    Eat for fuel, not for fun.

    After about the age of 15, "I'm a picky eater" isn't cute.



    Omigosh, all this time I thought I was so adorable. Damnit. Years and years of cuteness, wasted.

    I am TRYING to eat for fuel. That's the point. I just want my fuel to not taste like ****.



    You're hilariously awesome!!

    Former very picky eater here! :flowerforyou:
    My advice would be to keep trying the things you think you might not like... and to try them different ways! I feel like your tastes buds definately change over time depending on what you are used to. I used to not like ANY vegetables and eat minimal fruit, now there's barely a veggie or fruit out there I won't eat. I mean, are peppers my favorite thing in the world? No. But I made stuffed peppers the other day, and i didn't think i'd like them... I figured I'd just choke them down and have something "fun" afterwards. And I am still surprised that i ended up LOVING them. I wish i made more they were so good. I used to hate carrots too - cooked they were mushy and I just didn't like baby carrots. Turned out, my mom was over cooking them and i love fresh carrots cooked in stir frys or cut up and dipped in hummus. So that's my advice, would just be to start with what you like adn slowly add in some other stuff and to try it in different forms.

    Additional thought - if you've got any friends that you know are big on trying new things and/or cooking different things, ask for their input and ideas. I have a couple of friends that are more creative with cooking so before I try something that sounds interesting, I ask them if they'd ever made it before. Even if they haven't, they usually have some good ideas to share.
