You know I love pickles….(remember when I had a to-go cup of them from Salt Lick?)
And despite the photo below, you know I love pineapple!
But did you know that I also love pickles PLUS pineapple?
Yeah, neither did I. Well, until the Labor Day BBQ I attended last night, during which I played one of my favorite gastronomic games: “What happens if I put both of these random foods into one bite?” [Sadly, there is no photographic evidence of this game.]
In honor of that peculiar pairing, I would like to take a minute to share some of the perfect pairings and crazy combinations that punctuated my day.
Bananas + Pecans + Maple = Overnight Oat Amazingness
Baby Spinach + Spring Mix + Arugula
+ Orange Mustard Glazed Chicken + Fresh Corn + Okra + Carrots + Red Bell Peppers
= Leftovers-Inspired Lunchable
Mango + Honey (?) = Must Try
Nothing special, sadly….but….
Yogurt + Granola = Granogurt!
And granogurt is always a good time.
What I Want To Eat Always*
One not-so-pleasant pairing?
(The storm is just angry because it wanted to be named Hermi-O-ne.)

(I can’t say Top 5 because tomorrow I will probably have different thoughts on the topic.)
(Pepper) Mint (Ice Cream) + Chocolate (Fudge)
Pimiento Cheese + Wheat Thins
Peanut Butter + Bananas +Honey
Crystallized Ginger + Blueberries
Pretzels + M&Ms*

mmm totally agree on the pretzels & m&ms combo. Did you have to work today? I heard some school were shut down in your work area?
It's not something I eat regularly, but it's actually pretty tasty! Potato chips + ice cream. The salty and sweet are delicious. Must be why I love peanut butter cups so much.
Haha! Hermione, that's too funny. I was one of those sad looking people walking around campus yesterday without an umbrella. It was fun until I got really cold in class.
It's not creative but carrots + almond butter = perfection.
Fried pickles + ranch may = heart attack but I can't resist once in a while.
And finally another heart attack? Pimiento cheese + hamburgers = amazingness in your mouth
Proseco plus strawberry puree is also pretty fabulous.
And we can't forget mimosas = champagne and a splash of light OJ
Orange + Chocolate.
Lavender + Chocolate.
Pineapple + Mango + Vanilla Soymilk.
Manchego Cheese + any in-season fruit.
It's STILL raining in Cedar Park – I went to work yesterday, but with the more-than-11-inches of rain in Cedar Park by 5 this morning, I opted for no driving today.
Chevre + Mango Chutney
on a cracker, on olive levain, on wonderbread, it's delicious!
Lately I'm having chevre and ancho chili peach jam sandwiches, just as good!
