Four Foods on Friday #43-the dreaming of Food Network edition
#1. What do you drink to rehydrate in the heat or after working out?
I know water is the best way to hydrate, but I love fountain Diet Coke over lots of ice when it’s hot!
#2. What do you eat to help boost or create energy?
I find that on mornings when I know I’ll need extra energy to get through my day, if I have a scrambled egg and a piece of light wheat toast, I feel more energized than if I just have cereal.
#3. What’s the healthiest snack you eat?
From “The G.I. Diet” by Rick Gallop, I layer fresh blueberries, Bran Buds, and sugar free yogurt into a bowl. It’s super-filling and calms down my ice cream cravings too.
#4. Share a recipe or instructions for your ideal three course meal.
My ideal three course meal would be prepared for me by Mario Batali and Giada DeLaurentis from Food Network.
First Course:Bruschetta Con Pomodori
Second Course:Baked Ziti with Meatballs. DISCLAIMER: I copied this recipe from Food Network.com. I made no changes to it at all. I have not made this recipe myself.
Third Course: I think these Chocolate-Hazelnut Smooches (get it? instead of Kisses? so cute!) would make a yummy simple dessert or lunch box treat, and like Giada, I LOVE Nutella.
And so I don’t forget where I saw it, here’s a great brown bag lunch recipe from Food Network.com:

Play along with Four Foods on Friday! Get the details at Fun, Crafts and Recipes.
1. I like to hydrate with water, gatorade or iced tea. Mostly Iced tea.
2. I’ve never really had a food that I’ve related to me being more energized. I should really figure this out though. Off the top of my head, I’d say Peanut Butter sandwiches on wheat bread.
3. Healthiest snack… I’m not much of a snacker. I’d say carrots or grapefruit.
4. My favorite 3 course meal would be Puerto Rican:
Apps: Don’t know what it’s called but it’s plantains stuffed with meat. It has an amazing dipping sauce. Gotta find it sometime.
Main Course: White Rice, Pink Beans, Grilled Marinated Chicken.
Dessert: Flan!

I am addicted to fountain Diet Cokes! And I know all the best places in my area to get them.

I feel better when I have protein for breakfast, too. Most mornings I will add raw pecans to my cereal or eat some type of nut.

Now YOU know how to dream up a good 3 course meal! :)
Anele- Thanks! Pretty much everything on the Food Network is my dream meal! :)
Sheri- Some day when I’m rich and famous, I’m totally buying my own fountain pop machine! Why should convenience stores and McDonald’s get all my money? LOL
Oh, if you can get Mario and Giada to come over & cook for you I hope you’ll set a place for me! :D
