What I Learned About Food in 2009
23 Dec
In January, I learned that food can be beautiful.
and in February, I took risks.
In March, I learned that I could vlog (video + blog) about oatmeal. I also began to realize my addiction to specialty coffee.
April was a big month because I understood the true meaning of a loaded pizza.
and my first Green Monster was had in May (what took me so long??).
I really can’t think about anything else that happened in June except for introducing myself to a real live lobster.
And July was dedicated to a little furry friend.
August was spent boozin’. What can I say? It was my birthday month.
In September, I discovered I could use chickpeas in a variety of ways – including a burger variety.
I made Eggs in a Frame in October and was reminded of a past I had long forgotten.
And in November, I met Freddy Future, who – in retrospect – did not help me plan out my future.
December was kind of a big deal because I had my first tuna melt at work. Now I can’t stop.
So what did I learn about food in a year?
- Food can be creative; food can be art.
- Food can be healthy comfort.
- Food can bring back memories you thought you’d forgotten.
- Certain foods can be a risk that’s worth it!
I also learned that I live my life through food. And there ain’t a darn thing wrong with that. 
What did you learn about food this year?
I love this post!
I definitely agree with you that taking risks with food is usually worth it
I tried more food this year than probably any other year in my memory anyways
So cute. Love these yearly review posts. That chickpea burger is looking pretty tasty about now
I learned that life without meat can be a wonderful thing 
Aw this is wonderful! I love looking at your breakfast creations!
You are just too much — you never fail to impress me with your creativity! I love this post! This year I learned a lot of good and bad about food. I’ve learned some things about the food industry that I’m not too excited about but at the same time, thanks to the blogging community, I’ve learned that food is meant to be fun, fresh and tasty and can evoke every type of emotion imaginable.
Love this post!!
You are so funny. I love reading your blog and looking at the pictures you post. I look forward to more in 2010!
This year I learned how much I love Rose’s blog. It’s so creative and makes me feel good about food.
Happy Holidays friend.
I learned that food can be a whole lotta fun.
I just got all excited when I saw all those little coffee packets. YUMS!
I learned that green monsters are wonderful, too!
such a cute post! i learned that food can be healing
i love how you’re breaking up the things you did and learned in 2009! great idea!
I, too, learned that food can be beautiful. I also learned that nuts aren’t so intimidating… that they’re actually my best friends
Ah, I loved this! I love seeing everything you’ve done month by month.
I learned that food doesn’t have to be so scary. I’ve relaxed a lot since last year, and enjoy so many more foods now. I treat myself more and life is just generally more fun because of that
I’m loving these retrospective posts! I learned that I can go full days without eating meat and still be fine and then go out to dinner and order a steak. Random but I always thought I had to go completely vegetarian, but now I know I can just weave it into my diet.
Awesome, I’m loving these posts!
I learned that food can be FUN!

i forgot about your specialty coffee drawer haha. is that still stocked?
i also learned that i live my life through food, and this year i finally embraced that.
