Hi, I'm Dana, and I'm a picky eater. Yes, it's shameful but true. The list of foods I do not like, will not try, and will never eat again is unfortunately much longer than the list of foods I love. Basically I'm a culinary pain in the ass. I'm that person who is forever ordering meals and asking them to withhold half of the ingredients. Chefs definitely hate me for this, and until recently I was content to live my life as a cheeseburger, pizza, and chicken finger-eating adult. But lately, I've been getting bored with my go-to meals, and I'm pretty sure my husband would be thrilled if I could go a full week without suggesting chicken stir-fry for dinner.
Although I'm picky, I'm learning that I actually like to cook. I mean really like it. My mom and grandma are truly amazing cooks, so I'm hoping that their talents have been passed down to me. My husband always amazes me because he's joyfully willing to try new foods. A concept that is foreign to me. As a picky eater, I like to stick with what I know, and not venture into an unknown territory. If a menu has a cheeseburger, I'm ordering it. They're delicious and I know I like them.....how can I go wrong! But his adventurous culinary spirit has inspired me to look for new recipes for him (and me) to enjoy. I mean what kind of wife would I be if I made him eat burgers every day right? But, as I began my search for new recipes to try, I started to realize how pathetic it was that my diet is basically that of a six year old. I've realized that in order to become a better cook, and officially join adulthood, I'm going to have to start trying to branch out a little and *gasp* try new things! I'm not expecting to become a foodie anytime soon, but I'm going to take some baby steps to start being more adventurous with food. This blog will follow my new found love of cooking, and hopefully my evolution into a non-picky eater!
