49th Yummy pic

(and 50th, but who's counting?) I've been fascinated with baking potatoes cut into slices. Most of the time, I see instructions for adding slivers of garlic to each piece, but I just don't have the patience to slice garlic, then parcel it out in slivers. This first pic comes with instructions and looks delightful. The second pic is one of my dream breakfast spreads, in honor of a friend who served crepes at his birthday party.

Edit: for those of you who got my google post advertising this post, I'm sorry- I miss counted. :( I fixed it though! :D

I came across this pic today and now I cannot wait to try it! Bacon and egg pizza! I'm sure this isn't the first time someone has come up with this delicious idea, but it is the first time I've seen it, and it looks incredible!

Today's meal is desert. Not just any desert, but a waffle desert! I first had a Swedish desert waffle when I was about 10 years old. Now, every once in a while, I crave them! Yet, every time I buy one at the store, it tastes nothing like the confection that still (occasionally) haunts my dreams. In the hopes of replacing it with something a little more attainable (I do, after all, have a waffle maker; I just need to experiment. . .) here is today's Yummy pic: waffles and ice cream, mango infused. . .

46th Yummy pic

This was specially gifted to me from a member of a social media group, when I raved about both dishes individually and wanted to see them in a single picture so that I could use them for this blog. Well, sometimes, wishes are granted! Here are coconut prawns and seared scallop wontons, beautifully cooked and plated in just the right way to show off their loveliness. . .

As a tribute to my fallen tilapia (i.e., I made it, then passed it over in favor of other meals, and now have to throw it out :( ), I present to you Baja Fish Tacos, pretty much exactly what I had been wanting to make with those delectable white fillets in my fridge. Now, it is too late. . . I don't know when I'll recover. . . ;)

I just have to rave! I had the most magnificent lunch yesterday. It was so good that the leftovers served as a midnight snack for my hubby and I. Normally, I don't like hot sandwiches that have been cooled in the refrigerator, but this was a magnificent exception. . .

I love tiny bite-sized dishes, so it was really hard to choose just one image of the delectable little treats, since they can vary so widely in style, presentation, and contents. These little darlings won through the sheer number of different tastes and textures that they are comprised of. Crunchy, smoky, tangy, crisp, fluffy, and savory. Man! I wish I had some of these right now!

42nd Yummy pic

These look absolutely delicious! Bad for my waistline, but who cares?! I have a treadmill AND a gym membership. There is no excuse for me not indulging, right? I can taste them now. . .

Drool. . .

41st Yummy pic

. . . and 42nd. I just couldn't decide which I liked more. One is a balanced meal, but has a watermark through the middle. The meal itself is delicious-looking though. The other isn't balanced and doesn't have anything written through the middle, but. . . it isn't balanced. :( For some reason, today that is really important to me. . .

I knew I wanted to make fish for dinner, and I knew I would pair it with rice, but I never thought of doing a fresh tomato-and-melon salad with it. Now I can't wait for dinner tonight!

Sometimes, you just get a craving for a meal just a little fancier than normal. My favorite way to achieve that is with stuffed chicken breasts. Wrap them in bacon and bake until crispy, and I'm one happy diner. . .

38th Yummy pic

I have been remiss. I call myself a lover of Indian food, yet I have never tried a lassi. The ones in this picture make my mouth water. I do believe I will be rectifying this wrong in the very near future. . .

37th Yummy pic

Sometimes, you just have to try something new. Baked potato skin eggs Benedict certainly qualifies as new in my experience. Doesn't it look divine?

36th Yummy pic. . .

Sometimes, simplicity is the answer. Of course, I would have to make sure I had a salad and another side of some sort, simply because that's how I was raised, but this is a mighty tempting main course. . .

35th yummy pic

When next I find myself at a Japanese restaurant, I am determined to order something that encompasses the following: rice, green salad, tempura veggies, sushi, and teriaki. Chicken or pork, I don't really care either way. This looks divine!

Sometimes, you just crave breakfast. Not just any breakfast, but an elaborate extravaganza celebrating the glorious concoctions that are breakfast foods. That's how I'm feeling today. . .

A spread similar to this ought to do it. . .

33rd yummy pic,

a delectable array of tempting dishes, rather. I love Lebanese food as presented to American palattes. I qualify that because as my knowledge of the region grows, I may find that the traditional preparations are absolutely incomparable. For now, I shall feast my eyes on this amazing spread and anticipate my next visit to my local Lebanese restaurant, Arabian Breeze. . ..

How could anyone NOT want to taste a little of every dish?

32nd yummy pic

In honor of our feast last night, featuring fabulous homemade guacamole, I present to you the most delicious-looking nachos I've seen in a very long time. . .

31st yummy pic

I've seen many versions of Hawaiian Burgers, but this has to be one of my all-time favorites. It appeals to the kid in me as well as the adult. The red peppers are unique in my experience, but adds a sense of adult adventure. The lack of a top bun also appeals to those of us who are weight-conscious. The sweet pineapple has universal appeal, as both children and adults love it. All in all, a burger I'd like to try someday. :)

(yes, I see the top bun in the background, but you could choose to eat it without it. . .)

30th tempting dish. . ..

So today is a 2-for, or "a tworfer", depending on your preferred terminology.
I love pesto and don't eat it nearly as often as I would prefer. The yummy sauce can pair nicely with everything from fish to chicken to steak to just pasta, so, honestly, what's not to like?
In honor of that versatility, I have two separate images feature the deliciousity that is pesto. . ..

Look at that green goodness, draped all over that thick, juicy steak . . .yum!

Here we see it paired with what appears to be whole baby basil, and tomatoes. What could be better and as simple?

29th yummy pic

You'd think that after just having eaten fettuccine alfredo last night, I wouldn't still be craving it. Ah well, at least staring at it in a picture while salivating isn't adding inches to my hips. ;)

28th tempting dish

I have only recently fallen head over heels for zucchini in all its states: cooked or raw, that squash is mine! Of course, this dove-tails nicely with my fervent desire to have it all, i.e. lose weight, tone up, and still eat like a normal person! ;) This dish is the perfect meal for me at this stage in my life. Protein, carbs, and veggies, including my favorite-at-the-moment, zucchini. . .

27th tempting meal. . .

In homage to my SO who just recently returned from a wedding where he enjoyed a similar meal, I felt this was both mouthwatering and relevant. . .

Prime rib (he loves it!), mushrooms and delectable asparagus. Who could ask for anything more?

Succulent, juicy, mouthwatering. All can be said of this steak. I'm sure many people would rather have theirs more pink in the center, but for me, this looks absolutely perfect! Pair it with whatever you want (how about nothing!) and you've got the makings of a satisfying, delicious meal. . .

25th yummy dish

I think I just found a new obsession. . . taco pizza! If this doesn't make your mouth water, you need to check your pulse . . . ;)

24th delectable image

I don't know if I was craving Italian before I saw this picture, or if the desire was a result. Either way, I think I know what I'm making for dinner tonight. . . .
