Tips 'N Tricks

 As a picky eater, choosing what types of food to eat and how to eat them is already hard enough. But, with this being my fifteenth year at it, I have come down to a few tricks that help going to restaurants easier and simply just tricks to "spice" up your life. When I say spice up, I mean spice up in a picky eater fashion.

Buffalo Wild Wings

 Bdubs is my absolute favorite place to go because, like, chicken wings. Wings are the one food I can't really be picky about because I just love them so much. well, they have to be boneless but it's whatever. I am a very avid Buffalo Wild Wing customer, so like first tip, download the app. You'll thank me later. Then lastly, order your wings bare with the sauce on the side. I know this sounds crazy but then, if you have leftovers, your wings won't be soggy and you can also control exactly how much sauce is on your wings. This helps when they put too much or not enough on the wings if they were ordered regularly. It's a win win!

Olive Garden Pasta

 Ordering pasta at restaurants typically gets hard for people like me. I do NOT typically eat sauce on my pasta, only special occasions. Well, one of my favorite things to order at Olive Garden is the Garlic Asiago Alfredo. Way out of my comfort zone, I know. If you're anything like me, I do NOT like it when they pour the pasta sauce on top because it gets clumpy and isn't evenly distributed. From this, my tip is to order your pasta and ask for them to toss your pasta in the sauce instead of pouring it on top. It makes the meal delicious and life is good. 
NOTE: waiters and waitresses hate me everywhere I go... I'M SORRY.

Any Pizza Place

 Pizza is where I really like to get crazy... my choices range from pepperoni to like extra pepperoni pizza. There are many times that the local pizza places do the large two topping pizza deal and everyone, but me, gets excited because I only like one topping. The trick here is to order a two topping pizza and choose pepperoni for both toppings. Believe it or not, this saves you a couple extra dollars and you can get super crazy with that topping :) (This works with other toppings too, pepperoni is just the best.)

McDonald's

 This is where the real tips start to set in. Literally, I could write all day about how much I LOVE McDonald's. Since I live right next door to McDonald's, I would have to be bias and think I am their most loyal customer. So, for starters, download their app, it's literally the best things since sliced bread. When you have the app, you can participate in FRYDAYS! This is where you get a free medium fry every Friday with a purchase of anything. I just buy a drink shh. Also, having the app, McDonald's has a free fry giveaway every time Bradley University or ISU scores more than 75 points during basketball season... FREE LARGE FRIES PEOPLE. With this, it also works with the McPick 2 for 3. Since I am a NUGGETS LOVER, I always think of ways on how I can get more nuggets. If you purchase a McPick 2 for 3 on Free Fry Days, you can get a free medium fry with two 6 piece nuggets and a drink for at least a $1 less than the 10 piece meal. These are just some of the things I think about in my free time... Talk about making out like a bandit.
Please stay turned for more adventures of the picky eater! You never know what you're going to learn.

    How have I not thought about the sauce on the side idea before?! I always find myself with either WAY too much or WAY too little sauce on my wings, so thank you this is revolutionary. I also never knew about the free FRYday, great tip on combining it with the McPick 2!

The Sandwich Life

Image
Through my picky eating experiences, trying new foods has been a rather difficult time for me. (See blog Keep Calm and Don’t Eat the Food). But being a picky eater does have its downfalls. Since I have a particular set of foods that I eat, there isn’t much of a variety. As a result, eating the same foods all the time does get rather boring. So, slowly but surely, I have been attempting to branch out and try some new foods. The typical Kerstyn would only eat a burger with just cheese and ketchup or a sandwich with just lunch meat and bread. But, with that being said, here are some new sandwiches that I have enjoyed within the last year that everyone picky or not should try: Triple Bacon Burger Over the summer, my grandma was in town and we decided to go to Applebee’s. Well, one look at the menu and instant anxiety because I had no idea what on earth I was going to eat… that is when I saw it…the triple bacon burger. Bacon is one of my favorite foods so why not eat a burger...

10 Things NOT to Say to a Picky Eater

Image
Don’t mind me being a Negative Nancy over here but there are some things that seem to amaze me that people ask. Here is another adventure from the life of a picky eater. These are just some of the silly questions I get as told by New Girl. 1. "You’re just being difficult" Correction, I am not being difficult as you don’t see me trying to stuff things in your face that you aren’t a fan of. It’s no different than one not liking the way clothing items look or going to certain places. It just so happens I like certain food, end of story. 2. "How can you eat *insert food here* if you don’t like your food touching?" This is the most frequent question I receive. When I say I don’t like my food touching, I mean I don’t want my potatoes touching my steak or my ranch touching my wing sauce. So when you ask STUPID questions like how do you eat a cheeseburger because its touching, it makes me want to slap you. 3. "It all goes to ...

The Pizza Spreadsheet

Image
Being a picky eater was a hot topic during my summer internship at Caterpillar this past summer. My group was very interactive and we went out for weekly lunches as a group for “team bonding.” Side note: I promise you, you will never regret this in the workplace… always have team bonding over food! So, with this being said, here is a little background: it was always difficult to go out to eat because like, I’m me, and my food groups consist of salad, nuggets, and pizza. One day, my boss made a comment about what pizza places I like. The basic girl I am responds with “Dominos, Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, etc.” because like he won’t know what La Roma’s is (his loss) . The judgment I got from this is where it all started… a pizza spreadsheet was born and everyone made recommendations on pizza places in the area. We then took a team vote and ranked the pizza places as such. Not only did we try a new pizza place every week, we ranked them based on taste and quality food. T...
