• Re-Creating Foods From Your Past

  
  

  
  I was really craving something specific tonight for dinner. I was thinking about the foods I used to eat in college from the sandwich shop on campus. Although it was not the healthiest, I always used to get a buffalo chicken wrap with cheese and it would always hit the spot in the middle of my four hour classes. I never cared what I ate in college though, and that is exactly why I gained 15 pounds!
  
  I've been eating really well for the past few weeks and I figured tonight would be a good night to give into my desires. It's all about moderation anyway, I don't like to restrict myself from specific foods, especially since I like to eat so much. So, I couldn't stop thinking about that specific buffalo chicken wrap so of course that is what I had to eat for dinner tonight.
  
  I kept it simple and bought frozen chicken tenders, buffalo sauce, cheese, and wraps. I cooked the chicken and then slathered it in buffalo sauce and put it inside a wrap with cheese and lettuce. It definitely hit the spot and was way better than the one from the college years. I often think of random things that I used to eat in the past and it's fun to recreate them, but most of the time I try to recreate them in a healthier way, unlike tonight.
  
  Do you ever re-create specific recipes or foods you remember eating when you were little?
