Picky Eaters!

I am the girl who grew up eating lots of pasta and hot dogs because they were (are) pretty cheap and easy to make. When I was old enough I used to cook for me and my brother and we literally lived off Hamburger Helper, Kraft Mac and Cheese, Tacos, and anything else that you can boil and make in 20 minutes. It definitely made us picky eaters because that's all we knew. Now that I am in college I haven't strayed to far from the gourmet meals I used to make me and my brother. My favorite food is still mac and cheese and I eat tacos (or some form of Mexican) all the time. Living on a college budget I still (have to) make the cheap, easy foods I know how to make. Fortunately, I work part-time at a restaurant in Cary called Chef's Palette. They serve American food with a Creole kinda twist. So I have learned to expand my palate just by working there for 8 months. We serve a lot of seafood and spicy food that I was never used to. I also have wonderful friends who love taking me to new restaurants all around town that I've never been to. So I would say that my "pickness" is fading fast and I am enjoying the wonderful new foods available out there.
