Jelly Soup

I know what you’re thinking… Jelly Soup? Uh what? It’s just a Kerstyn-Angelica thing… you wouldn’t understand.

Picky eating is a struggle in itself, but it is also harder when you live with people and you’re broke college students.This experience has really made me gain appreciation for how amazing the people in my life are and how much of a support system that I really have.

When I sit and think of meals to make, I never really understand how my eating affects anyone else. That is until I lived with the same person for 3 years. Within that time, we got into these Pinterest phase because, you know, we are Betty Crocker or something and we got tired of eating the same few meals every week. Angelica tends to find a new recipes on Pinterest that she is dying to make. From this, I have really come a long way from freshman year. I went from eating plain pasta noodles with only butter to now eating pasta sauces such as parmesan garlic and even Alfredo (when I am feeling risky).

With that being said, there are recipes that just do not work. This week, her recipe is lasagna rolls. Let me tell you, this woman has been through enough lasagna roll recipes to last a life time… why? Because she knows I am picky and won’t eat certain things in my food (for pasta, it’s usually ricotta cheese or any cheese that just looks funny… EW).

Moral of the Story:
Get yourself a best friend that deals with your ridiculous insecurities! Thank you for dealing with me Jelly Bean; you’re the best! Don’t worry you’ll get to cook all the crazy food you want when we graduate in 38 days… RIP

P.S. the lasagna recipe is http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/creamy-lasagna-roll-ups-150599.aspx?cm_mmc=Social-_-Pinterest-_-Ahalogy-_-150599

… let us know how it is :P and by us, I mean Angelica.

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...
