Thanksgiving Edition

Thanksgiving is usually stressful enough… dealing with crazy families, cooking a feast, and making an attempt to go black Friday shopping with a 6 year old.. Seems like this would cause enough anxiety, but nope… thinking about the fact that a holiday is solely based around a feast makes a picky eater cringe.

 It isn’t even Thanksgiving yet and I have already been getting the food jokes. The best one I think I have gotten so far is “what, are you going to use a tray so your foods don’t touch?” This is funny because in my life it’s not a joke. A few years ago, my grandpa did the honor of purchasing a divided plate for me to use at Thanksgiving. Comes with several sections, one for turkey, one for potatoes, one for cranberry sauce, and one especially dedicated to my veggies. This plate has carried on since making even a picky eater enjoy the holiday.

With the stress of thanksgiving, there are perks to being the only picky eater in the family. Since everyone knows how stressful thanksgiving is for me, I get the honor of picking out certain foods that are ALWAYS put on the dinner table.

 Here are my Thanksgiving favorites
1.    Mashed potatoes (5-10 pounds is what my family likes :P)
2.   Veggie trays
3.    Ham (you can have more than just turkey… because OPTIONS)
4.    Pumpkin pie (picky eaters still love dessert!)

 These are all the best foods to make any picky eater enjoy Thanksgiving dinner (but most importantly the potatoes).

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
