✨ Hello lovely beings ✨
Sometimes I forget that I can do what I want. As long as I'm not hurting anyone or myself, per my own rules, then I can really do whatever I so please. I'm still an introvert with social anxiety, so I still wince at trying this at a larger scale. Food is a tasty and safe way to remind me of my free will though!
TEA!
I used to work at Teavana before Starbucks ate it alive, but it also helped me fall fully in love with Tea. How many things you could blend together to make something delicious, and possibly good for you! I remember my Manager telling me that I was abusing the teas by blending certain kinds and mixing/stirring/squishing to feel like I'm making sure I'm getting all my flavor.... it felt like a compliment 😂. Now, I do feel the need to pick up some loose leafs from the farmer's market to truly make my own tea blends pop, BUT doesn't stop me from getting more out of my fruit scraps with some added seasonings [ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, etc] and boiling water!
Cottage Cheese?
Okay, for whatever reason, I've decided I want to like cottage cheese in my 30s 🤣. I'm a big flavor person, but also texture is very important for me. That little lid of compote was so appealing though, so retry I did. Alas...I didn't like it LOL, but since I'd bought a couple prior I think mom thought I wanted to try more and bought me more 😅 . Cannot waste, so had to find a way it would work for me. "Put it on toast"💡✨! I'm not in the world of cottage cheese, so this felt super new and diff to me, but tastes SO GOOD! With bananas, and honey added ontop of the compote of course lol. I think this will be a good go to breakfast once Im back full time at work.
Avocados
Something else I didn't really enjoy until I was older, but now I can't get enough! Well, sometimes I need to slow down if my allergies/stress levels are running a lil rampant as the nickle inside doesn't sit well with my insides lol! Other than that, I could have it every other day and be happy. They can be used to make egg salad in place of mayonnaise [I love meat salads LOL], can be additions to meals [sammies, soups, salads], or even enjoyed on their own! Of course, mine will be drizzled with a little mixture I concocted as well as seasoned, but still enjoyed "on it's own"!
Eggs 🤤
Eggs are possibly my absolute favorite thing to make. You can put damn near anything you so please with them. And I do! Leftovers become their bed for frying, or scrambled along with anything you cut up. I'm not an omelette maker, but if you have that skill, your combinations are endless! Some humans in my household would look at me a little funny, finding me making my combinations. All up until they taste it *smug smile*. Frying them with some spicy and potatoes makes for the perfect noodle additions everytime!
Are you an exerciser of free will through food? I suppose it's harder to make our own rules with baking, but I'm sure you flex your foodie free will more than you know!
Thank you for reading
