My favorite types of foods have changed a bit of late as I have moved away from a meat-based diet. Here are my current top five favorite foods. This post started as a list of my top five favorite foods, but I thought I would add to it. The 50 recipes are below this brief introduction. Enjoy!

#1 – Stir Fry – Stir fry or foods cooked in a wok I suppose, really makes me feel good about what I am eating and making for my family. Replacing the meat with tofu amplifies this effect, especially with some sweet and spicy sauce, basmati rice, and an ice-cold Sapporo or tea. stir fry Can have almost anything in it, which makes it a great way to clear out the fridge.

#2 – Pizza – Pizza is so versatile. My favorite is pineapple, red onions and spinach. I enjoy a good margarita pizza as well, with some bruschetta and maybe a medium-bodied Chianti.

#3 – Smoothies – Fruit smoothies are definitely my jam these days. I switched from coffee to smoothies in the morning recently and I have made some considerable gains on muscle by loading it with whey protein and fresh/frozen fruits, pomegranate juice, and a little bit of coconut milk.

#4 – Deserts – Thankfully my doctor has not told me I need to cut these out of my diet…yet. Of late, I have been getting into bakery pastries and such. Tiramisu, fruit tarts and crème brûlée top the list.

#5 – Homemade Soup – It is hard to beat some well-crafted homemade soup or chili. Soup makes for a great appetizer or main course and of course, cab have anything in it. Brócoli cheese, clam chowder, chicken noodles, and French onion are probably my top 4.
