My Favorite Food

I really like food. If anyone looked at my family you would understand when I say I really really like food. Growing up, my mom had this rule that you have to try something once and if you truly don't like it she will never make you eat it again. She got this rule from my grandma.

I really don't have one specific food that is my absolute all time favorite. I like all types of food. Including; pasta (any kind), Brussels sprouts, asparagus, strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, pizza, meatloaf, red velvet cake, chicken nuggets, ice cream, chocolate chip cookies, ribble soup.... The list could go on forever really.

I came to appreciate food so much because my grandma on my mother's side used to make everything from scratch. She never used boxed anything. It was one of the best things ever. She also would make us birthday dinners on our birthdays or around them. We could pick whatever we wanted. I typically picked out something along the lines of veggie lasagna and red velvet cake. It really was one of my favorite meals of the year, mostly because it was exactly what I wanted and I got to help make it.

One of my favorite drinks is coffee. My grandparents on my mother's side always had coffee when I was growing up. It was good coffee also. It was never too bold, never too weak, and always brewed to perfection. I think they made so much of it over the years that they just got so good at it. All these kids in grade school would always tell me that they were never allowed to have coffee and that their parents said it would stunt their growth. I told them my grandparents had me drinking coffee when I was in diapers and look at me now, an above height for a woman. Now a days, I have at least one cup a day.

I would say that my grandparents effected my favorite types of food.
