Eating tilapia, asparagus, and sweet potato is strange.
Not necessarily good.
In lieu of a recipe from me this week, I want to share some of the #strangebutgood creations you’ve linked up that I can’t wait to try!
This list is certainly not exhaustive…. you guys are brilliant creators of strange!  Check out more on the Pinterest board.  I’ve been collecting them to make post competition.
1. Banana Cornbread from Suzanne.  Can you imagine the luscious texture?!
2. Lean Beef Balls… with a twist from the twerking king, Arman.  Because you know I love some fruit with my beef!
3. You will NEVER guess what makes this Lemon Shortbread Oatmeal so creamy!
4. It’s been way too long since my last kabocha squash.  Or my last brownie.  These Fudgy Kabocha Brownies from Sarah are at the top ‘o the list.
5. This is a little bit of a cheat.  I’ve made it before, but I want Broccoli Heather’s Peanut Butter Cup Omelette.  It’s delicious.

My last figure competition of the year is Saturday!  I'm in Colorado with Heather, who's going to be competing in the bikini division - her first one!  Follow our craziness and post-show debauchery on Instagram. 🙂
Have you made any of the #strangebutgood link ups?
What would be the first thing you eat after walking off the stage?
Oh I like all these ideas. I think all of these sound awesome, especially the kabocha brownies! This needs to happen in my kitchen asap.
Of course you know which recipe I am gravitating towards up there….. THE BALLS! Balls in my moutthhhhhhh pleaseee!
ALL THE BALLSSSSSSS!
Here I was hoping you MAY have done the asparagus snickerdoodles.
Thanks for the shout out and ironic that I have a BALL recipe to contribute today….Can’t wait to see you back in the kitchen after this weekend. Time to dust off the CHWERKING uniform from last week.
asparagus snickerdoodles? i bet you could pull that off!
p.s. Laura—> rock it this weekend! WOOHOO!!
Just reading this now makes me gag.
Good luck! Good luck this weekend!! You and Heather will be awesome! I love seeing all these combinations that you and all the creative cooks come up with. Gives me inspiration!
The blogging world has never made me feel more at home than when we discuss the frightfulness of strangebutgood. It changed a life of boring eats into a magical mixture 😀 I consider you to be the undisputed Queen of Inspiration hahah
Thank you the shout out on amongst the other awesome creations! I’m glad to see that Arman’s Lean Beef Balls got a mention – they’ve made me boring beef patties a thing of the past 😛
Undisputed Queen of Inspiration?! I am honored. 🙂
Lemon Shortbread Oatmeal…..now THAT sounds like my kind of strange.
Good luck this weekend!! Soooo excited for you!!
GOOD LUCK this weekend! Checking out some of the links – kabocha brownies??? Oh yes!
I missed some of these…how did that happen? Probably when I was AWK (away from keyboard-that’s a Big Bang Theory reference.) The cornbread sounds Wonderful!! Great Luck to you this weekend. I’m sending good thoughts your way and I can’t wait to hear!! Hooray for You!!
LOL! I LOVE Big Bang Theory – and I almost never watch TV.
I’ll have to check out those kabocha brownies…I’m intrigued! And good luck this weekend lady!!
GOOD LUCK, my friend!!! You’re gonna do great!
And the first thing I would eat is Mexican food – bring on the enchiladas, rice, and beans!
This all looks deliciously strange but GOOD!! I’ve forgotten to write down the recipe for my coconut biscuits… I know I have it written down somewhere… but in my hectic school-life (a.k.a. papers eeeeeeverywhere, haha) they got lost… soooooo next week!! 😉 I’m linking up next week for sure! XO
Ohhhh… coconut biscuits sound amazing!
Chickpeas in the oats? Very cool idea – oatummus 😉 Good luck! I absolutely cannot wait to hear all about the comp. PIcs, lots of pics.
Oatmmus. I love it. Also, thanks for reminding me I’m out of chickpeas…
Good luck!! I think I’d probably eat a loaf of bread after.
One of our heavy weight guys did that… and more. He gained 25 lbs in 24 hours.
I’m drooling from all your favorites, and it’s not even 9am. Especially those brownies, mmm! Oh! And best of luck tomorrow!!
Aww, thanks for linking me up, hon! I JUST got my new modem set up and I’m ready to PARTY…or catch up on blog reading…same thing! 😉 Super impressed with the strangeness of those oats…can’t say I’ve ever thought to put beans in my oatmeal before….innnnnnnnteresting! And can you believe I forgot about my peanut butter cup omelet? Hmm, I’m thinking I may need to revisit that myself sometime soon! 🙂
Hope you’re having fun turning into an Oompa Loompa again! Crossing my fingers for you and Heather tomorrow! Have fun!
Blog reading isn’t partying?! *gasp*
That omelet was the JAM. You should make it every day. Actually, I’m going to make it with jam… strawberry chocolate jam…
So much strange inspiration! I saw that Banana Cornbread…I have been totally intrigued…
P.S. Good luck this weekend!!!
Holy schmokes…number 5!

a few jars of nut butter? 😉 or a ton of egg yolks??? 😉 i know you want those 😀 you are going to rock it this weekend 😀 can’t wait for pics
Good luck, Laura! KIll it!!! I will be Instagram stalking, as always 😉

Did you try it?! It’s so amazing. Heather is brilliant.
Thx for sharing Laura & thinking of you getting to eat after! 🙂
Hi, I’m Whitney! This is my first contribution to the “strange but good” link up.
I’m contributing my Almond-Crusted Pomegranate Sole recipe.
While some people might not think it’s strange, my dad told me sounds disgusting, so I figured it qualifies! For the record, it’s freaking awesome 🙂
Thanks for sharing all the great recipes from other bloggers. I am dying to make those kabocha brownies too!
Thanks for joining up! You have the right idea – so many things the blog-world wouldn’t call strange the “normal” world would be shocked be! 😉
Um…how did I miss that peanut butter cup omelette?! I need that on my plate next week!
