What’S In A Name?

What’s for dinner? How you describe food to yourself and others matters. This helps you know what tastes to expect. This also helps you judge the quality of food and whether it will satisfy you. You often find this level of detail and flair in recipes and high-end restaurant menus!

Here are a few examples:

*  Green beans: Slender string beans drizzled with olive oil and parmesan

*  Yogurt and blueberries: Juicy, market-fresh blueberries resting on a pillow of creamy vanilla bean yogurt

Try it! Write out a menu for yourself that describes your food in a fancy or enticing way. Try this for two vegetables and one fruit. Make and eat one of these this week.
