When I first began cooking three years ago, I was a recipe follower and took little risks. As someone who loves food but is a picky eater, coming up with new meals, and trying new meals is a challenge. That's why three years ago I vowed to myself to incorporate some new food items into my palate throughout the year. While I love food, I will say that I find planning meals in the summer to be a challenge. Surrounded by fresh ingredients and minimal cooking options due to the heat, a picky eater like me runs into old habits of repeating meals. In this episode, I chat about some of my favorite go-to meals in hopes I can inspire you to reflect on your favorites, as well as realize how you can turn a “boring repeat meal” into something new. I hope you enjoy this foodie episode and don’t forget to share your favorite summer meal or recipe recommendation!
