Picky-Eaters Paradise

 Picky Eaters Paradise Hello fellow picky eaters! It's Owen here! This week in food and nutrition, we got a choice lab. In these labs we get to decide and make our own meal and with our own ingredients. We decided to make this smoked mac and cheese! With three types of smoked cheese such as gruyere. parmesan, and gouda cheese, we made this masterpiece in one class period! We all got some left over even after sharing with the rest of the class. I give this an easy fifteen out of ten! (A secret to the crust was bacon bits and crushed pork rinds)

 Picky Eaters Paradise Hello fellow picky eaters, it's Owen here! This week in my food and nutrition class, we made pancakes. We tried to taste and see the difference between box mix and making the pancakes from scratch. This batch was the make from scratch version. After cooking like normal when the sides are formed, and the top of the pancake has bubbles you flip and then let it cook until both sides are a nice golden brown. I think that we did really good and they also tasted extremely good. 

Picky Eaters Paradise  Hello fellow picky eater, it's Owen here! This past week I got to go on vacation with a few friends for spring break! During this trip the one night we all look for is the time we all go to a crab leg buffet! For my friends, it was just another day of going. They go every time. I however, had never been. When I walked in, the sea themed restaurant beckoned me in. The endless pile of king crab leges filled the table as my friends and I dug in. I give the crab legs a ten out of ten because I did not believe I would even enjoy them as much as I did. I cannot wait to go back. (Below is a picture of the ice cream i got from the restaurant because I didn't have a picture of the crab leg).

 Picky Eaters Paradise Hello fellow picky eaters, its Owen here! This week I had the opportunity to help my dad with the duties of running a luncheon. For his nonprofit that he is the executive director of, we set up a luncheon to gain financial assistance. Anyways, I got to eat the food while serving, and it consisted of chicken, roast beef, mashed potatoes and more. I would like to explain the roast beef. This amazingly tender and juicy roast beef was by far the best I had ever had! (Best part was the fact that I got to take it home).

Picky Eaters Paradise Hello fellow picky eaters! It’s Owen here! This week along with the pasta lessons described in my last blog, we made some more food! This was a two-day lab mixed with creating our own pasta dough and marinara sauce. The first day consisted of creating the dough and making the sauce. After doing so, the next day we made it altogether and rolled and cut the dough to a fettuccine type noodle and reheated the sauce to make spaghetti. I am not a red sauce type of guy. However, I did enjoy this dish when paired with parmesan cheese (heavily doused of course). I did have to chop the onions very finely because I don't particularly enjoy onions, but I rate this spaghetti 7/10.   

 Picky Eaters Paradise Hello fellow picky eaters! It’s Owen here! As I have previously mentioned in other blogs, I am in a food and nutrition class. We make different foods based on what we learned in class. To be honest, we make simple foods, but they often push me out of my comfort zone. From vegetables in the microwave, homemade pasta, and even eggs in the microwave, I have tried a lot. With that said, this previous week I made creamy alfredo sauce with noodles. The picture below isn't the best looking, however, it tasted very good after adding salt, pepper, and some garlic powder. My friends and I had a fun time making and learning about pasta-based food groups.
