Not gonna lie, I eat weird combos. I crave weird combos. I am NOT a creature of habit. To make the same thing everyday would kill me. I don’t think I ever really repeat recipes unless its for someone else. I wonder what all this means? Well I won’t worry about it cause my hubs is the same way, unless it has to do with marmite. Then he’s a creature of habit. Maramite and butter, Vegemite and butter, etc.! If there were a Marmite flavored butter, I could really kill two birds with one stone here. haha!
Anyway, my post today is full of combos. Normal combos for me, but probably weird combos to you. And I’m okay with that. I won’t tell you what's in it. You’ll just have to guess. K?
Any guesses on the combos? What's your weirdest combo?
I bet I'd like it.
I once ordered a bacon latte from
this place. Darn tasty!
Thanks
Jen for another great
WIAW and good luck on the packing!
Cheers!

'Weird' combos are totally okay! Not okay? Combos, you know, those creepy stuffed pretzel/cracker things.
For breakfast today, I ate what I'm calling an "Orange Creamsicle Pancake" with peanut butter & berry syrup.
oh I am all over that orange creamsicle pancake with PB! Come make me breakfast in the morning. would ya?
;)

honey? :) that's my guess, honey.
oh, and also!! I was SO very happy today! all the photos I took when you guys were in town, I FINALLY rescued them from a weird memory card thing. well, Jason did. anyway, I just got to see them all today - there's one of Basil and James, SO cute! :)
Pinot noir isn't a weird combo, no matter what you combo it with. :)
Did you grill snow peas?!? I have some snow peas and I have a grill....
Weird combo is my middle name. I put ranch and ketchup on my salad today. Which also had cukes, mushrooms, sauerkraut, and grilled green beans and eggplant. Oh, and horseradish. And boy was it GOOD.
Ok I don't see anything weird here, it all looks good! Although I want to know what that toast/pizza/type thing is. Looks delicious!
i once had a PB sandwich with a pinot noir. Not bad. haha. And I grilled snow peas and peppers with snapper and mashed fries. haha. AWESOME!

Weird is good right? It's really just unique ;-) I can't think of any really weird combos off hand. When I was a kid I loved cheetos with the outer layer of those little debbie snack rolls. Anything I used to think was weird, I sure don't any longer.
Everything looks great! I still have yet to try vegemite.... :)
Looks like some great food :)
Growing up I always ate pickles and then a fudgesicle in the summer or vice versa. Never together. My neighbors always asked if I was pregnant- even when I was 12 and eating it. Gotta love 'em.
Ironically my parents once sent me chocolate-covered pickles from the Heinz plant or museum. They are N-A-S-T-Y! But when Mom and Dad send you a souvenir from home, you at least try it. :-)
Other weird combo? The ONLY way I could eat scrambled eggs as a kid was to drown them in clear Karo syrup (now I just don't eat 'em). Is peanutbutter on taco shells weird?
I dunno... I think I've simplified my tastebuds... maturity, whatever? Just easier on the digestive track! :-) Smarter, too! :-)
Follow up, growing up in MS we used to put French dressing on the greasiest pizza we could find (Pizza Inn). In Pittsburgh, some call it weird, some call it normal, most just call it Primanti's :-) (as in sandwiches with fries and coleslaw in them).
Oooh, can't wait to hear what these combos are! look good for sure :D
Such color food and photos!
Oh, I'm all about weird combos....cottage cheese and pickles, anyone?! :)
Oops... *colorful! :)
I like some weird combos too, but I am SUCH a creature of habit! If I like something, I'll just repeat the meal time and time again!
Those hard boiled eggs look like they were perfectly done!! :) of course if you're the one who made them I guess that's no surprise ;-) We just got down here to FL where we had you send the healthy bites...they had one left -- oh my goodness. SO tasty!
I totally love weird food combos. That is actually one of the things i have worried a bit about with living in the dorms this Fall. I'm scared i will scare people off!
my weirdest combo? you might vomit. cold oats, greek yogurt, vanilla, & a can of tuna. it was like fishy, sweet, rice pudding. and it was breakfast one day. :)
i was in heaven.
hey, I am all about trying it once! I made tuna protein bread before. It was good! sweet and tangy. I think I posted it too! Pair it with PB!
Lindsay

Bacon latte, and it was good?! I am intrigued haha
I don't try too many weird combos.. I need to be more adventurous! Although I have Marshmallow fluff with cereal sometimes... is that weird?
i think I've done all those combos. and I must try the syrup on eggs. Sounds sweet and savory! good childhood memories.
:)
Lindsay

next on my list.....that bread! Need to pick some up. Did you find natural grocers?
Lindsay

oh I should send you some allie. Or maybe you can come visit!!!?
Lindsay

LOL! I think all kids made weird combos like that. I liked ding dongs with dorritos on top. ICK!
Lindsay
________________________________
you'd like them! especially my mashed fries with bell pepper hummus!
Lindsay
________________________________
and sometimes I wish I was too! whats your favorite weird combo?
Lindsay
________________________________
i even like that combo and not gonna lie, i'd put ketchip on top! haha.
Lindsay
________________________________
oh the fluff! i haven't had it in years! I bet it would be good on tortilla with banana and nutella!
Lindsay
________________________________
oh don't let that stop you! Youre a culinary genius girl. They will be jealous. hehe.
Lindsay
________________________________
oh that reminds me, i need to send you some more! So glad you are home!!!
Lindsay
________________________________
all your food looks so bright, I love it! and teach me how you hard boil your eggs because the look fabulous :D
Curious, what does Vegemite taste like?
I'm always jealous of your eats! Always! My hubby and I have tried that MacMurray Pinot and really loved it. Hope you did, too!
weird combo.....today i had cut up apple mixed with almond butter and topped with salmon.
wasn't bad
oh yes we love it! we actually visited he vineyard when we were in CA. Miss it! :)
Lindsay

good fat/carb combo audrey. You know I approve!
:)
Lindsay
________________________________
ahhhhhhh!!! you totally had my mouth watering with these pics! such bright colors and everything looks SO delicious! I do not even think I have many weird combos but I will literally eat hot sauce on EVERYTHING. thats probably weird to some people...haha!
not weird to me! hot sauce goes with EVERYTHING!
Lindsay
________________________________
oh boiling eggs can be tricky. I like to let them cool off to room temp before peeling. And vegemite has an interesting taste, kinda like a yeasty spread. Definitely takes some time to get used to!
haha.
Lindsay
________________________________
I know bananas are in the first one ; ) Not sure what else you have going on but they all look good! Who cares if they are weird as long as YOU like! Welcome to the downslope of the week!
Love!
mmm bacon latte... :)
Well I definitely think that you have fresh figs in your breakfast, ham and eggs on your spinach salad and cheese, marmite and butter on bread?? I like this game even if I'm no good at it :P
All I can tell you is what I ate Wednesday and that was too many healthy bites!! :)
Ok I WAS going to scream ..."veggie-crap sucks" then I saw Mac Murray & relaxed. ;)
They did something right in NZ. ;)
Now. I. Need. To. Order. The. Dang. Bites.
Invoice. Please!!
Ha, I may never be able to guess what its your combos, but I love that they're always so colorful! Means they're full of lotsa nutrients ;)
My weirdest combo...hm, I like ketchup on a lot of things. And peanut butter. But not the two together...ha, ew.
How funny that our posts are almost twins! Weird (to some) and delicious food combos and ending the night with a nice cool beverage! Love it!
I could care less what's in those eats...as long as I get to eat them!! And all the colors are gorgeous girl!
You crack me up!! Sometimes I get curious to try daring things like you, but don't push myself over that safe edge ;) are you the gal at the icecream shop looking for curry pistachio ice cream? LOL
xxoo
curry pistachio? oh I'd sooo want to try that!! hehe.
Lindsay

i know, i can't do a colorless meal unless i am sick and all i can eat is rice and crackers. haha.
and i love ketchup on everything! I once put tomatoes on a sandwich with cheese and cashew butter. Thats as close as I got to nut butter/ketchup mixed. Crazy, yes....but good really.
Lindsay

Bacon latte is a little much for me but I'm with you on wierd food combos. :) your combos look delish...which means I like weird combos too!imagine the combos we could come up with together in the kitchen! ;)
oh good! fuel up! at least they weren't cookies. haha. Did the kids like them?
Lindsay

i think you'd like it bre. Its like a salted hot chocolate. Sweet and savory! mmm. Now yes, lets get in the kitchen together. And dang I owe you a LONG email!!
Lindsay

At work I've kind of become known for my food weirdness... especially when it comes to ketchup. But I don't understand why people think it's so weird to put ketchup on a baked potato. The weird looks from putting it on broccoli and cauliflower I can understand... but what's so weird about a potato? People put it on fried potatoes and the taste/consistency of the two isn't much different...
I love that you eat combos!! My weirdest combo has to be toasting bread and dipping pieces of it in hot cocoa. That or eating eggs, bacon and fried rice for breakfast :)
Fig and banana oats...YUM! Looks like a tasty day my friend. You know I'm all about the weird combos. I love it! Have a great day today!
Um, what is in that salad, it looks REALLY good!! And now I want a glass of wine. Think it'll have to wait till tomorrow though (long run in the AM, some carbing up planned tonight though for 11 miles tomorrow!!) :)
i love your food! i think we both like to mix weird things together :) i think my weirdest was the soy beans, egg thingy i made the other day! have a great day girl :)
mmm, yummy! i'm a creature of habit for every breakfast and lunch, but hardly ever repeat supper recipes. life is more fun that way :)
Is that fig I spy in your breakfast concoction?? If so, YUMMMMMMMMM!!! I love weird combos!
I've always noticed that you were quite the combo queen!!! Your food looks delicious. Even if I have no idea what half of it is. :)
I heard Lift went out of business and turned into something else. Is that true? (I don't get down there enough)
we were there just the other day! I hope this isn't true. Now I must go find out.
eek!
Lindsay

Lindsay

and i think there chia seed and brown rice crispies and peanut flour in there too. hehe. I love that we share combo "flare!" sarena.
Lindsay
________________________________
oh I do that too! the bread has a little melted butter on it or pb. delicious michelle!
Lindsay
________________________________
its never weird to me. I put ketchup or salsa on eggs, vegetables, toast, potatoes, etc. I think their just jealous. haha.
Lindsay
________________________________
Guessing grapefruit & banans in your oatmeal?? & I would love my favorite combination right now: wine & cheese ;)
My grandma would make home made fig newtons. She called them fig pies. You would love them! I'm not into weird food combos. Not that long ago, I discovered adding fruit to my salad...and I thought I was a rebel :)
oh me too! wine cheese please!
Lindsay
________________________________
fig pies!! I want to them. Can you come make them for me? I'll feed you the rest of the time, deal?
Lindsay
________________________________
YES! You make dinner, then I would love to bake us some fig pies in a real kitchen...with appliances that don't fit in Barbie's dream house!

YUM, Lindsay! Everything looks so yummy! I don't consider any of your combos weird at all -- I would happily everything here! :) Lately I've been eating avocado and daiya cheese on my sweet potato with salt and pepper. And cayenne pepper is a must for my guac lately, too. Not super weird, just delish! :)
haha thank youuuuuuu almond joy! I'm taking a packing break today. I broke WAY too many things yesterday.
1. a dozen eggs
2. a bowl
3. a trash bag filled with trash
4. possibly my toe. its black. whoops?
anywho! LOVE YOU!
My first time visiting your blog and I love it already! Love weird combos! My kids are constantly asking me what the heck I'm eating. I don't know exactly what's in your awesome pics but I do know it looks yummy! :)
I'm going to take a stab at this! First set of pictures: cottage cheese, fig, cinnamon and possibly some sort of grain underneath. Second set: egg, tomato-rice mixture and...ham? Third set: GF French bread with cheese (what's underneath is a mystery!) Fourth set: roasted veggies, tomatoes, carrots, snow peas...?? Am I close? Even if I'm completely off, this was too much fun! :-)
A bacon latte?! Oh gracious, Christopher would be in heaven, haha!
As for weird combos... when I was a kid I used to like to mix my mashed potatoes & brown gravy and macaroni & cheese together and top it with tons of ketchup. I haven't had it since I was like 10, but I'm not gonna lie - I'd probably still like it today. ;)
Yum. Whatever that thang is in the hoagie.... I'll have FIVE.
i keep telling ya, I'll feed you if you train me. K? Come on down!
Lindsay

maybe liking something different all the time is (part of) what makes you a great blogger? You're never going to be dull, are you? :)
My weirdest: bacon stirred into a flourless chocolate cake just before baking. Freaking awesome. :)
Mind you, lots of what I what I eat is considered weird here, so... maybe my weirdness is just relative.
Tell me it's not Bananas, Paprika and Grapefruit!
I always think your combos look delicious! I like scrambled eggs, refried beans, and avocado with lime juice and nutritional yeast. :)
Well...I know what combo of grapes are in the wine bottle! :)
I enjoy strange things too...on Thanksgiving, I mix corn, apple sauce, mashed potatoes, and cinnamon together. Everyone thinks I am gross, but I think it is delicious! :)
Nikki, that sounds interesting but of course I'd try it. Kinda a sweet and savory combo! I like it!

nice touch with the lime juice dor! I gotta try that! By the way.....counting down the days still we can get to DALLAS!
Lindsay
________________________________
its not, but paprika might be a nice kick. haha. Its ginger/cinnamon and fig and banana with chia.
:)
Lindsay
________________________________
bacon in a flourless cake! I'd love that! can you tell i like bacon?! haha. I hope I never get dull. I bet my kids will be BORING with their eats, just my luck. Wish you lived near me S, i'd bribe you into the kitchen to make these weird creations.
Lindsay
________________________________
heck I'd probably like it. gravy and ketcup, two condiments that make me smile. haha.
Lindsay
________________________________
youre pretty darn close sara! the GF hoagie roll is topped with marmite, rice/tomato/pea mixture, butter, and cheese. The dinner is roasted peppers, mashed tator tots, onion, and ketchup. haha.
Lindsay

oh so glad you found it joyce so that I could meet you! I wanna know your craziest combo. I'd probably like it!

oh don't you love daiya melted!? its so good on anything! by the way, happy anniversary (belated).
Lindsay

BRIBE? As if.
If I lived nearby you'd be looking to get a restraining order because I'd be stalking you in your kitchen to learn all about healthy bites, we'd be GF baking up a storm, and I'd be haunting your training. Thank your lucky stars there's always at least ONE border control between us! ;) Love ya!
well if thats the case.......come on with your bad self!
;)
Lindsay

I don't usually do weird combos. I like most of the classics - pb and jelly, chocolate and pb, pb and pb. I don't have much clue on your combos, but is that paprika on your oats? If so - you really are crazy. LOL
haha, paprika would be interesting. I think I'd put cayenne on there before paprika. But it actually a cinnomon/ginger spice. good stuff!
Lindsay
________________________________
Oh, I'm so bad with guessing! I guess in that bottle is Pinot Noir, no? ;) It also seems that you like to put fruit into your savory dishes sometimes, but I'm not sure.
Some of my combos are a little unusual, but I wouldn't consider them weird. I still love my roasted chicken with fruit and almond butter, and I put cinnamon into my savory dishes. It's the best! :D
your savory dishes are my favorite! and no grain in the bowl. It was all chia seed and cream and fig. Delicious!
Lindsay
