            Food is a part of my everyday life. It is a part of everyone’s life. We incorporate food in our daily lives. Whether were going grocery shopping, having lunch or dinner with our families or friends or preparing a meal at home.

I eat a variety of foods. I eat three times a day and two snacks in between. Sometimes I eat alone and sometimes with friends. I am not picky when it comes to food.  Some of the foods that I usually eat are Chinese, Indian, Spanish, and American foods. I eat three small meals daily. When I get hungry in between meals I have a light snack. When I am at school or work during the week I eat by myself. When I am at home I eat with my parents or my boyfriend. On weekends I go out for either dinner or lunch with friends.

Cooking is one of my favorite things to do. I do the grocery shopping in my family. I love doing the grocery shopping, because I get to buy what I want. When my mother or boyfriend goes they forget to pick up certain things I like. I love cooking different types of food. Growing up my other never stuck to specific meals she changed up her menu every week. I cook Chinese, American, Indian, Italian and anything I discover that’s new. I can’t cook the same types of food each week I would I get tired of them quickly.

My family and I celebrate a holiday called Diwali. For this holiday we fast by not eating any type of meat for a month. My mother hosts Diwali at her house every year and cooks many dishes. She makes curried potatoes, curried mango, roti, pumpkin, and spinach. That is my family’s special occasion meal. I have never worked in the food industry but I would do it to open my horizon on food.  

As you can see food has been a part of my everyday life. I eat three times a day. Have meals alone with family and friends. I cook every week a variety of dishes. I celebrate holidays with food included. Food is a part of everyone’s life just like mine.
