Create Your Own Food Taste Test

May 16, 2020
-
Posted by Lauren Rodych-Eberle

This is a fun activity to do for a date night, or with kids, or just with yourself. Think of a food you like to eat multiple different ways! Instantly I think of hot dogs, tacos, pizza, pasta, breakfast bowls, sandwiches, toast, yogurt parfaits. Come up with a list to make them 3 or 4 different ways, and then do a taste test!! Get everyone to write down their favourites in order to share. And then, just eat and enjoy.

Ways to Eat Hot Dogs

  • With Mustard, Ketchup, Relish
  • As a Cheese Dog
  • Topped with Pulled Pork
  • Topped with Chili
  • Served with Mac & Cheese
  • With Peanut Butter & Jelly
  • Topped with Your Favourite Cereal

Ways to Eat Hamburgers

  • Change up the meat – beef, turkey, chicken
  • Make it vegetarian – sweet potato, black bean
  • Change up the toppings – different veggies or condiments

Ways to Eat Tacos

  • Pulled Pork
  • Chicken
  • Beef
  • Avocado
  • Fish
  • Cauliflower
  • Keep the protein the same, and change the toppings

Ways to Eat Pizza

  • Change up the sauce – tomato, BBQ, pesto, alfredo
  • Change up the toppings – meat lovers, veggie lovers, with a twist like figs & prosciutto
  • Change up the cheese – cheddar, mozzarella, feta

Ways to Eat Pasta

  • Change the actual pasta – spaghetti, penne, gnocchi
  • Change the sauce – bolognese, alfredo, vodka

Ways to Eat Breakfast Bowls (also try oatmeal bowls)

  • Keep the base the same, and change the style of egg – sunny-side up, scrambled, poached
  • Keep the eggs the same, and change the base – sweet potatoes, white potato hash, kale
  • Keep the eggs and the base the same, and change up the rest – peppers & onions, spicy peppers and meat, mushrooms & tomatoes

Ways to Eat Sandwiches and Toast

  • Switch up the toppings – veggies, spreads
  • Switch up the protein – meat, eggs

Ways to Eat Yogurt Parfaits

  • Try different yogurts
  • Try different granolas
  • Top with all different things – fruit, chocolate, candy!

Happy Food Experimenting!

ABOUT ME
I’m Lauren and I have a deep passion for music, food, the outdoors, and travel. I love random questions and fun facts, and am always searching for better ways to bring wellness and health into my life. I am the owner of Miss Lauren’s Music Studio, where I teach voice, piano, ukulele, and preschool music classes – via Skype and within Calgary. I am a Senior Consultant for Pampered Chef, which has inspired me over the years to write two cookbooks (plus one mini ebook cookbook), that have food preparation made easy in the forefront.

Ready to hear my biggest overwhelm? The stuff. I Ready to hear my biggest overwhelm?

The stuff. I know this is a privileged point, so please be kind. I’ve always attempted to be a wannabe-minimalist (seeing as I have two of everything living between two places, but I want everything to have a purpose and a ‘home.’). 

I’ve very much noticed this be a trigger point for me since having kids, because J and I both have big families, and although their gift giving comes with so much heart and generosity, I’ve tried to find ways to bring in less stuff and to teach my kids to appreciate each gift, sooo less is more. 

Many years ago, my siblings adopted Sibling Christmas where instead of gifts, we have a special night out together! We love this tradition. After the overwhelm I felt this Christmas, being generously gifted Eberle gifts for now TWO kids, I asked J’s siblings if we can adopt a family-friendly event next year and remove all aunt/uncle/cousin gifts. Shout out to all my brother/sister-in-laws for getting on board. 

With C’s birthday party coming up, she asked for no gifts (OR a book as a gift).

Small steps, but always trying!!

Have you found any ways to minimize the stuff chaos in your house?!

Taking your car to the shop with car seat aged kids. 

Do you hang out in the shop with the kids for hours? Do you bring travel car seats and install them to get them home? Honestly, what have y’all done? Having another human help isn’t the solution here for me this time…😅

🎶’Cause I got a roof over my head I got a war 🎶’Cause I got a roof over my head
I got a warm body in bed
I'm doing alright right where I'm at
With what I have

[I got a Jeep, I got a dog]
I got what they call a dream job
Plenty to want, nothing wrong with that
But I'm happy with what I have

I got the air, good eyes to see
Got so much more than I'll ever need
Even the bad days ain't all that bad
With what I have🎶
