It’s Monday and let’s face it guys. I’m weird.
And you know something, I’m GLAD to be out of the norm—uniqueness rules dude 8)
I was thinking about some of the weird things I do regarding one of the main themes of this blog—FOOD!
So to honor my foodiness, the following is a list of things that make me KNOW I’m a food-lover intermingled with some recent noteworthy eats. I know a lot of my bloggy friends enjoy and savor food like none other too, so maybe you guys can relate…or just shun me and think I’m oober strange…

You know you’re a foodie if you spend lunch talking about what you’ll have for dinner.
(greek yogurt, cottage cheese, kamut puffs, whey protein, peanut butter)
You know you’re a foodie when you plan your vacation around which restaurants you will eat at each day instead of which sites you will see.
(Snackimals! FYI—The peanut butter flavored ones are by far the best)
You know you’re a foodie when you go shopping for bowls that will make your food look pretty.
(Red Lobster oven broiled tilapia with double broccoli—their broccoli is the best)
You know you’re a foodie when you call around to 5 million grocery stores asking if they have Libby’s pumpkin in stock.
You know you’re a foodie when the thought of an insanely delicious breakfast sends Santa shivers down your spine. So much excitement, it keeps you up at night.
(Best b-fast on earth: cottage cheese, whey protein, frozen raspberries, original puffins cereal, and peanut butter)
You know you’re a foodie if you get excited to watch marathons of Top Chef, Chopped, Sweet Genius, or other cooking shows, even when they’re reruns.
(Cottage cheese and a crumbled homemade protein brownie with sunflower seed butta)
You know you’re a foodie when you spend more on your grocery bill than on clothing or gas.
You know you’re a foodie when you treat Whole Foods trips like the world’s greatest field trip.
You know you’re a foodie if you shed a tear at the sight of an empty nut butter jar.
(My friend’s homemade pumpkin spice bread with cream cheese frosting—yes, she’s a culinary wizard)
You know you’re a foodie if you get wildly excited to try new foods.
(Salmon can, greek yogurt, hard boiled egg whites nommm)
You know you’re a foodie when you have withdrawals from your blender and kitchen supplies while away from home.
(Mahi Mahi, grilled zucchini, big carrot mustache smiley face man)

Dude I’ve been known to do ALL of the above. NO SHAME! 
Now it’s your turn!
You know you’re a foodie if/when…
Hahah. You just described me.
You know you’re a foodie when you own more nut butters than shoes.

Hahaha I loved this.
You know you’re a foodie when grocery shopping takes you hours (and is exciting yet scary!)
You know you’re a foodie when you have a whole page of food related apps on your phone.
You know you’re a foodie when there is a drawer at your desk that your colleges refer to as the pantry.
oh wowww so I AM A TRUE FOODIE! I IS ONE!!
Haha, this is awesome. I’m not alone for sure. You know you’re a foodie when you want to try the most outrageously unique restaurants. Or when you nibble on everything in front of you just because you want to try it all? 
these are all so true! whole foods is better than disneyland…that’s for sure!
Dear Alex,
I know from the day I started reading this blog that you were weird you didnt have to convince me of that Fact!
“You know you’re a foodie if you get excited to watch marathons of Top Chef, Chopped, Sweet Genius, or other cooking shows, even when they’re reruns.”
I do tis all the time! I have seen just about every rerun that exists of these shows. Its all I wash on tv is these kinds of shows!
“You know you’re a foodie when you have withdrawals from your blender and kitchen supplies while away from home.”
I have withdrawls from having two ovens too when away from home!
“You know you’re a foodie if you spend lunch talking about what you’ll have for dinner.”
Hell I ask thuis before I even get up and eat my breakfast! I dream about what I will have for dinner te next day ;D
“You know you’re a foodie when you plan your vacation around which restaurants you will eat at each day instead of which sites you will see”
TOTALLY ME!!!!
I guess that makes me a foodie too?
*know=knew
bawahahahahah i love that turtle pic!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE this post! i’d much rather spend money on food rather than clothes! i was just saying the other day, i know i’m a foodie when the worst part of having a cold is not the incessant sneezing, headache, or sore throat… but rather my inability to taste food!!!
Oh my gosh you’re so right!! I hate that too!
i love your name spoon
you know you’re a foodie when you have more pictures on your phone of food than you do of anything else hahah
hahahahahah i love youuuuuuuuuuu!! this eats look AMAZINGGGGGGGG you totally got me hooked on a yogurt messsss…soy yogurt for me tho with loads of protein powder and cereal of courseee!
I totally agree with that vacation one! haha
I love the oatmeal snackimals
if/when you are in college and regularly are whipping up things like soups, chilis, pizza dough and roasted squash, haha.
ahahahahah a turtle eating mashed potato!? See this is why I love your posts, I always get to see photos of things I wouldnt even think of searching for myself.
OH MY GOSH!! everrrrything on this list I am guilty of!!
You know your a foodie when you leave the gym early cause your too excited about dinner and wanna get a start on it. (I exercise in the afternoon, so this is always me.)
That’s totally me with breakfast!
I am SO With you on all of these!! Though an empty nut butter jar doesn’t make me shed a tear.. it means it’s time to eat out of, and an excuse to buy a new jar!
You know you’re a foodie when you find grocery shopping more fun than clothes shopping. When you go to 6 different grocery stores because you like to buy certain products and each grocery store carries something different. When you go to Williams Sonoma for fun. Ah, I love it!
Williams sonoma for the win!!
Not going to lie, the thought of breakfast keeps me up EVERY NIGHT. Literally, it’s the one thing I can say I look forward to every. single. day.
hahaha!! LOOOVE this!! I totally know what you mean with a lot of these..especially spending more money on groceries than on anything else (yes, even clothes lol). And trips to WF – umm total highlight of my day! I get so excited when I find something new that I’ve never seen before.
LOL! I agree with them all! And you know youre a foodie when you’d rather go to Whole foods than clothes shopping.
you know you’re a foodie when your “retail therapy” doesn’t involve malls, but rather you walking up & down the aisles of the natural food store!
never fails to bust me out of a foul mood!
Agreed
We must meet up one day and be awesome random foodies together!…with the potato eating tortoise as our pet! I do pretty much all of these things hehe and very much need to try salmon instead of tuna with egg and yogurt.
You know you’re a foody when you spend 15 minutes trying to get your bowl of peanut, yogurt oats to look all swirly.
LOL I spent $800 on food last month and $90 on clothes. I think I have a problem.
This was so hilarious but true! Love it
Totally agree about the Whole Foods one–I got to go this weekend and I was rushing my dad out the door so we could get there sooner!
You know you’re a foodie when you think about your next meal when you’re sitting in a long boring class. I’m totally guilty of this one
Oh man that’s true, sometimes I doodle foods while I’m bored haha
This post is hilariously entertaining and totally reminds me of my brother, who is not only a foodie but also a college basketball player and therefore eats an obscene amount of food all day. He has an entire notebook dedicated to EVERY restaurant he’s been to in the last 4 years, complete with ratings and favorite meals. It includes restaurants on the other side of the country…and he plans vacations based on being able to revisit the favorites!
Hahahaha you are hilarious. And I must be a foodie because I read all of these things thinking, “What, that’s not normal?”
You know you’re a foodie when..um…you have a food blog?
this is toooo cute
i love this post!!!!
I have similar foodie moments – seriously, even when I’m enjoying a great meal I am already thinking about what I get to eat next….lol
Hahaha I’m DEFINITELY A foodie!!!
I LOVE Trips to whole foods and trader joes!
I could literally spend HOURS in whole foods perusing the aisles. is it weird that grocery shopping is literally one of my favorite hobbies. Clearly, I need to get a life hahahah
I love this post, Alex! I’m guilty of doing everything you wrote!
You know you’re a foodie when your boyfriend thinks you love food way too much. Haha.
UGHHH I want to move to Texas RIGHT NOW and be best friends with you!! I DO ALL OF THESE EVERYDAY!! I loveeeee this kind of stuff. You know you’re a foodie when you take a picture of something someone else would disregard as just another meal, but you search all over for the perfect lighting to really make that meal SHINE!
Come down yonder my friend! Bahaha YES
gotta get that perfect lighting!
This is the best post ever Alex!! I love it because we can all relate so much! haha.
You know you’re a foodie when you avoid doing your homework by thinking about what you’ll eat next, and when you pack a jar of nut butter in your bag…just in case
Have a great Monday!
Nut butter jar in purse=necessity haha
You know your a foodie when you go through a jar of PB in less than a week
Amen!!
when your laying in bed at night discussing with your hubby what you are planning on eating the next day
Is it bad that I think about what I am going to have for dinner at breakfast?! Obviously this is the best post ever!
You know you are a foodie when you insist on having company over, so you have an excuse to cook and bake
I relate 105% on all of these! My favorite is the planning what restaurants to hit up instead of what historical sites you want to see on a trip! Traveling is MEANT for eating in my book!
Love this post! It’s so true! I just found your blog and I love it (and the mustache man)!
You know you’re a foodie when your family/friends no longer give you strange looks when you photograph every meal you eat. 
hahaha so true!
You know you’re a foodie when you wait to eat your food until after you’ve captured the perfect photo of it!
Oh my word yes!!
Haha the grocery bill one is ESPECIALLY close to my heart. My roommate struggles with buying too much clothes, but me? I struggle with holding back at Publix 8)
I love this! It’s all so true!!
Just found your blog and I love it already
Here’s mine:
You know you’re a foodie when you’re the only student in the halls who shops at the local organic farm shop and who brings 6 cookbooks to uni!
Okk..I am SUCH a foodie!!
Being a foodie is awesome! We should totally open a foodie club or something..
All your eats look delicious! (like always!)
You know your a foodie when you wake up drooling because you dream of the breakfast your gonna have..

Now here's mine:
You know you're a foodie when all of your friends beg to come over to your place so you can cook for them
