Who knows, but anyways this trip has involved so much freaking food that it gave me an idea for a blog -> my ways of eating. If you're someone who knows me (99% of you are not), but if you were you'd know that I am THE BIGGEST picky eater. I literally have the smallest range of food that I'll eat and really never venture out. When it comes to breakfast foods I am an addict. I could eat breakfast 24/7. Whenever someone says, "what sounds good to eat" my mind usually shifts to breakfast food, but then I remember not everyone is obsessed with it like I am so I say something more practical. I am a big fan of waffles, pancakes, french toast, omelettes, scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, bagels, and breakfast sandwiches of course. If I am lazy it often times comes down to a bowl of cereal, but if I am feeling wild sometimes I'll make some toast with butter and jelly on it (ONLY STRAWBERRY) and sometimes cut up some fruit. Strawberries, bananas, oranges (cuties in specific), grapes, apples, and recently pineapple are some of my favorite fruits. I've found that I love cutting up strawberries and bananas and eating them together. I'm so OCD that I'll even try to cut up the same amount of each, crazy right? So breakfast wasn't too picky, right? I have a wide range of things I'll eat for breakfast so I think that's why it's my favorite. Lunch and dinner are when it gets a little more complicated. I like most kinds of meat, including chicken, pork, beef, but no fish. The only seafood piece of food I'll eat is fried shrimp. I throughly enjoy pasta, spaghetti and fettuccine alfredo are the top choices. Typically during a week at school I eat a lot of frozen pizza, breadsticks, salad, and too many frozen/microwave meals. Side wise, I LOVE mac-and-cheese, I literally could have it every single day. I like corn, potatoes, rolls, basically anything with carbs. I've come to enjoy spinach and kale in smoothies or in a salad, and in my salads there is almost nothing - lettuce, cheese, croutons, and catalina dressing only. I mainly live off of chicken, pizza, pasta, breadsticks, salad, and bad for you snacks. Here's some fun facts: -All burgers I get are completely plain with only cheese (sometimes bacon) -I don't eat meat in my spaghetti sauce -My chicken/pork/beef either has to be plain or very lightly lightly sauced -I don't eat any green beans, peas, carrots, or basically any vegetables that are decent for you -I will only eat catalina dressing, by that I mean I will literally take a bottle from home to the restaurant -My food cannot be mixed -I have ordered mainly off of the kids menu from the ages of 12-18 -I hadn't had steak until the summer before 8th grade -I just now on this vacation tried peaches, pineapple, raspberries, sweet potatoes, apple fritters, Thai food, and even ate some shrimp -I LOVE corn on the cob The worst part of being a picker eater overall is hearing each new individual you come into contact with comment on what you're eating/not eating and then try and shove all these new foods you really don't want to try into your mouth. Or going out to eat at a fancy restaurant.. that is the real struggle. Here I'll be at a five star restaurant with food that I'm sure is out of this world, yet I'll just want chicken fingers. Or another good one is having the family make me a totally separate meal from theirs. I wouldn't say it's embarrassing because that's just how I am and I'm used to it, but it does make many things a little challenging. Yes, I suck. So to end, I am a weird eater that basically eats the same thing each week. Luckily, my metabolism hasn't caught up to me yet, lord help me the day it does. xoxo, mackenzie
