Day Three of Ben<\/a> and Beth’s Top Ten Lists takes us straight to the stomach…Top Ten Foods.\u00a0 Let me begin by saying that this was very difficult for me.\u00a0 Several of my favorite foods did not make the list.\u00a0 In reality I wanted to do a Top Ten List with 90 honorable mentions, but Ben<\/a> told me no.\u00a0 Enjoy the list and don’t get too hungry!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. IS Special <\/strong>– Grilled chicken, Mexican rice and white cheese sauce all mixed together…what is not to like?\u00a0 This is a specialty of a Mexican restaurant in BG.\u00a0 However, it has expanded to El Mazatlan in Bowling Green (known as the Chef Special) and Casa Grande in Somerset (known there as Vivian’s special).\u00a0 Vivian, daughter of Casa Grande owner,\u00a0 came to school at WKU and brought the dish back to\u00a0 Somerset.\u00a0 It has now become a favorite at Casa Grande<\/a> as well.\u00a0\u00a0 I would also like to add that I will eat just about anything Mexican, I love it!\u00a0 I am pretty sure I was Mexican in a former life \ud83d\ude09<\/li>\n
  2. Grilled Chicken or Cindy’s BBQ Chicken, Mashed Potatoes and Corn on the Cob<\/strong> – This is a great comfort food.\u00a0 I could eat mashed potatoes and fresh corn on the cob for every meal and not be disappointed.\u00a0 Cindy is my second mom in Somerset.\u00a0 She makes the best BBQ Chicken.\u00a0 Growing up I would often call her house and ask what she was having for dinner, if it was BBQ chicken I was sure to stay over longer!<\/li>\n
  3. Soups especially Chili or Okra Stew<\/strong> – I love a nice warm bowl of soup on a chili evening.\u00a0 Both chili and okra stew are hearty and delicious!\u00a0 My chili is a staple, it is the main dish at our annual Halloween party.\u00a0 Okra stew is a mix of okra and fresh summer vegetables, shrimp and sausage.\u00a0 I just discovered this recipe last summer and fell in love with it!\u00a0 I hope to post recipes of these in the near future, so if you are interested keep you eyes open.<\/li>\n
  4. Roast and Potatoes<\/strong> – I like to stick this in the crock pot before I leave for work and come home to\u00a0 a delicious smelling house.
    \n<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. Anything breakfast related (waffles, pancakes, biscuits and gravy…)<\/strong> – What can I say I love it all.\u00a0 It doesn’t matter if I cook it myself, someone else cooks it or we go to a favorite hot spot in town, I love it.\u00a0 If I could eat breakfast for every meal I would.\u00a0 Ben<\/a> doesn’t really care for breakfast so I have to occassionally sneak it in on him.<\/li>\n
  6. Lettuce Wraps<\/strong> – I am particularly fond of these from P.F. Chang’s<\/a>.\u00a0 Like most meals out that we enjoy we have tried to recreate the masterpiece.\u00a0 While ours is good, it doesn’t compare to the real deal (you can also look for this recipe soon).\u00a0 I could eat lettuce wraps and their Asparagus and be completely content.<\/li>\n
  7. Sushi (not the raw stuff)<\/strong> – This is another fairly new staple to our menu.\u00a0 We haven’t branched out much, but from what I have tried I enjoy sushi…maybe one day I will try the raw rolls!<\/li>\n
  8. 805 or Chicken Delight from Royal Thai<\/a><\/strong> – Let me begin by saying that this is probably my favorite restaurant in town.\u00a0 So much so that we actually rented the entire restaurant out for our rehersal dinner.\u00a0 We frequent this establishment often.\u00a0 It has gotten so bad that when we go in they know exactly what we want and know us by name.\u00a0 At one point they would bring us a dessert that had been temporarily taken off the menu.\u00a0 Is this pathetic?\u00a0 Both of these dishes are a mix of rice or noodles, veggies, chicken, and Thai style spices.\u00a0 It is making my mouth water just thinking about.<\/li>\n
  9. Beef Stew<\/strong> – I would consider this one of my specialties.\u00a0 In the winter (and sometimes in the summer) I will make a big batch of this to eat on for a week.\u00a0 I serve mine over rice.\u00a0 Again, I hope to post recipes of this very soon.<\/li>\n
  10. Veggie Patties<\/strong> – This is the newest recipe in my recipe box.\u00a0 It is a compilation of fresh veggies pattied together with egg, flour and seasonsings, then fried to perfection.\u00a0 Check here<\/a> for pictures and the recipe.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
