Chick Fil A's milkshakes. Particularly the cookies 'n cream and mint cookies 'n cream shakes. Yummm-o!

Croissants with butter and guava and strawberry jelly.

Haven't had this for a while for breakfast, but I did daily when we were in Hawai'i and for about a week or so afterwards.

Better add croissants to the grocery list.

Soup.

Had a delicious bowl of chicken tortilla soup this past weekend. If you're in the area of Frisco, Texas, try Cristina's. It's a great Mexican restaurant. I highly recommend it.

I also love La Madeleine's potato soup. And homemade tomato soup. My mother-in-law gave me her mother-in-law's recipe, and it's just incredible. Very simple, but pretty close to perfection.

Baked potatoes.

With lotsa butter, sour cream, bacon bits, and green onions.

Today I had my first BBQ tater -- had the essentials listed above plus chopped beef.

In the words of Rachael Ray, yumm-o.

Blue Bell Cookies 'n Cream ice cream.

And then there's Rocky Road and Dutch Chocolate and Moo-llennium Crunch and Mint Chocolate Chip and Fudge Brownie Nut and Chocolate Brownie Overload and Triple Chocolate....Do you sense a pattern here?

Breakfast tacos.

Particularly bacon, potato, egg, and cheese breakfast tacos. With a dash of salsa.

Yum.
