for dinner is not only quick and easy but it's fun. I do that sometimes when BF is away on business, I have no leftovers to kill and don't feel like cooking.
And what's better at 3:00 a.m. after a night of clubbing than a greasy fried egg breakfast with home fries and toast?
Do You Always Eat Breakfast for Breakfast?
My favorite brekkie is a big bowl of steel-cut oatmeal, subdivided to provide a 2/3 portion "entree" and a 1/3 "dessert. The entree I spike with a bit of salt and either dark sesame oil OR evoo and 1/2 tsp od crushed garlic. The dessert portion gets a daub of butter and a bit of brown sugar for after.

@JGordon:
Try this...have some always soft spreadable BUTTER around by keeping some in a little covered croc outside of the fridge. It won't kill you because it's at room temp, I promise.
I was really surprised by margarine at number three. I really thought that we had started to make some headway in the learning process as far as nutrition was concerned.
The oils in margarine are so processed and then combined with emulsifiers, food coloring, etc. And while I am sure that lower end butter has it's own over-processing cross to bear, at least there are excellent quality alternatives where the ingredients (CREAM, SALT) come from reputable sources. I'm not so sure that they make a margarine with the same guidelines. Maybe Healthy Balance.
Just use butter! In moderation! It's better for you.
Do You Always Eat Breakfast for Breakfast?
Most days I have miso soup for breakfast.
