Erin’s 3 Favorite Healthy Foods

We’re hungry! And talking about food for this round of Question of the Week, which asks each FBG, “What are your three favorite healthy foods?” These are the hard questions, folks…

While kale is a new favorite of mine, I thought I’d go with the favorites I’ve loved for years now. The oldies but goodies. Besides, Jenn already stole kale!

My 3 Favorite Healthy Foods

1. Brussels sprouts. It’s only been over the last couple of years that I was introduced to the B-sprouts. I made them for the first time on the stovetop, but once I started roasting them, I was sold. Now they’re almost always in my crisper, just waiting to become an easy side dish. I simply toss them with olive oil, salt and pepper and throw them in the oven. I love the taste, the texture…yum!

2. Tofu. I was never afraid to eat tofu, but I was afraid to cook with it. Luckily I realized you can’t really screw it up. My hubby loves it, too, so it’s a great meat substitute in stir fry. Whether I’m eating it at home or out, I do love me the tofu.

3. Cherries. Like Tish, cherries are one of my very faves. If I could live on one food, cherries would be the top contender. I could eat them all day, every day (if they were always in season and not so expensive!).

Runners up? Avocado (like Kristen). Fresh homegrown tomatoes. Cuties (they’re not just for kids!). Mmm…I’m getting hungry!

Are any of these on your favorite healthy foods list? —Erin
