When I eat, this is WHAT I eat…
Food is like art to me. It’s like a puzzle with lots of different pieces and we get to decide how to throw all that together. Textures, flavors, temperature..let alone cost, personal preference and digestive sensitivities ALL come into play when I’m creating in the kitchen. This is the part that MANY people have a hard time with.
Just like if an artist put a pencil in my hand and tells me to draw a picture of a girl or landscape or whatever...my picture would be a stick figure at first, but over time I could learn technique and the right tools to make my picture more beautiful. The difference is that when we are creating meals, most of it will taste good if we use the right measurements. And really the techniques are fairly easy to pick up.
Below is just a list of foods I eat, and of course I have a cheat sheet for grocery shopping if you want me to send to you I will...just comment below.
