In case you’ve feared that, during my loco hiatus, my foodidentity (foodie + identity = foodidentity, right?) underwent any changes, Monday’s eats should assure you that I’m exactly as I left you.
While I do my best to embrace creativity en la cocina, I’m undeniably a creature of habit. When I find something I love to eat, I eat it. Often.
That said, I present to you: A Foodie Groundhog’s Day.
Por ejemplo, I am still consuming the world’s biggest bowls of Honey Sunshine for breakfast.
If I were una foodie inteligente, I’d have learned by now that cereal is not an ideal breakfast para mi because it takes me two to three refills of that grande bowl to achieve my desired level of fullness.
Alas, I still cannot resist the allure of knowing exactly what I want upon waking. So, when it’s cereal, I eat cereal. And add as many peanut butter chips and raisins as I can fit into my grubby little manos.
I’m still quite partial to manzanas as mid-morning snacks.
Despite the fact that an apple is an apple, any way you slice it, I still attempt to prettify my food.
I still maintain that I hate pizza. Still, I regularly crave and consume pita pizzas.
On this baked beauty: hummus, Laughing Cow, roasted eggplant and roasted red peppers.
I still have not acquired the will power, nor the desire, to use hummus as an ingredient and not dip into it for some on-the-side snackage.
I’m still a freak of nature and thoroughly enjoy dipping grahams in hummus.
I’m still defying the laws of portion control and consuming nuts by the bowl. Opposed to blogland’s ever-so-popular nuts by the handful.
Lo siento, but a handful of nuts has never been enough for me. (Insert far-too-obvious TWSS.) I know those who suffer from snackface syndrome agree.
I do still try to abide by my principles of balance. And so, I countered my abundant snackage with some abundant saladage.
Sí, I am still all about the ensalada enorme for dinner.
In the mix: bag of baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, shrooms, onion, cucumber, celery, avocado, strawberries, balls and shredded ched. Still into dressing my veggies with honey and balsamic.
I continued on my quest to get some more greens with something you know you’ve seen before.
Still a full-fledged addiction.
I’m also still really into ensuring that carbs are included in every meal.
Never. Gets. Old.
What’s your eating estilo? Are you a creature of habit? Or do you an anti-meal repeater? I’m definitely a creature of habit. But I love experimenting with and tweaking my favorites—in part so I don’t bore you all, and in part so I keep my beloved tastebuds feliz.
Enjoy what’s left of your Groundhog’s Día!
Amor,
Sarah
Definitely a creature of habit. Then I try something new, wonder why I didn’t try it sooner and eat that for a while…until something else comes along.
Cereal and Greek yogurt never get old. Neither do wraps, felafel or hummus. Or bananas.
I didn’t even realize it was Groundhog Day
I am a mix of a creature of habit and a sporadic eater. Usually I get on these food kicks for a few days or a week, and then I try something new and get addicted to that.
Thanks for letting me know about the commenting issue on my blog last night!
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
I had no idea it was groundhog day, either! Ha!
LOVE pita pizzas =)
xo

I pretty much want to eat everything in this post. That pita pizza looks divine! Glad you’re back homegirl
You have no idea how much I LOVE that you are back!
Not only do I agree with bowls of cereal, dips into hummus and bossy salads, but I also agree that a handful of nuts is never enough. I like to try out a few handfuls, see what I like.
Dirrrrtay.
I’m a creative of habit during the week, fa sho. I always want wraps for lunch, salads and veg for dinner and cereal for mo snacks. BUT, come the weekend, I’m sick of my food. I want anything else but my own food. It’s an odd thang.
Anyway, I Loooooveeee you!!!!
I am most definitely a creature of habit, but I got through like 2-week periods stuck on one thing and then tend to forget it ever existed and move to something else.
That salad is E.P.I.C.
Honey sunshine is amazing! PB chips seem like a great addition…I might have to try that out
I’m the same way with cereal.. I def eat like 2-4 servings. People asked me if I measure (I’m assuming it’s because in my pics the bowls are always overflowing) lol. DEF NOT measuring.. puhhlease.
Im the definition a creature of habit.. sometimes I wish I wasn’t but I just work better with a schedule!
welcome back girly!! missed your blog lots
i’m a creature of habit, hard as i may try to mix things up. thats wh y i look food bloggies like yours!
SO glad you are back girl! Thanks for the little trip down memory lane!
Mm that pita pizza looks good!! I’m a sucker for anything with roasted red peppers
Hey there, great blog! I will try anything once, but I’d say I am a creature of habit
i consume nuts in bowls too so no shame here
I can’t get full just from a handful.
love all the hummus. of course it goes best with those crackers!! have a great day
Happy Groundhog’s Day!! I love how you sliced your apple – so pretty!!
I’m definitely a creature of habit, but try to experiment and try new foods as much as I can.
Your blog is very lighthearted and fun! It shows how much passion you have for food!
There are certain foods I love, but I can rarely eat the same thing twice! My hubby on the other hand, eats alll the same things.
I am totally a creature of habit!
I’m loving all the peanut butter chips in your cereal bowl
I’m definitely a creature of habit…cereal every morning, baby. Which is why you are a genius. PB chips in cereal?! Way to make my morning! Also loving the bowl of nuts. A handful never was enough for me either
GIRL YOUR EATS ARE AMAZE!
especially the pita PIZZA and your kashi sunshine! ive never thought about putting butterscotch chips in my cereal..genious boo!
im a meal repeater for breakfast..but dinna i like to switch it up a bit!
Your eats are so nom worthy
I am totally a creature of habit, and lately i have been stuck in a foodie rut for sure. I need to get out of it asap. You have totally got me inspired!
I’m definitely a creature of habit. I’ll eat the same exact breakfast for days, but then I’ll get sick of it and switch to something else for a while. It’s fast, easy, and I know it’ll fill me up and keep me going, but I forget how good change can be!
Graham crackers & hummus? That sounds crazy enough to be really good!
oh my god muffin do you have any idea how contenta I am that you’re back!? espanol dos is kickin my ass so I need you in my life!!
lurve you long time <3
Glad you’re back! I am totally a creature of habit — I eat the same thing over and over until I eventually become so sick of it that I have to switch to a new obsession
any chance you can share the peanuty rice recipe from your post yesterday? I would LOVE to make that for my boyfriend and I
GIRL!!!!! THERE YOU ARE! Jeez lol. I kept checking back and months went by and I was like.. did she fall off the face of the earth? But for real, I just hoped you were okay :\ Well now that I know you are (and enjoying delicious bowls of food), I’m relieved.
I’m not a creature of habit… well some things I like to have but I add a twist to it. I have learned to appreciate leftovers however since this semester has been extra busy. But yeah, I LOVE trying new things. Especially cheeses
I’ll pick a specialty cheese that I haven’t tried before and find some delicious sounding recipes and get to crackin’.
Muchos besos y abrazos my tastebud gemela!! I’m so glad you’re back
XOXO

i could seriously eat the same thing every day if it wasn’t for my food blog.
Habit, habit, habit. I think I could subside on the same 10 foods for the rest of mi vida. However, I’m always up for trying new yummy things, too.
yay i loved this post- of course i am a creature of habit. but i am also one of convenience… haha and at school, options are minimal.

I am glad you are back to blogging! I am definitely a creature of habit. I could eat the same things every day for breakfast and lunch but I do switch it up for dinner most of the time.
Kashi Honey Sunshine is so darn addictive! Love that stuff.
total groundhog. i’m not ashamed.
maybe it’s because i grew up in woodstock, IL where groundhog day was filmed. yeah, don’t let them fool you. it wasn’t filmed in punxsutawney, PA…
While I love to expiriment, when I find something I love, esp. when eating out I tend to stick with it! When food is delish – why mess with a good thing??

I’m such a creature of habit. I have straight up oatmeal every morn for breakfast at school, and have been doing the whole cottage cheese + orange slices as a mid-afternoon snack now for almost a week! I did have a yog mess yesterday though, instead–to change it up! Obvious pretzels on side of the CC bowl of dippage, or if i’m gettin’ fancy I throw almond butta and granola in the mix too!! Have i told you this yet?? Regardless–i lovveeee.
Glad we’re both still nurturing our love for kashi honey sunshine, big ol’ salads, hum-daddy and manzanas on the daily
I’m a total creature of habit. I eat the exact same thing all the time. Thus, why I don’t post a lot of my meals; they look exactly like the meals of the day before.
bowl of honey sunshine with raisins and butterscotch chips look yuummy!
