Fudge

Image
 Picky Eaters Paradise Hello fellow picky eaters! It’s Owen here! Referring back to the Disney trip, my friends and I ate…. A LOT! One of my favorite snacks/ desserts that I ate was fudge. I tried three different flavors. Chocolate, chocolate peanut butter, and rocky road. The chocolate one was very good; however, it was pretty generic for a trip to Disney. The chocolate peanut butter was so good! It was a good combination of peanut butter and chocolate. Not too generic but also simple. Finally, rocky road! This one was my favorite because it was chocolate fudge with walnuts, and marshmallows. Overall, the fudge was super good but not worth the amount of money with other good options at Disney. 

Butterbeer

 Picky Eaters Paradise Hello fellow picky eaters! It’s Owen here! I am starting to want to explain my food experiences at Disney because of how much fun I had. This day was experienced at Universal.  With that being said, another special food was a Harry Potter classic and one that many people have to get! Butterbeer! This smooth and sweet drink is basically a ginger ale with a butter scotch foam on the top. I really enjoyed the foam, but I feel like the drink itself was not up to the hype that I heard from my Harry Potter friends. I give the drink a 6/10 but most likely will not get it again if I find myself at Universal again.

Turkey Legs

Picky Eaters Paradise   Hello fellow picky eaters! It's Owen here. Based on one of my previous posts, I got to go on a trip to Disney World. I tried a variety of different foods of the different cultures and countries of Epcot. One of my favorites was American food. Yes, I know, why would I want to enjoy American food if I have so many different food options to choose from. If you know me (even though most of you don't), my favorite type of theme park food is TURKEY LEGS! I ate one from Disney and one from Universal and I have not stopped craving for another. The meat falls off the bone and is juicy and extremely flavorful. 10/10 is what I would rate the turkey legs and I definitely will get more!

Chicken Gnocchi

 Picky Eaters Paradise Hello fellow picky eaters! It’s Owen here! Today I tried to recreate my favorite Olive Garden dish. Chicken and Gnocchi. Being a creamy and flavorful dish that incorporates vegetables and chicken, this dish is so good and was not super difficult to make. Once all the basic ingredients are brought together you cook your chicken, then make your “soup” while cooking our veggies down and making the flavors fully combine. My girlfriend and I got to have a great dinner and also a pre-made lunch for tomorrow! I rate this dish a 9/10 because it was definitely better the next day, however, the gnocchi would be better if it was homemade like a dough. I definitely would make it again. 

Crab Rangoon

 Picky Eaters Paradise Hello fellow picky eaters, It's Owen here! This weekend was full of fun with friends at Disney World! The park that we were able to visit was Epcot. Being the park of the different countries and cultures, we had to make sure we stopped by and grabbed a quick bite to eat. One food that I tried was located in China. The crab Rangoon's were one of my top favorites of the day and did not disappoint! Being filled with crab, cream cheese, and fried in a special shell, these big explosions of flavor were no joke!

Dixie Stampede

 Picky Eaters Paradise Hello fellow picky eaters, it's Owen here! Although I didn't make a new food, this previous weekend I got the opportunity to go to Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede. To be honest, I was nervous because all of the food being served was the same for everyone. I heard about the food we were having consisted of chicken, biscuits, soup, and apple pies. The show was amazing, and the food was almost even better. The main course consisted of a small rotisserie chicken, soup and biscuits. The chicken was very good and a very fun finger food to go along with the old western theme. I rate the chicken a 9/10. For the biscuit and the soup together, I give them a 9/10 because it was just a really good tase and also was really fun because the biscuit was basically my spoon. The Dixie Stampede was an awesome experience altogether especially with the old western themed food to bring it all home!

Eggs, Eggs, and Bacon

 Picky Eaters Paradise Hello picky eaters! Its Owen here. This week in my food and nutrition class we talked started a unit on microwaves. Through this we learned about making meals and different foods in our microwaves. These classes foods were bacon, boiled, eggs, and scrambled eggs. I am not going to lie, I did not thoroughly enjoy this unit because of the foods being made in the microwave. The bacon was good like normal bacon and was cooked by 15 second intervals until cooked through. I give the bacon a 7/10 because to be honest it's really hard to mess bacon up. For the boiled egg you have to put and egg in the bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and vent. After cooking for 10 second intervals and when it is fork tender, you are good to eat it. I give the boiled egg a 2/10 just because it was not a good taste, especially from the microwave and the season salt did not do it justice. Lastly, were the scrambled eggs. Just like the boiled egg, the steps were the same but you whisk th...
